That should not be surprising at all. You're allowed to say your video was in the contest if it was entered - even if it was not a finalist. Not to mention the creators who claim to enter every contest in the list.

From what I hear it is a chronic problem with contests in general.

BTW, was "Why...? Can't...? I....?" actually in the contest, or was it just an exhibition video? Or maybe "Staff Favorite" ?

Off-topic but still somewhat relevant reply:

"STARS" is credited to TËЯRA -- not TËRRA -- in the song banner in DDR Party Collection, as well as in Pop N' Music 8.

I know this is a really pedantic change, but...well, you know, accuracy in data is always a good thing :)

...on that note, the title is actually "STARS☆☆☆ (2nd NAOKI's style)"...but...eh. Whatever.

I saw that on the info page, but I didn't know what the code for the flipped 'R' was. Now that you've given it to me, and the code for the stars, I've updated the page.

Illia Sadri: if you don't know about them, trythil is referring to the contest pages that I host (use the link in my sig).

It was in the special Staff Category, which did get voted on by the audience, but there wasn't any actual award.

Yeah it was basically bragging rights alone and a way to fill in time. The staff category came in a couple weeks before the con when i ran the contest as it stood and it was much shorter than expected.
