[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 141 Voting/WEEK 142 Nominating

I just updated the second place track from Week 123, Maruan Series 1: Umihara Kawase Shun ~Second Edition~ (Game Rip) - BGM 3, with the appropriate track from the OST. There's no particular difference in sound quality, but this has an actual track name and specific composer, which is always nice.

(Motoyama is amazing)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Additional Notes: Isaac Shepard is a composer for Reflexive Entertainment, maker of downloadable games. This track is the in-game music for "Music Catch," one of their titles. The track also exists on "Swept Away," one of Shepard's independently released solo albums, which is where this was obtained. Shepard chose to feature his existing work in "Music Catch" rather than write a new piece. However, they're identical and this track's exposure is due to it being VGM more than anything else, which is why I feel it certainly qualifies for SotW.

Music Catch is a Flash game released in May of this year; the BGM track it uses was released on a 2005 album by the composer and so obviously wasn't written for the game. Is anyone else okay with the logic that, because the track is better known from the game it was used in rather than the original album it comes from, it should count for VGM? I'm not really buying it.

Incidentally, the guy has two PC game soundtracks and two Flash game soundtracks (the Flash games having one song each) under his belt, so the argument that he is a VGM composer and such his original works are fine might be applicable (hi zts).
