Several foreign PRO variants (ASCAP / GEMA / PRS / MLC) list alternate ISWCs or incomplete writer information due to older publisher-forwarded imports. These variants do not represent distinct works and exist only for archival reconciliation. All international entries will align to TONO’s authoritative ISWC T-000.609.6554 once cross-society synchronization completes.
The ASCAP entry (Work ID 501820711) currently displays a temporary ISWC inherited from earlier GEMA imports. The JMO-submitted ASCAP entry (Work ID 933179362) uses the verified TONO writer chain and will align to the authoritative ISWC T-000.609.6554 once ASCAP’s synchronization cycle updates.
This MusicBrainz entry reflects the authoritative writer chain, ISWC, and verified metadata for the composition.
