So, regardless of cumulative credits, an artist must compose a whole VGM album before he/she can be considered a VGM composer. That's a rather arbitrary rule.

If that were to be the case, that Osamu Kubota song I nominated and placed several months ago probably wouldn't be eligible anymore. He's contributed to at least 15 different games, but not an entire soundtrack to himself yet.
After considering it, I'm tempted to think yes on this issue. He isn't someone who has a career outside of game music and just happens to compose something in a game, like Ryuichi Sakamoto. You can see he's done doujin music along with his few credits, so it looks like he's aiming to become a video game musician, and that's where his popularity will come from if he continues. I guess what I'm saying is, there's a difference between someone who just dabbles in game music for a limited number of tracks, and someone devoted to game music who's still working their way up the ladder. One I'm okay with, and the other I'm not.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
