So, the theme of Emil's Shop based on Emil/Sacrifice from the first Nier?

[IIIIIIIIIIIIIII_IIIIIIIIIIIIIII]

They sound pretty similar, don't they?

[Aemony]

Yes. All of Emil's songs in NieR:Automata includes cues from the sacrifice track here and there. Hell, the Emil (Despair) track is straight up an action-packed version of that track.

The Japanese vocals make it plainly clear because she uses one of the phrases from the song (it's kind of funnier that way, but I still prefer the English version).

The English actor just hummed through all of it (at least, if there was any of the original lyrics, I couldn't pick it up).

She uses one of the phrases from E/S? Isn't it sung in fake language?
The English song has both humming and lyrics, as well as the Japanese one. Here is the lyrics:

My stuff's so cheap
That you will not believe
How much you can save
So swing on by
And then purchase things 'til you're broke
Prices so low
That'll you need a greatsword to slash them more
Any lower
Would be illegal, really

Every day's a sale!
Every sale's a win!
Buy stuff now or kick yourself later
Every day's a sale!
Every sale's a win!
I won't even charge you a markup
Every day's a sale!
Every sale's a win!
Better buy now or you'll cry all night
Every day's a sale!
Every sale's a win!
Every day is great!
When you're meeee!

I actually prefer the English one, for it sounds more like he's making it's lyrics up as the music goes. Japanese always sounds like it's a complete song and it even rhymes with music sometimes.

The lyrics are created using a combination of real-life languages.

For this track, the "humming" part is where the original lyrics come in with the Japanese vocals. In English, I couldn't pick up any actual words.

Obviously, the singing part in the new track is Emil's silly shop song in both languages.
