A franchise has already been established or will eventually such as those that begin as radio or/and drama to advertise the anime, light novel, or/and visual novel for said product.

Our purpose in hosting product pages is to:
Provide a cross-reference so that a user can find albums or artists that share a product or franchise
Provide a way to distinguish music that comes from different releases of the same product on different platforms
Allow for future cataloging of music-related information of interest (e.g., composer credits for unpublished music, or tracklists for redbooks)
A Franchise is a grouping of products, such as "Final Fantasy" for the Final Fantasy games, or Touhou for all of the Touhou stuff. A Franchise can contain products from different genres. A product can also be linked under multiple franchise, for example, you could put Xmen vs Street Fighter under both the Xmen and Street FIghter franchises.

So I don't understand why this is being contributed as some other product. It clearly is pointing towards a goal and that's their product line. In this case Cross Days. Or am I wrong in understanding what was written? From what I continue to read is that the addition of "Radio ..." is being stereotyped for it's genre and really nothing else.
On a interesting point that came to mind from that post above is cross-reference between a a anime series that tries it's hand to a game and vice-versa. This complicates matters such as with Bakemonogatari's vocal and OST albums and the game OST from here:
http://vgmdb.net/album/36663 it's not linked or cross-referenced in it's created page either
http://vgmdb.net/product/1756 or is it strictly to point out it's animation solely? Since many anime to game and vice-versa don't have many sequels.
I don't know much about ToHeart 2 but I don't see any difference from what the owners of that franchise is trying to do from the many others that follow that pattern. Also that wiki page still has a link to the original content unlike many albums here as noted elsewhere which
Related Albums becomes a big help for old and new users.

Do "
commercials" go on for hours and hours? It doesn't matter if that's how you see it ultimately that is not how those creators see it. It's part of their line.
Nobuo's Uemtasu's Phantasmagoria
http://vgmdb.net/album/1858 is labeled not as a Original Work but for FINAL FANTASY for simply having
1 single track for his connection to the series. Far stretch is it not? How is that any different from seiyuu's contributing via their voice and persona for the audience to get to know them? They are both performing and advertising what they are involved with.
