Maybe I'm devoid of understanding as usual, but I have a similar issue with Hentai game companies. Often, only the name/logo of one Hentai brand is printed on the scan, but I assume the actual publication and distribution is handled by the company which the brand is under the umbrella of, because (correct me if I'm wrong) Hentai game brands are just in-house studios or such so I'm not sure I call it as the publisher. We currently treat Leaf as the publisher of the LFCD- albums, but their official site states those albums are indeed both published and distributed by Aquaplus. So I wonder it would be better to treat Leaf and Aquaplus as the imprint and the publisher, respectively, but I could be just wrong, as the Leaf/Aquaplus thing was already mentioned in the OP.


So any tip?
avex trax is already listed as an imprint of Avex Group, albums released under the avex trax name should be linked to avex trax. Leaf is a brand of Aquaplus so they should probably be treated as an imprint (but there's currently no organization entry for Aquaplus.) Albums released under the name of an imprint should be linked to that imprint, even if they're technically published by the parent company (they are after all the same entity.) At least, that's how I see it.
