Although Shinobu Nagata was still credited for "Event BGM" in Animal Crossing, given that Kazumi Totaka is known to have composed some of the new event themes for the localization[4] it remains unclear if Nagata was responsible for the other new themes.

Despite her work reappearing in Doubutsu no Mori e+, Nagata did not appear in the credits.
- "Reset Surveillance Center" (composition)[nb 1]
- "Spring Blossoms" (composition, arranged by Kazumi Totaka) [nb 2]
In Welcome amiibo[edit]
Nagata is listed in the credits for Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo but not the original New Leaf, meaning she composed new music for either the campground, Animal Crossing Puzzle League, or both.

Nagata was credited for the following tracks on the official soundtrack release for New Horizons:[5]
- "Tournament (Joining)"
- "Rescue Service"
Nagata was also credited for the following tracks on the second soundtrack:[6]

Notes[edit]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Nagata was also credited for the Rescue Service theme in New Horizons, an arrangement of Resetti's theme.
- ↑ Spring Blossoms is a cover of the Cherry Blossom Festival theme from Doubutsu no Mori and Doubutsu no Mori+, which was changed for the international release. The theme was used as an invalid song in Doubutsu no Mori e+, and its aircheck, virtually identical to the original, debuted as a secret song in Animal Crossing: Wild World.
