Authorship and composition, read through MAGICAL: Junko Ohashi no Sekai III.
“I LOVE YOU SO” is cataloged here as a written musical work, separate from any particular performance, recording or physical issue. The documented credits separate the words by Junko Ohashi from the music by Ken Sato. Keeping these roles explicit makes it possible to follow the authors even when a performer’s name is the most prominent name on a release.
The explicit work relationship leads to the Atlas song entry “I LOVE YOU SO”, associated with Junko Ohashi’s 1984 album “MAGICAL: Junko Ohashi no Sekai III”. The work entry preserves the authorship relationship, while the song essay examines the musical context. Neither the album’s year nor a later reissue date should automatically be read as a separately verified composition date.
The distinction matters whenever a song is re-recorded, rearranged or issued again: the documented writers can remain the same while the performance and release change. This entry makes no claim that an unlinked recording is equivalent.
