PCCB-00057: COLUMNS•COLUMNS II

[Hellacia]

I replaced the interpunct ・ in the English title with a bullet • because I saw it used in another soundtrack before. The interpunct is Unicode and I'm pretty sure we want to avoid Unicode in English titles whenever possible. Or, we're considering the symbol in that soundtrack to actually be a bullet and I'm just wrong here. I think this is for the better, though. But when I look at how it's written on the back spine, it looks just as much like a bullet here.

For the Dolphin discussion thread, I made a quick scan of Bo's liner notes from the insert. The foldout is larger than my scanner, so I'm not currently planning on rescanning the rest of it by manhandling it or doing it in pieces, but I uploaded the full notes scan to this entry.

Just in case anyone is wondering why I added that and only that.

Takayuki Nakamura visited this page and said the credits were wrong. "At that time, credit Maybe sloppy." and "However, it may not it was composed by myself". Also, "It is a mistake this site" (VGMDB).

Since his site also lists Columns II, I'm gonna add him as the true composer. But what is Dolphins role? He says Dolphin had no role and what Bo said was a mistake.

[Secret Squirrel]

Thanks for contacting the composer. I've unlinked Dolphin and linked up Takayuki Nakamura.

It was actually my friend on Facebook who found out this time. ; )

Does Nakamura know the real identity of Dolphin?

[dissident93]

Huh, didn't see that message above.

No, he only knows that his family name is Takada, which Tokuhiko Uwabo, Masaru Setsumaru, and Koichi Namiki all agree with. But apparently nobody can remember his first name. (only that it begins with a Y)

ALSO! It seems Dolphin/Takada DID write music for Columns II. Nakamura linked me to "S.E. Edit Version", saying it's his song, but did not mention any other tracks. I sent him a track listing of the OST, to pick out which songs are his or not.

[dissident93]

He says 9-13 and 17 are his music, but the rest of the tracks he doesn't remember. I'm guessing these are Dolphin's?
