For those wondering, this isn't the Genesis soundtrack, but the original X68000 one.

I know the album back uses screenshots from the X68000 version, but I think the music is from the MD version. Track 9 is probably Death Face's, Track 21 is probably the MD version of Big na okata 4 (level structure was reshuffled between versions and this boss theme became the continue theme), and this album does not have both versions of Tan Tan.

The info we have across different albums is inconsistent about who composed "The wind blew all day long." The page for this album and TCS-0001 credit Tomomi Otani, but all three TFIII albums (TCS-0003, TCS-0018, WM-0793~4) credit Naosuke Arai. So which is it?

The TF3 album notes actually credit both Arai and Otani for it, easy to misread when the credits are separated like this. As far as I know there's never been a breakdown for TF3 in a soundtrack album or sound test; those credits come from a widely spread Japanese breakdown that I've never actually been able to verify the source of.

Otani originally composed it for TF2 (he's the only person credited in the original X68K version for the music, and TCS-0001 specifically gives it to him). If the Arai/Otani credit is actually correct for the TF3 version, then Arai may have been involved in arranging it.

Our credits at the moment seem to suggest the opposite; with Arai "featured" on TFIII I initially took it to mean he composed it for TFII and then Otani or Yamanishi arranged it for TFIII. If there's no source for that composer breakdown, then should it be scrapped or do we assume it's accurate since there's nothing else to go on?

I've thought about deleting it in the past, but never actually pulled the trigger. At the very least I did unfeature Arai yeah, that's a good call.
