That's the thing, you're going on an incorrect definition of the term. There are doujin circles that produce strictly original work (and don't arrange) and there are also doujin sound tracks (namely those for doujin games.) And as for official, what about publishers who are just licensing the rights, is that still 'official'? Or what about a release by the original songwriter who may not own the copyright?
