Then what the duck are the off-vocals that I found in the aforementioned pages on this wiki? Are they or are they not official? If they're not official (they definitely are), why are they here? Who uploaded them? Who approved of them without proper research?

I'll show you proper research. I'll show you official sources. This Reddit post from ten months ago states that previously unreleased off-vocal B-Sides have been around for a good while now. I checked one of the listed websites to look out for, music.jp, to verify. Here's what shows up when I search for the 1st single. As you can see, the three songs show up,as well as their respective off-vocals. Again, as stated on this very Wiki, only Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru kai? is supposed to have its off-vocal included with the CD. That is true. The off-vocals for the other two are released separately. You can even verify thanks to a song preview.

Let's go beyond. Here's what shows up when I search for the second single. I'll spare you the repetition, I think you get the idea. And onto my main point and why I made this post in the first place, here's what shows up when I search for the 3rd single. Huh, would you look at that. The first two singles' B-Sides off-vocals are available on the Wiki, but not for the third single, despite all of them existing. Weird.

But now it's time to go even further beyond. Awaken the power is the only song in the CD of the same name to have an off-vocal, but the other two also exist. Off-vocals for the entire SUMMER VACATION (Duo-Trio) CD also exist. The off-vocal for Seinaru Hi no Inori is in its respective Wiki page despite not being included with the CD. The Believe again CD doesn't even have any off-vocal tracks included but here they all are.

You wanna know what's ducked? The TOKIMEKI Runners wiki page has the official off-vocal, yet I can't even find it in the websites suggested by the Reddit post. And what's more, the wiki page for Thank you, FRIENDS!! has the ducking Solo Mixes in it. Those are again not included with the CD, and again I can't find them through the suggested websites and even Google. I guess by your logic that means they're all unofficial and fake then. Time to take them down.

This thread is no longer about the whereabouts of the off-vocals for the rest of the HAPPY PARTY TRAIN CD. It's about the inconsistency of which songs get to have their off-vocals or not. Why is this the case?

edit: If you want further verification, a user on YouTube by the name of Lucy Penguin has uploaded every off-vocal that "doesn't exist" to her channel, albeit with altered pitch to evade YouTube's copyright detection system.
