For websites that went kaput, you might get lucky with Archive dot org.

In fact, thanks to the reference from the folks at Freedink, with the help of Archive dot org I managed to view and retrieve some (not all) of the midis used in Dink Smallwood, and listen to some other midis created by the same Japanese composer.

Calbee's Dream was used in Dink Smallwood. Dreaming Dwarf (yumenok.mid) was also used in the game but it wasn't archived for retrieval.
Mid-1990s to mid-2000s was the golden era of midi music. They were the precursors to polyphonic ringtones on mobile phones. People put midi music on their fansites, Geocities websites etc.
Then Geocities was culled by a silly female CEO of Yahoo, the smartphone era arrived with the first iPhone, social media sites caught on... and people gradually stopped caring about midi music.
