I'll wrap this up with the Mizu no Kakera and Pikmin 2 tracks.

EDIT: And by "wrap this up," I mean "cover all remaining unclaimed tracks."

EDIT-EDIT:

Artist: Hajime Wakai, Kazumi Totaka
Album/Game Title: Pikmin 2 (Game Rip)
Track Title: Wistful Wild
Disc Number: 1
Track Number: 122
Catalog Number: none
Year: 2004
Additional Information: There are a few discrepancies on this one, but since the track was nominated by the person who ripped it, I've deferred to his information above. First, Joe Weiwel lists both Hajime Wakai and Kazumi Totaka as the composers, but GameFAQs and elsewhere only list Wakai as being in charge of "Music"; Totaka is the "Sound Director." Not sure about the semantics on that one. Track/disc numbers are also a bit iffy... the game rip entry at Cubed World breaks the rip up into disks, which would put Wistful Wild at [5.11]. And if you add up all the tracks to find its total place, it's actually in slot 121, not 122. So I'm not sure about that one either.

Artist: Tenmon
Album/Game Title: Mizu no Kakera: Once Summer of Islet-Origin (Game Rip)
Track Title: Summer Clouds
Disc Number: 1 (of 1)
Track Number: 7
Catalog Number: none
Year: 2004
Additional Information: I'm not sure if a disc number is appropriate, since the picture of the track list appears to come from an extras menu that's part of the game. However, since I included the track number, I figured that I couldn't leave it without a disc number. Also, the last of my three source links calls the composer "Mr. Tenmon," but it gives EVERYONE listed on that page either "Mr."or "Ms.," so I stripped it off, especially since another page for an unrelated album credited him as just "Tenmon."

I've just got enough time to do the JumpingFlash! one and mention something quirky about The Bouncer.

EDIT:

Artist: Takao Miratsu
Album/Game Title: JumpingFlash! 2 Original Game Soundtrack
Track Title: JF1-W2 Boss Scorpion Machine
Disc Number: 1 (of 1)
Track Number: 9
Catalog Number: ARCJ-36
Year: 1990
Additional Information: Disagreement on the spacing in the album title, strangely enough. The album cover seems to suggest "JumpingFlash! 2" to me. Nevertheless, Chudah's Corner (and a couple of other sites) say that it's "Jumping Flash!2," with no space between the exclamation point and numeral. And GMR has both spaces, making it "Jumping Flash! 2." Doesn't help that there are two different game covers, the Japanese without a space in "JumpingFlash" and the American with. This is what the research staff is here for, folks. Went with "JumpingFlash! 2" after consultation with Kaleb.

(scroll to bottom for second citation if you don't want to read the long story)

Also, the OST for The Bouncer seems to have undergone a re-release with a different company. This in itself isn't particularly noteworthy, and the policy in this situation is probably to credit the earlier release, providing the tracks are in fact the same. What is, noteworthy, however, is that the re-release was issued a whopping three DAYS after the first edition. Or so Chudah would have you believe:

The Bouncer Original Soundtrack (SSCX-10049~50), released March 23, 2001
The Bouncer Original Video Game Soundtrack (TPCD-0204-2), released March 26, 2001

This is certainly queer, wouldn't you say? But lo! The game becomes more interesting with the entry of GMR!

The Bouncer Original Soundtrack (SSCX-10049~50), released March 23, 2001
The Bouncer Original Video Game Soundtrack (US) (TPCD-0204-2), released January 1, 2000?!

A 447 day discrepancy? This is certainly a big issue. Perhaps Chudah's Corner is incorrect. Let's check the GameFAQs entry for the game, just to be sure.

The Bouncer, released on December 23, 2000.

Now, wait just a cotton pickin' minute. How could the soundtrack have been released almost an entire year before the game itself came out? Sure, advance releases are possible, but this is ridiculous. That date of 1/1/00 seems awfully suspicious, like someone added the entry but forgot to change the default release date. Let's check another site.

The Bouncer: Original Game Soundtrack (TPCD-0204-2), released on March 26, 2001

Guess the three-day delay is correct. And certainly plausible, given an overlooked piece of information. One of the releases is Japanese (March 23, DigiCube), and the other is American (as identified by the "(US)" in the name of the track in the GMR entry). It certainly COULD have been released three days later. Once again, this is what the research staff is here for, folks. Going around in circles to verify what the first page said is correct.

And so, without further exposition:

Artist: Noriko Matsueda, Takahito Eguchi
Album/Game Title: The Bouncer Original Soundtrack
Track Title: Sion Barzahd
Disc Number: 2 (of 2)
Track Number: 1
Catalog Number: SSCX-10049~50
Year: 2001
Additional Information: See lengthy discourse above.

Makes sense for me to fully research my own nomination. If need be I'll take another track to research, doesn't particularly matter which one.

I'm taking care of Half-Life 2 and Klonoa 2 as I own the soundtracks and have already performed extensive research on them. I'll likely take care of a few more since these two are basically free squares.
