METAL-ST: Juusou Koujo Metal Princess SOUND TRACKS

[Chris Porter]

Edit: Never mind. I see his name was already written in the notes section, but not in the composer field.

This NSFW site lists 田中 一郎 (Tanaka Ichiro) as the composer for this game. Is this a reliable source?

The fact that so little information was known about this one made me super keen to track down a copy. I payed a pretty penny for it, but I got a hold of one. I added images of the disc, case (front, back) and booklet (front, back, inside pages). There is no tray/back insert, nor Obi, just a picture disc, as is sometimes typical of 特典 soundtracks like this.

I added the track list and track times.

The BGM composer is ひろむ郷♂, which is almost certainly pronounced Gou Hiromu. The "male" symbol is part of his artist name.

I can't verify WACHA as being the arranger of the theme song. That information was added by someone else. I'll just leave it in the notes for now.

I found a Twitter account using ひろむ郷♂ that might be this composer, though I can't find any music related Tweets. Also, they haven't been active since April of 2018, so it might be hard to verify.

I also found that ひろむ郷♂ composed the music for a game called はっぴ〜ぶり〜でぃんぐ (Happy Breeding), which has a soundtrack disc that I've also located and have on order ( https://vgmdb.net/album/59448 ). And one more called 天使達の午後 SEASON 2001 (Tenshitachi no Gogo SEASON 2001), though I don't think that one has a soundtrack disc.

There are two composers named Ichiro Tanaka in the database that have the same kanji. By matching birth place and birth date with this Wikipedia entry ( https://bit.ly/2uwNqBn ), which lists the Metal Princess theme song as one of his works, I've verified that the composer of the theme song is this one: https://vgmdb.net/artist/27396

I'll take a listen to this soundtrack later today. Hopefully the music ends up being really good and worth the price I paid. If not, that's okay. I took one for the team and got the information on the site!

This is not correct. This song was composed by the writer Ichiro Tanaka: https://vndb.org/s4013

Thanks for the WACHA verification.

As for the other point, does that mean that the Wikipedia entry for that Ichiro Tanaka that I linked above incorrectly attribute the song to him?

And thank you for linking this album and Happy Breeding to Gou Hiromu's new artist page!

I don't actually see it on that Wikipedia page you linked. But yes, it would be incorrect.

That's odd. I can't find it now either. Maybe it was edited out or I just got my million tabs that were open confused when I was digging around trying to find information on this album. Either way, glad it's all sorted now. Thanks for the help!

It's happened to me many times. All the tabs start blurring together after a while.

Since this is a pretty rare one, I replaced all of my original photos with new scans.
