According to | According to Sakurada Meijin, a former [[Hudson Soft]] employee, ''Donkey Kong no Ongaku Asobi''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> main reason for cancelation was that it featured many songs originally written by [[wikipedia:Seiko Matsuda|Seiko Matsuda]], a popular Japanese singer. Nintendo lost the rights to these songs (or possibly never had them to begin with) before the game's scheduled release, and it would have been difficult to import new music over them. Furthermore, there were very few songs in the game at all, with the limited storage capacity of early Famicom games not being able to hold much data. It isn't entirely clear why a copy of the game was in Hudson's offices to begin with, but it is said that Nintendo let them use the prototype as a reference for creating a different game.<ref>https://famicoms.net/blog-entry-2236.html (Japanese)</ref> | ||
