Portal:Songs/complete

This is an attempt at making a "complete" list of songs by Susumu Hirasawa, covering both projects he lead and collaborations with various degrees of involvement. Songs whose lyrics have still to be added can be seen here.

List

 * + indicates songs that Susumu Hirasawa had no performing role on, but are still included for the sake of completion.
 * † indicates tracks that incorporate leitmotifs from elsewhere in the soundtrack while still being their own entities.
 * ? indicates songs where writing credit is either uncertain or unknown.
 * The majority of Mandrake songs are filed as being from 1977 for ease of browsing, as that was the year that the lineup on the bulk of the Unreleased Materials tracks formed. Many of them were written before or on that year.
 * Years listed for Fuko Project songs are estimates based on existing knowledge of how they were produced.


 * I This song was only ever performed live, with no known studio recordings existing. As such, there are no attributed writers to it. While songs from Hirasawa's solo career could be safely attributed to him, the P-Model member(s)/other involved parties responsible can not be determined.
 * II "Adeste Fideles", both in its original and extended forms, has been attributed to multiple writers over the years. Wade was the first to publish it, and the only one acknowledged in the Ashu-on [Sound Subspecies] in the Solar System liner notes, which list the writer as unknown.
 * III To-Ma-Do-I does not give any writing credits in its sleeve. Kya→, the act's "parent band", credits its songs to all of its members, so it is likely that the songs from this mini-album were written by both members of 3F=C.
 * IV "Bufoo" was introduced by Hirasawa on stage as a Varichef Homium song. Due to a lack of information on that band, it is unknown how their creative process worked. As such, the song is listed as being by the members who were part of Hirasawa's solo live band.
 * V This project's songs were only ever performed live twice, with no known studio recordings existing. Since Music & Words' material seems to have been intended for an Akiro Kamio Arishima solo album, he is the most likely writer of it all. Due to a lack of recordings in the open internet, it can not be ascertained if these songs have lyrics or not. Given the noted stylistic semblances to concurrent P-Model material, there is a possibility that Takashi Kokubo and Susumu Hirasawa, the other members of Music & Words, were involved in the writing process.
 * VI Given Konishi's role in creating the debayashi "11th Fact", and his predecessors both being responsible for the band's opening SEs, he's the most likely writer behind this uncredited track.
 * VII Since "God Seiko the Queen" was only released privately, being unavailable in the open internet, as well as lack of detail in existing descriptions, it is not known if the song is made in the style of the Sex Pistols or if it incorporates elements from "God Save the Queen". If the latter is the case, then writing credit would be shared between Hirasawa and the members of the Sex Pistols (Steve Jones, Paul Cook, Glen Matlock and John Lydon).
 * VIII Although Haldeman was the single person to write the music of "Here Comes Santa Claus", the song was conceived by its lyricist, Gene Autry. In the Ashu-on [Sound Subspecies] in the Solar System liner notes, Autry & Haldeman receive equal credit for the music (with Autry listed first).
 * IX The Ashu-on [Sound Subspecies] in the Solar System liner notes, credit for "Joy to the World" is solely attributed to George Frideric Handel. The music's rendition was made by Lowell Mason, who attributed it as "arranged from Handel"; a resemblance to two distinct Handel pieces has been noted, but dismissed by Handel scholars as coincidental.
 * X Hirasawa only handled instrumentation and arrangements on his commercial work; the lyrics of "Shiseido Men's Mousse" were written by a copyrighter hired by the company for this ad campaign.
 * XI Since it is an unidentified piece of music, it is unknown if the track in question is a Hirasawa original or an arrangement of a pre-existing song, like previous CG movies on the Photon series were paired with.
