Wrong. I'm stating a fact here.
I didn´t find any special info about Joe in submission rules. It is your fact.
Real fact: Original Work - Music that has no connection to any of VGMdb's categories.
VGMdb staff runs this place
OK and we haven´t any official response about Joe case.
Check this debates about staff opinion about submissions, no clearly response there.

Yes, there is a difference between Joe Hisaishi and the other people you listed. I give you a hint. It could be the name
No response at all.
The world isn't fair, deal with it. However this has nothing to do with being "honest and fair" in the first place.
Again no valuable response.
Stop trying to derive other exceptions from the ones we already have. The VGMdb isn't the place for general television / drama / movie score cataloging. Use common sense when submitting something!.
1st - I didn´t even submit this Itazura album. Please check basic info before posting.
2nd - I provided facts to this discussion and you provided nothing.
3rd - "Stop trying to derive other exceptions from the ones we already have".
LA you should try to read this sentence really carefully and I bet that you find what a nonsense you wrote.
In the end I would be glad if there could be more original works albums (f.e. drama or movie albums) by other composers who are also well known in anime genre and I think that it would help database and other users.
