Bad guess; no matter how old, a song's a song.

No. EMI allowed them to use the tracks in order to promote sales of the CDs. Putting Butterfly or Dub-I-Dub on ANOTHER Dancemania album probably isn't going to push a ton of copies out the door.

I can thin of many non-bemani, non-ddr, non-dancemania related circumstances where this is not necessarily the case (putting old songs that were on one compilation CD on another compilation CD).
