I also am confused about why an album produced and released in Japan would include a track from a game released only in Japan.

Love the original arrangement of Wings That Don't Reach from the strategy guide CD, and the snippet sounds like that track except played live (just going by memory; there may be some tweaks, but it's basically the same). I am absolutely fine with this.

How ya doing, buddy?

Shame that both LAL tracks on drammatica aren't battle themes.

(this is an actual shame)

(where is my full-length LAL arrange album, Square)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I love the track from the site all the same don't get me wrong, but was the game successful enough to be memorable in Japan?

As you said:

I don't really see how the sales or notability of the game are relevant if the two tracks are among her favorite compositions.

I suppose you could count the concert CDs: More Friends ('06), Voices, ('06) and Distant Worlds ('07).

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
