SSCX-10102: B-Boy Park 2000

[Myrkul]

Anyone could tell what this album (and single) are related to?

B-Boy Park is a Japanese hip hop festival that takes place every year in Tokyo.

So, not VGM-related. Perhaps still of interest, though, given DigiCube published them.

I don't think that should be the case.

Team Entertainment releases lots of non-vgm albums by non-vgm artists, but we don't put the non-vgm ones up just because it's on the same label. Same with Dog Ear Records, Avex Trax, etc..

Many labels publish non-vgm albums/artists as well as publishing vgm, but that doesn't mean we add everything they sell.

I am agree with Carl, for example we removed the few PCCB albums that have nothing to do with VGM.
It could have been interesting to keep them for information purposes since there are so few.
But after reflection, it's better like this.

Yeah, we should seriously remove these B-Boy Park albums. They just don't have anything to do with this site at all, really. I don't think that just because they're on a record label that produced VGM music means we should add it. Then why not also add everything that Toshiba EMI produced because they put out some singles like Eyes On Me and Passion - good luck with that, and that's not even the full list I bet.

These aren't music CDs for game or anime or even something closely related to the two.

or adding the 25,000+ nippon columbia albums made since 1977 =)

[Hellacia]

Sure, yeah. *validation*



I essentially repeat Carl's good point anyway.

Well my argument was more that DigiCube was a record label owned by a video game company and published almost entirely video game albums, so these are interesting as a historical anomaly. Not that somehow publishing any sort of VGM means that all of your albums are suddenly acceptable here, which I don't think anyone on the site thinks.

I really don't feel terribly strongly about this album's inclusion; though. I think I was trying to play more of a devil's advocate than anything else.
