Which is appropriate, because ''The Black Parade'' is a concept album about someone coming to terms with their impending death. The last song on the album, "Famous Last Words," is a more straightforward example.

* Music/HiroyukiSawano uses this to an incredibly frustrating extent for ''Manga/AttackOnTitan''. Some tracks have naming schemes such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP3-op5wsko "進撃 gt20130218 巨人"]], which effectively translates to: "Attack, primary instrumentation, date of production/composition/completion, Titan."

What stage of production is listed in the track titles can only be assumed, as the dates given generally precede the first airing of the season the track is used in by a matter of months.
