For track #2, I think the English translation should be "Basement" because in the game, there's no attic but only basement... correct me if I am wrong.

Well, I reversed the edit because the world translates to Attic or Loft. I don't know anything about the game, or whether this word sometimes has some other meanings. Still, it seems kind of iffy that it would be basement.

I changed a bunch of track titles, but I still think that some of the remaining ones are not quite correct, but I don't have enough experience with the game series.

I'm gonna try and sort this tracklist out. I've found the correct names for a few, but I'm gonna leave the rest for another time.
23 DJ K.K. 24 Forest Life 25 I Love You 26 Boat Song 2001 Got stuck on track 27. I can't seem to find its name. One source says "Only Checks Only" while the other says "K.K. Apocalypse". And nothing similar to those appears in the official strategy guide. BTW, your house has an attic from the very beginning. You only get the basement as the final renovation to your house. |

Doe these new names comes from the soundtest or is this a kind of in-game localization? That name for Track 23 differs quite a bit from "Eurobeat".

These tracks are from the official strategy guide released in English. It is possible to listen to music from the game within the game itself and track names appear in a menu to choose from. The strategy guide's listings definately match up with the ones in the game since these track names are required in order to listen to the tracks themselves.

I don't know why this one's called Animal Crossing. It's still どうぶつの森 like the other ones, which is Animal Forest. Should we change it?
Also, I'm wondering about the kanji for Manaka Tominaga's name. I can come up with 富永真央 on some searches, but I don't know if it's the same person (seems to be credited in some places for composing music for Nintendo, which would fit this). |

Animal Crossing is the official localized title (also in Japan, judging from this cover: http://vgmdb.net/album/3990)
Unless you're talking about putting Animal Forest in parenthesis in the product field. |

Oh okay, sometimes it's still hard to keep track of whether or not we're using names like that. I'll try to keep in mind that if it's an official title, not just a translated one or an American-only one, then it's good to use it.
At least I think I have that right. |

I'm wondering about the composer credits for this album, do they come from the booklet? The game credits Manaka Tominaga and Shiho Fujii with music, and Kazumi Totaka as the sound director: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjFhFWcm5cs#t=1m43s.
Nintendo has a vexing tendency not to credit all the people who wrote music specifically with music if they had other sound roles, like in Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Shigetoshi Gohara), Pokemon Stadium (Mitsuhiro Hikino and Masafumi Kawamura), New Super Mario Bros. (Koji Kondo), New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Kenta Nagata), etc. So, it wouldn't surprise me at all if Totaka in fact wrote music for this game, especially since he's composed for previous Animal Crossing games. I'm more curious if Shiho Fujii doesn't in fact have any music on this album. |

I would be shocked if Kazumi Totaki didn't work on any of this since he's credited on the movie soundtrack which reuses a lot of music from Wild World, same as this game.

This album also has some KK songs by Toru Minegishi from the original game. Should he also be credited? |

Don't know if this album actually has any music credits or not. Current credits are just taken from the game.
If either Totaka or Minegishi for sure has a composition (reprised or original to the game) on this album, then they can be added yeah. |

Totaka is the only one credited for "game music" on album/5720 and quite a few of those compositions also appear here. That's evidence enough for me, not sure about anyone else

I went ahead and added Minegishi and Totaka.
Totaka is in the game's credits, so I think it's fair to add him. Plus Title, 2:00 AM, and Pay Bus Passion are remasters of songs from Wild World that are confirmed to be his. Also, K.K. Bossa and Go K.K. Rider are confirmed Minegishi. Side note, where does the name "Pay Bus Passion" come from? The Japanese name is カッペイのバス (Kappei no Basu). Since Kappei = Kapp'n, I think something like "Kapp'n's Bus" would be more accurate... Last edited by Blob; Dec 17, 2019 at 06:39 PM. Reason: Edited for clarity |

Sounds like an official mistranslation. My favorite.

(also I have no idea about that "Pay Bus Passion" translation, but that's not a K.K. Slider song and I'm rather skeptical about that being an official translation at all) |

So shouldn't the K.K. Slider songs be translated into their official English translations then?

----- Also, it looks like Nintendo Dream vol. 182 had an interview with the sound team, where each composer talked about their specific work on the soundtrack. I haven't seen the issue myself, but it seems that Nookipedia gathered the specific info: -Kazumi Totaka: composed "First Trip to the City" and "Daytime in City Square" (also, "All Aboard the Bus!" quotes "Heavy Rotation -Hi-Fi Mix-" by Totaka from Wild World). -Shiho Fujii: quoting from the Wiki page: "In an interview in Volume 182 of Nintendo DREAM, Fujii explained that she composed "K.K. House", and rearranged the "Club Version" featured as a bonus on Machi e Ikō yo Doubutsu no Mori: Mori no Ongakkai and Animal Crossing: Your Favourite Songs - Original Soundtrack. She also composed other unidentified K.K. Slider songs and helped rearrange Kazumi Totaka's City theme for other times of day." -Manaka Tominaga: quoting from the Wiki page: "In an interview in Volume 182 of Nintendo DREAM, Kataoka explained that she composed the themes for the Marquee and other songs from buildings in the City, "K.K. Sonata" and one of the three invalid songs. She also arranged the track "Shrunk's Dream", featured as a bonus on Machi e Ikō yo Doubutsu no Mori: Mori no Ongakkai and Animal Crossing: Your Favourite Songs - Original Soundtrack." |

Animal Crossing: Wild World also had Asuka Hayazaki (credited as her maiden name Asuka Ohta) as Totaka's assistant, meaning she could have possibly worked on 02, 03, 04, 06, and 18. Totaka is confirmed for 01, 05, 07, 17, 19 as well. The reason I credited the bus theme (08) to him is because not only does it quote the two versions of Kapp'n's Song he wrote, but it also features Totaka's Song in-game, which isn't present on the CD. Some of the current titles like "Pay Bus Passion" are indeed junk and seem to be mistranslations. So here's a breakdown of each track with some better translations, and the composers: Quote:
Update: on the new New Horizons soundtrack, it was also confirmed Totaka composed "Wandering". Last edited by Chubby Bub; Jul 12, 2022 at 02:45 PM. |

Thanks for all of your findings, Chubby Bub. Perhaps we could update this album's info with all of the information if the staff is OK with it.
