For now, I've removed the linked artists in that Lunar bootleg.

I thought about it after a discussion we had in this thread, as we didn't find a way to indicate that a disc was a reprint as part of another album. Maybe the organization of the LE releases will improve with the automatic "Limited Edition" in the title like Gigablah said. Or if somehow the albums are linked together, but with independent artists. Perhaps it can be added some indication, like "Limited Edition of catalog number" with the link for the correspondent album.

I had not realized that Hamauzu's music will also be on the CD drama. I think this complicates a bit what I was imagining...

I agree, also appears to be a solution, though I also find that the discographies of the composers will fill with similar albums.

I've also think about it. I must say that I'm not a big fan of many "feat." in official releases that I saw in database, especially from concerts and arranged albums, since it is difficult to determine if the composer really had no involvement. A lot can happen behind the scenes that are often not credited.

It would be very interesting indeed. I think the upcoming metadata will determine the statistics of the composers more accurately.
