Yea, this is understandable. If companies can't reach an agreement, then there simply is no deal.
The entry for "Sajin no kanata he" from JASRAC:
No. | 著作者/出版者 | 識別 | 契約 | 所属団体 | 特記 |

1 | REVO | 作詞 | | | |
2 | 梶浦 由記 | 作詞 | | JASRAC | |
3 | REVO | 作曲 | | | |

5 | セブンシーズミュージック | 出版者 | | JASRAC | |
6 | スペースクラフト音楽出版 株式会社 | 出版者 | | JASRAC | |
Seven Seas Music (spot#5) is KING RECORDS publishing, and it has JASRAC listed under "affiliated organization". Same for SpaceCraft Publishing (spot#6).
Kajiura has JASRAC listed under "affiliated organization".
Revo's spot is empty. (I don't know how up to date this could be, or whether JASRAC would even list another organization there if he was affiliated with another one - would have to look into it.)
I guess if you're knowledgable I might as well try to understand more too. This might not be exactly what you/we were talking about before, but a new specific question.
So in a situation like this, where we have two different composers & writers, and two different publishers listed.
If you want to PERFORM the song fully live in a concert (without using any of the original recording), do the PUBLISHERS listed here have much to say? Are they owed anything? Or would those publishers only matter for a specific recording submitted?
If we then have said new LIVE PERFORMANCE recorded, would all the previous publishers still have to be dealt with when it comes to RELEASING that NEW RECORDING?
