LS-0408: Porthole of Sapphism Full Arrange Soundtrack ~Aigrette~

[CHz]

Adding this one to the list of best album titles ever.

Composer's from the game's page at Liar-soft and doesn't seem to get more specific than that. Dunno about arrangement.

Oh my, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to interpret the significance of the *cough* "porthole" part of the title ... actually I don't I even want to think about it =DDDD

This has to be up there with the likes of Kohta Takahashi's Fuckin' Sounds for sure.

[Secret Squirrel]

Interesting. I wonder if there are 2 versions of this, since I have this cover with only 13 tracks:

[Gigablah]

The CD was released on Comiket 66, so August 13 should be the correct release date.

19	3:31	舷窓の乙女達 ピアノアレンジ

The second one seems to be the redbook audio from the game disc. I think the product pages have the wrong tracklist and the 13-track version is correct.

[CHz]

Yeah, that scan says August 13 on it.

This page has both the 13-track French tracklist, as well as the first 13 tracks of the 15-track one currently on the entry page as the "original titles" of the arrangements. Dunno how two additional tracks got put on the end of the list of originals.

EDIT:

A few sites credit Hyakutaro Tsukumo with at least the vocal tracks from the game. The game is listed in his works at his Macaron Vox profile, so I'm feeling pretty good with that credit. Found one page that credits composition to him and Shigeru Nagasaki, who seems a part of the FNAG crew, in that he has scenario credits on Lost Technology Plus.

Sorry, but I can't seem to find out what the source for the current tracklist is? From what I figured out it's the original tracktitles in the order they appear on the arrange album plus 2 additional tracks. But where's all of that coming from?

As far as I know the 13 track tracklist with the French titles definitely is correct, but nobody added it (for a reason?).

Also according to her website, Harumi Shiina is the composer of ほほえみの猫曜日 which is "le chat" on AIGRETTE.

[CHz]

Just never got around to fixing it!

That old tracklist was on some page for the album I found while adding it initially.

[Gigablah]

There's a few pages that credit composition credits to "No Brand Sounds". I think that's the name of the group after Factory Noise & AG. When did they make the switch?

[Teioh]

I never really understood the difference between NoBrand Sounds and Factory Noise&AG.
Wikipedia says NoBrand Sounds was only used for a certain time.

Perhaps they started as 雑音工房NOISE (that's how they are credited for Liarsoft games 2000-2002), renamed to NoBrand Sounds (2003-2005, last one was Born Freaks) and now are Factory Noise&AG (and not composing for Liarsoft anymore )?
