Nominations are still open because we'll be having a battle some time after I finish having a good sulk in the corner about how a SMB2 track came in last.

"Dozens of nominations" is an overstatement, but it's had at least five total in the BSC (Truth and CotGI also). I don't recall your specific nom ever showing up, though. I was under the impression VS was one of Sakimoto's more high profile soundtracks, at least around these parts. I'd also go with no.

Journey of Dreams has been out for two months (soundtrack for one). I'm pretty iffy on Opoona too, seeing as that's only been out for three months and hasn't even come out in the U.S. yet. I'm thinking no on Opoona until "some time" after it crosses the Pacific and giving Journey of Dreams at least another month or two.

Now that I think about it, I haven't really heard all that much discussion anywhere about Journey of Dreams's music.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
