I dont know but let other people giving more opinions about this and to determine it. as I thought, so it should be using artist, the album cover, or screenshot of the video clip from this song as bg? whats happening really
I would say, something with at least a bit of relevance. I'm not at all saying it can't be "an anime girl". It can be any wallpaper of the band, or just a nice photo of them, but it can also be a completely random anime/vn/whatever art that is irrelevant, but has a relevant theme at least (to the title or lyrics).

So, say why don't competent, i see all the text but i just found some vague assumptions and random words, u are sayng that are a problem here, but u don't ever show any example of how mapper can fix that, u just pop and "go find other"
If you see the lyrics, how BG u think that fits with the song, any example ?, if u just wanted to "say", u just pop because u want, not because there's a real problem in BG
Saying that a background is not relevant to the song or the band nor the theme is not "random words and vague assumptions". It's objectively true. Surono's view is rather subjective because "atmosphere" of a song is different for everyone. Artist, lyrics and song is same for everyone, that's why I'm talking about these subjects when explaining the issue. I think that it's not my obligation to list the mapper all the possible backgrounds. If they asked, I'd be willing to help them search for some, but they may have a different taste for the concrete backgrounds. I'm not popping it only because the background is irrelevant, but also because discussion about it was skipped.
@Net0: Ranking criteria is the first, but not the only requirement that a map has to pass to be rankable. What was ranked is not my problem, I was not called to check it and it's not my job to do so. You should never follow ranked maps to justify errors in qualified or pending maps.
Only text bellow is really importantFrom now on, I would like if this discussion could continue by addressing only the issues brought up. My concern again is:
- Background is not relevant to the band
- Background is not relevant to the song
- Background is not relevant to the lyrics or the theme of the song
Suggested solutions (sorted by priority):
- (1) Use a background directly related to the song
- (2) If none good exists, use a background that is related to the band
- (3) If none good exists, use an image from random source that is thematically relevant
- (4) Last resort, if none of above exist, choose a completely random background because that means any relevance can't be satisfied (usually will apply only to non-thematic instrumentals)
1# Examples: None seem to be very good, skipping
2# Examples: Example 1 Example 2 Example 3If you don't like them then search for more, if that doesn't work, go for #3 and search for something let's say about love, a couple or whatever if you considered only the title. For 4#, I don't think you should get here with the amount of available images.
We should also get more input on the tags too, I think it was bubbled mid-discussion (not blaming Surono).
