On a similar note, all the songs in the first VJAMix have their original titles, except Beyond the Earth which is Beyond the Earth (for VJAMix). This is because I used a different cut than the IIDX/Pop'n version, which uses different material. The cut was made specifically for VJAMix and included material not present in the usual cut of the song, therefore I felt the subtitle was again warranted. In this case I am going by examples such as "L'amour et la liberte (DDR version)" where the song was rearranged.
Otherwise, I agree. I've been using the CD title as such since I started, other than (again) in VJAMix, where if we didn't use per-author ones all the files would just say "Beatmania IIDX". To be honest, I don't think step authors necessarily get enough credit in the current conventions, but that's what I go by for competitions since it's what people expect.
Are ITG entries meant to have CD titles? |
I would argue that in both of the first two examples you gave your (for) tags are still somewhat inappropriate because a seperate cut doesn't make it a seperate song. It's still called "Mei," and still "Beyond the Earth," and not "Mei (for OSC4)."
It's all about first impressions.
In the case of ITG, if I were to make a file for it (god forbid) I would probably just make a 1x1 transparent png file. ITG doesn't have cdtitles and isn't really meant to.
