Oh yeah that's a good point (he just did it!) and I forgot we abolished "Official" longs ago. Now it's "Commercial". We haven't tighten up the definition yet, so what "Commercial" is may vary by individual, but I think it's still hard to classify this album as "Fan-made", since this guy got the licence from SQEX (the lack of licence is not always definitive to classify something as Doujin/Fan-made, but that's another story).

この楽曲のサンプリング使用が公式に認められたのは、スーパーファミコン専用タイトルが1995年に発売さ れてから14年目にして今回が初。清水翔太の熱意が原曲作曲者の光田康典と発売元のスクウェア・エニックス 関係者に伝わり、ついに使用が許諾されることになった。
A very rough translation is "This is the first case the sampling use of this track was official allowed while 14 years had passed since the SNES title was released in 1995. The license was finally given, after Yasunori Mitsuda, the original composer and Square Enix, the publisher, listened to the eagerness of Shota Shimizu.".


Anyway, there is another album that features the same track from CT (10th track). You could go ahead and add it instead, but as only one track of the entire album is game-related, it might not be seen as a welcome addition by some users (same applies for that single).
