Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia Mr. Verta. Thank you for clarifying that you in fact composed the score to Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legend The Movie. However, MISIA's song is still considered a "theme song" despite the fact that it only appears over the end credits. If it is still considered 主題歌 in Japan, it's a theme song in English, even if it is not an opening theme or played over the opening title. Referring to it as a "Closing Credits Song" is overly verbose and more or less confusing to the readers, especially when the film is not out yet to the public and it is not supported by the references we have.

Also, I would like to advise you per our conflict of interest policy that you should be careful about editing articles related to your work as a composer and music producer. It is generally discouraged for subjects of articles to actively participate in the writing of subjects they may have a vested interest in. Not that this has been the case, but this is just a fair heads up to some of our policies.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 13:04, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I have no particular idea how all this convoluted posting stuff is supposed to work, or where exactly I'm supposed to be answering this sort of thing, but bottom line: 1) Regarding your conflict of interest "heads-up," inasmuch as I am the single most qualified person in the known universe concerning the details of my life, I will likely continue to participate and correct any representations regarding such. I'd like to stress that I have a vested interest in my own life, and it is under the banner of this bias I intend to participate fully. 2) If your goal is clarity, I'd prefer an explanation how a misleading appellation like "Theme Song" isn't precisely inaccurate and misleading as it is neither a Theme, nor appears anywhere within the body of the picture at all. Not to take anything away from MISIA, but not only is her song no part of the movie in any way, it doesn't even have anything to do with the movie. It is a lot of things, but it is no way a theme song, nor representative of the musical content anywhere within the picture. To perpetuate some obscure Japanese corruption of the term does not clarify anything. Perhaps that sort of usage would best be reserved for the Japanese version of the page? Certainly amongst native-English speaking countries, there is no ambiguity about the definition of Theme Song, which in no way applies to the piece in question.
