SBDM-0001: Gensou Shoujo Wars Kou Original Sound Track

[Mortavia]

Okay, a couple questions:

1. Why is it Gensou Shoujo Wars Kou and not Gensou Shoujo Taisen Kou? We're leaving everything in romaji except for one word, it seems kind of weird.

2. Did this have a re-release at C83?

Also, this game looks really fun, I'm not part of the whole Touhou fever thing but on its own merit this seems like a game I would play. I think I'll have to give the game and the music a try, ZUN's compositions can really hit the spot sometimes.

It says "Gensou Shoujo Wars Kou" on the inside of the booklet. I wouldn't say no to adding a romaji line with "Taisen" though.

Perhaps of note is that the Super Robot Taisen games, which this game is a parody of, also pretty consistently use "Super Robot Wars" when the names appear in English in albums, credits, and so forth.

I don't know about this album specifically (maybe they did, or maybe they just had extra copies and continued to sell them past C79), but at C83 they released the soundtrack to the sequel, Gensou Shoujo Wars You. We don't have that album in the database yet.

Oh, I must have only paid attention to 幻想少女大戦 and not really noticed which character came after for the C83 release. It probably wasn't 紅, that would make sense.

And I see what you mean about using Wars instead of Taisen, I just thought we always used Taisen anyway. A search for Super Robot gave me only five results with "Super Robot Wars" in the main title, the rest are Super Robot Taisen, so I guess I just assumed. I'm not against using Wars though, since there's a reason.
