Default Plagiarized Kirby 64 doujin arrangement ID?

This is copied from http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=39843, but I've had no luck IDing it yet, so I'm trying here as well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z13XFlZDhKg

It's an arrangement of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwpLSiplyYc from Kirby 64

Would anyone know where this Kirby 64 arrangement is from? Could be from a doujin album, arrange event or just someone's solo work?

It's not by Fairuzons/fairuzonss, who was suspected by KyleJCrb and verified by Dhsu to have stolen & plagiarized multiple arrangements from http://vgmdb.net/album/4876 on his Newgrounds account, which has since been terminated along with his YouTube accounts.

3. Mod goes to OCREMIX to see if the guys over there can confirm or deny his suspicions, they found that he had stolen work.
4. The proper consequences ensue.
Based on the dates of the verified stolen material plagiarized by Fairuzons/fairuzonss, the stolen Kirby 64 is possibly from 2007 or earlier, and definitely no later than May 2009, but it's tough to know for sure.

Thanks for anyone who can help!
