- 1 ^ Hirasawa only made sound effects for the show, and only worked on it for about a year.[4]
- 2 ^ A jingle for a radio/TV/cassette recorder combo. Performed with Yasumi Tanaka. Broadcast 1980. Never officially released.
- 3 ^ Choshu's theme, Power Hall (パワーホール, Pawā Hōru), is credited to "Hanmyō Ibo" for writing, a play on the Japanese word for "beetle" picked by happenstance;[5] and "Z.Z.Z." for performance. Disowned by Hirasawa. Included on multiple subsequent wrestling over the decades, Hirasawa's recording only appears on King releases. Various artists have covered the song, including Ken Ishii. André's theme is attributed to E-Project.
- 4 ^ A collection of ten assorted commercial jingles for Shiseido, Tama-Plaza, Matsuzakaya/Kansai Yamamoto, Sony, Nestlé/Nescafé, Teijin and Marui. Six variations of a jingle for Matsuden Home Shopping by Teruo Nakano are also included. Released as a bonus for the first volume of the Moire Club newsletter.
- 5 ^ Writing and performance are credited to "Yoshio Fukurai", a tribute to Tomokichi Fukurai. Out of the album's eleven tracks, "Furukai" is only present on the title track.
- 6 ^ Aired once by KTV, who co-produced it with Toho, on 2 February 1987. Based on the 1974 Seiichi Morimura suspense novel of the same name. Hirasawa made its backing music, Shin'ichi Sako made the sound effects and the theme song was done by George Winston.[6]
- 7 ^ A month before the release of the first episode, Polydor released a "making of" tape titled Detonator Orgun 0, containing an interview with Hirasawa and clips of a press conference he participated with others in the anime's staff.
- 8 ^ Image mini-album commissioned by Hideki Kakinuma, author of the Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko series and Detonator Orgun writer.[7]
- 9 ^ The first installment of Human Vision Special, a now defunct series of television documentary specials produced annually by Hokkaido Television Broadcasting. It was originally broadcast on 29 April 1992 and later re-edited for home video release (released 25 January 1993 on VHS and LaserDisc). Hirasawa appears in the TV edit paddling a canoe. The soundtrack has never had an official standalone release: The title track was originally released on Root of Spirit -Essence of Hirasawa Solo Works- and Music for Movies - Great Movie Sounds of Susumu Hirasawa compilations, while the only release of the soundtrack proper is on Disc 11 of the Haldyn Dome box set, 20 years after the documentary aired.
- 10 ^ A "spectacle show" summer attraction at the Parque España in Shima. When it premiered, the soundtrack could be only bought from the park's gift shops.
- 11 ^ A short movie about the JR Shinjuku Station. The soundtrack has never had an official standalone release; the only kind of sound played on the short (which bears some resemblance to Syun's "Kun Mae #4" from 1996's Kun Mae on a Calculation) was originally released on Illegal Dumping (spelt "Densha", see "other releases"), it was later released with other twenty2product collaborations and remaining tracks on Disc 16 of the Haldyn Dome box set (spelt "densha").
- 12 ^ An Artdink PlayStation RPG. Hirasawa only composed and performed the opening theme: "The Man Who Knows the Stars" (星を知る者, Hoshi wo Shiru Mono). Originally released on From Hirasawa: Solo Songs Not on CD (see "other releases"), a live performance with a new arrangement is included on the Phonon 2553 Vision DVD, a studio recording of that (named "2010 version") is included with other miscellaneous tracks on Disc 16 of the Haldyn Dome box set.
- 13 ^ A looping presentation on alternative energy, part of the "Hirasawa Energy Works" project. The soundtrack has never had an official standalone release. The audio, recorded during a surge of "Surplus Power" (see "other releases") was originally released on Hirasawa's Phantom Notes website (named "LOOP The Sound Track β1"). It was later released with other twenty2product collaborations and remaining tracks on Disc 16 of the Haldyn Dome box set (named "loop").
- 14 ^ MMORPG developed by Sega originally for the Dreamcast, moved to the Xbox after the discontinuation of the former console, and ultimately cancelled.[8] The exact extent of Hirasawa's involvement is unknown; one track ("Nation-F") saw release on the Music For Movies～World of Susumu Hirasawa Soundtracks compilation.
- 15 ^ Hirasawa only composed and performed the boot jingle: "Eastern-boot". Two additional tracks were included on the AmigaOS 4.0 CD to showcase Hirasawa's music. The jingle was later released in the FAMIGA (Japanese Amiga community involved with Hirasawa) forums and with Hirasawa's Near Future Never Come e-book.
- 16 ^ The soundtrack has never had an official standalone release; the only kind of sound played on the short was originally released on Live Byakkoya – White Tiger Field Memorial Package (named "Bonus Spot"), it was later released with other twenty2product collaborations and remaining tracks on Disc 16 of the HALDYN DOME box set (named "IDN").
- 17 ^ The soundtrack has never had an official standalone release.
- 18 ^ Hirasawa only composed and performed the opening theme "Sign" and the ending theme "Sign-2", two different arrangements of the same song.
- 19 ^ Production on the film was halted for financial and artistic reasons following the death of director Satoshi Kon. Only a few scene/song combinations were set by Kon before his death.[9] Hirasawa made some music for the film.[10]
- 20 ^ A collection of various songs by Hirasawa and PEVO 1go from their careers that have been edited to serve as film score to be freely used by independent media and free-lance journalists delivering news via the Internet.
- 21 ^ Hirasawa only composed and performed the theme song: "Aria". While there have been soundtrack releases for the films, none of them include Hirasawa's work. "Aria" was originally a single-only release; it was then included in the Ash Crow compilation 5 years later, with the single CD being discontinued.[11]
- 22 ^ The Japanese home video release of the film includes a live performance of "Aria" from Hirasawa's "Phonon 2555" concert tour (when that tour's DVD was released, this same performance was included, but with alternative angles overlaid on top of the version on this DVD). Video of a public appearance made by Hirasawa, the trilogy's director and voice actors of the main characters to promote the third film, The Advent, was included in its Japanese home video release.
- 23 ^ Hirasawa only composed and performed the insert songs "Ashes" and "Ash Crow". Both were first released in Ash Crow (see "rearrangement albums").

Unidentified jingles
[edit]From 1983 to 1990, Hirasawa worked on various commercials. Unlike most of the soundtracks listed above, Hirasawa undertook these less out of artistic interest and more out of financial necessity. Outside of those included on Model House Works, most of these jingles have never been officially released and not precisely identified—by Hirasawa or his fanbase—but among his clients were companies like Denon, Honma Golf, Japan Tobacco, Kirin, Mazda, Mizuno, NTT, Pip Fujimoto (rearranging another musician's jingle[13]), Rado, Snow Brand Milk Products, Tsukuda, TV Asahi, Unicharm and Volvo.[4] After he acquired an Amiga, he took on a handful jobs making both music and CGI with Takara, Itoki and HTB.[4] Beyond broadcast work, he also contributed to installations like the Optic Fiber Clock (located on the Bellvia mall near Chino Station, plays a unique Hirasawa song centred on bird chirps once an hour 10 times a day; originally featured karakuri puppet birds that moved in sync with the chirps), Tokai Bank automated teller machines, a closing time tune for a Shinjuku cake shop and synthesizer sound effects to make a Korakuen Amusement Park rollercoaster scary.[4]
