That is very true. It's hard for me to say whether or not that warrants adding the game as to the products field, though. It probably shouldn't since that game never released, so this (the MEGA-CD version of Teddy Boy Blues that comes with the album) is its first public appearance.

We probably shouldn't set a precedent that every reused song from an unreleased game should add the original game to the product field. Same principle as on Dairantou Smash Brothers for Nintendo 3DS / for Wii U Special Sound Test, how it only links to Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, not all the other games that had arrangements made for the game. Or how we're not linking Scramble Spirits to COLUMNS•COLUMNS II just because the original version of DRONE was an unused track in Scramble Spirits (although probably most people don't know about that). Um, maybe like how SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 4 EPISODE I & II ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK doesn't link to Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island even though pretty much everyone knows Boss : Dr. Eggman comes from an unused Sonic 3D song.

Maybe if we introduce the sometimes-requested system where we could link "arranged music from this game for that game" into the field and have them be unique from the regular arrangement type.
