Synergy Records releases
It's nearly impossible to find solid information on these, from my experience. I've been trying for a couple of weeks now, but haven't had much luck - what I have found out is fairly insubstantial and probably not news to anyone. So, I'm wondering if anyone around here has more information on them (tracklists and composer credits more specifically, but any information at all would be sweet), or if the lack of information is exactly the reason why these albums haven't appeared on vgmdb yet. I don't like to ask, but I'm at my wit's end!
Just to clarify, the releases I'm referring to are MCMLXC, MCMXCI, Mystery case in Hi!! School!! and Generate. I'm guessing that's all of them, anyway.

I poked around a little. There's some information on these sites:
http://www.ne.jp/asahi/4-leaf/kmr/gm/gmetcindex.htm http://www6.ocn.ne.jp/~diatonic/cd2_right.html as well as an expired YJA auction with good scans of Mystery Case in Hi!! School!! There is a cat number on the inside scan, but I can't make it out. http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e77994923 Plus a couple of albums for sale: http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e76736620 http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/99941255 Anyway, I put together everything I found on Mystery case in Hi!! School!! and put up a page: http://www.vgmdb.net/db/albums.php?id=8445 |

Looks to me like the cat # is F55-1992 .. though that F could also be a P. Either-way, google hasn't got anything that I can see.
Anyway, thanks for putting this up. I knew about the first two sites, but I'm not familiar with any of those composer aliases. Didn't know about the auctions though (or the 'philosophy of sound' release - that seems to be the only page in existence for that one).

I got MCMXCI and Generate from a trade a few days back. The mp3s are tagged, but in japanese, and I'm not the most qualified person for proper translation. However I'm fairly certain Hiroshi Miyauchi, Shinji Hosoe, Hayato Matsuo, Hitoshi Sakimoto, Yuzo Koshiro and Takayuki Aihara are amongst the composers on these releases, from a few quick searches. Hopefully of interest:
GENERATE: 01 ???? (TRACK MISSING) 02 光吉 猛修 - Gloove 03 近藤 光彦 - X-Ray 04 真樹 緑 - 真夏のエモーション * 05 荒川 憲一 with Proceed - Moonlight Dance 06 中西 哲一 - Last Fight 07 Mari - Snowcat in the Summer 08 I Am (Masaharu Iwata) - Cipher 09 Gong - Underground 10 Helmesたこやき事務 - THC 11 Miu - Nomen 12 Kid - Snobbism 13 M-Ki - Techno Factory 14 近藤 光彦 - Profanation 15 Napo.Sun / 赤羽野菜開発団 - 夜明けの段々畑 * same as Track 12 on T.O.U.R.S MCMXCI: 01 細江 慎治 - ラビオサンダーすこぴゅー 02 Chobin - Blue Wind 03 はいああ - Sky Window 04 Kaja - Lovelorn 05 山田 企予子 - Season Off 06 藤井 良彦 & Nekoyo - Sea Sea Sea 07 中田 成憲 - Outer Zone 08 Thomas Brown - 南に急ごう 09 Kid - Class_B 10 宮内 博史 - The Sun 11 Miu - TGD#1 12 古代 祐三 - Tiny Groove 13 炎尾煙 & Chemool - 熱血旋風 14 God - EDD 15 Tenteko - 夏の分校 16 Mari. - 教会にたたずむたぷちゃん 17 Mom 松尾&Ymo.Hs - Nuts 18 永田 英哉 &下山 喜一& 安藤 弘二 - スーパー ザ・ホライズン No scans of either release unfortunately

So these credits are from the album tags? I'm a little skeptical about the accuracy, since track 4, the one you said is on TOURS, is credited here to Midori Maki and not Takayuki Aihara. But I went through the names anyway and pulled out the ones I could figure out or had reasonable guesses about.
Quote:
03 近藤 光彦: Mitsuhiko Kondo 04 真樹 緑: Midori Maki 05 荒川 憲一 with Proceed: Kenichi Arakawa with Proceed 06 中西 哲一: Tetsukazu Nakanishi 07 Mari: I'd guess Mari Yamaguchi 10 Helmesたこやき事務: Helmes Takoyaki Work? 14 近藤 光彦: Mitsuhiko Kondo again 15 Napo.Sun / 赤羽野菜開発団: Napo.Sun / Akabane Vegetable Development Group? Maybe like crop growing or genetic modification. Quote:
02 Chobin: Tetsukazu Nakanishi 03 はいああ: I don't know who this is, but it reads as "haiaa"/"higher" 04 Kaja: Masahiro Kajihara 05 山田 企予子: I'm not positive how to read this, but the name appears on this Yahoo! Japan Auctions page for the album with 水月陵 (Ryo Mizutsuki) in parenthesis next to it, so it might be an alias or a vocalist. 06 藤井 良彦 & Nekoyo: Yoshihiko Fujii & Nekoyo 10 宮内 博史: Hiroshi Miyauchi 12 古代 祐三: Yuzo Koshiro 16 Mari.: Mari Yamaguchi again, if I were to guess 17 Mom 松尾&Ymo.Hs: Ymo.Hs is an alias for Hitoshi Sakimoto. Mom 松尾 might be Hayato Matsuo, since 松尾 is his last name. 18 永田 英哉 &下山 喜一& 安藤 弘二: 永田 英哉 is Hideya Nagata, but I don't know who the other two are. |

Perhaps there is some sort of rational explanation for why Midori Maki is credited rather than Aihara, although I can't possibly think what at this point... I agree, it's pretty dubious. These tracklists probably shouldn't go up without proper confirmation from scans (especially since GENERATE is missing a track anyway), but who knows when that'll happen.
Anyway, cheers. The rest of the names are pretty much as I expected. Would love to know what the tracknames read too.

What I provided to you is from a confidential but usually reliable Japanese source. If you ever do find a better rip of Generate or MCMXCI, please tell me though.

I'd venture that 山田企予子 is read as Kiyoko Yamada. It's most probably an alias for Ryo Mizutsuki, since the games listed after her name all involve Ryo Mizutsuki as composer.
Freedbtest has this tracklist for MCMLXC: Code:
1 3:18 Hightway Night 2 3:47 Challenger 3 3:14 Midorix 4 4:04 Flying Temple 5 4:00 観光団体の逆襲 6 4:02 草原を風が渡る 7 4:01 アーリアン1 8 3:03 Midnight Illusion 9 3:24 Scrap's Beat 10 3:33 White Illusion 11 2:06 TeChNOiD 12 3:08 シルエットドリーム 13 2:48 Prepossession 14 2:20 Space Fight 15 2:54 Revolution 16 2:07 The Volcanic Bomb 17 4:02 Super Scheme 18 10:58 100yen Disk MUSIC's http://chemool.fc2web.com/diary/d0708.html#2007/08/24 Which leads us to this page: http://d.hatena.ne.jp/WizardOfPSG/20060117 With decent res scans of MCMLXC. Hurray! "Tama" is an early nickname for Shinji Hosoe, which is confirmed in his own blog. |

Ahhh great, a nice bit of investigation there Gigablah never would have found that stuff myself.

The guy that sent you those rips -- does he own physical copies himself? Would be great to get scans and verification on this stuff.

It is confirmed here http://www.j99.net/sb.cgi?eid=177 that Midori Maki is an alias of Takayuki Aihara.
Also, the "missing track" on GENERATE is a data track. It contains the folders CG, GAME, MOVIE, MUSIC, PHOTO, SOUND, SYNERGY, TEXT, TOOL. Unfortunately most of these tracks I cannot even open (like the photos, even though the format is .jpg). Well, this was the pre-Win95 era and I'm rather clueless how to evaluate the information inside these folders. I'm pretty sure it's stuff for your NEC PC-98. There are even some Final Fantasy arrangements in there but it's stored in FMP/PMD music files. Last edited by Teioh; Jan 1, 2010 at 06:11 AM. |

nice, that clears a few of my queries up.
yeah, it must be a game. i'm not sure why you're unable to open the files... you may have some joy asking on the hcs64 forums, the guys there know quite a lot about this sort of thing... usually. no guarantee though.
