Portal:Songs

This is an attempt at making a "basic" list of songs by Susumu Hirasawa, focusing on projects he lead; a "complete" list, including auxiliary collaborations with others, can be found here. 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 1976 for ease of browsing, as that was the first year that started with the lineup on the Unreleased Materials albums. The tracks on the albums proper either have uncertain recording dates or were recorded after 1976.
 * 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) responsible can not be determined.
 * II "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.
 * III 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.
 * IV 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.
 * V 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.
