Just bought three physical copies of Starfy 1-3 so I could finally own them legally. Hopefully if Starfy 6 becomes a thing, it'll revive the forum 
(End of sad rant… I think. 10 shoutbox messages, wow!)

15) Lobber's Villa City
16) Staff Roll 1
17) Staff Roll 2
18) Ending 1
19) Ending 2
20) Ending 3

47) Get Screen
48) File Selection
49) Picture Book
50) Moe's House

52) 3-Minute Dish Theme (the octopus Kigurumi theme for those who don't know)
53) Tone of Ocean Funky
54) The Starfy Dance
55) Game Over
56) Hidden Village of Koimaro City
57) Unused 3
58) Thousand Year Hill City
Perhaps this order indicates the actual order Tose programmed the songs into the game but I haven't looked into the game's code to confirm this yet. I get the impression perhaps Tose had ideas for events in the game and made the music before finalizing them.
A few theories:
For whatever reason the music for Flourishing Desert, Thousand Year Hill and Old Tower was created before the Lobber's Villa Stage music?
Tone of Ocean Shamisen being grouped with menus may suggest it might be the original background music for the Legendary Concert screen/sound test.
The unused song 2 was the original Old Tower stage music?
I'd love to hear if anybody else has any other interesting theories?
