this song ヤんなっちゃう (Yannacchau) has conflicting metadata sources for the artist and im unsure which to use;

  1. mv material, official social media and the website uses リリぴ×DECO*27×tepe and the (feat. リリぴ) marker in the title

  2. but streaming services list the artist as the Project 愛上あむ (Amu Aigami), the in-game character, normally without a (feat.) marker

from my understanding, Amu Aigami is actually LiLiPi singing. this comes from the artist comment on the website

original:
"ゲーム内の楽曲の歌唱を担当させていただけると知った瞬間はとても嬉しくて、つい「やったー!」と声を出してしまいました!
超絶かまってちゃんのあむちゃんになりきって、世界で1番のお姫様になった気持ちで歌わせていただきました!
ぜひ、ゲームと共に楽しんで聞いていただければ嬉しいです!"

machine translation:
"The moment I found out that I would be in charge of singing the songs in the game, I was so happy that I couldn't help but exclaim, "Yay!" I became Amu-chan from Super Kamatte-chan and sang with the feeling of being the number one princess in the world! We hope you enjoy listening to it while playing the game!"

im unsure whether to use a (CV) or (VO) marker because none are used in official circumstances, however it seems wrong to exclude it per the rc rule,

When a fictional character is credited as the singer of a song, their credit is to be formatted in a Character (CV: Voice Actor) or Character (VO: Voice Actor) format.
so i believe these are the options for artist field

  1. Project 愛上あむ (VO: リリぴ)*
    Project Amu Aigami (VO: LiLiPi)
  2. alternatively,
    リリぴ×DECO*27×tepe
    LiLiPi x DECO*27 x tepe
  3. or a combined version,
    愛上あむ (VO: リリぴ) & DECO*27 × tepe
    Amu Aigami (VO: LiLiPi) & DECO*27 x tepe
which would be correct in accordance with the rc rule below? if any
If multiple metadata options are available, priority should be given to the option which is most easily recognisable and traceable back to the original song or source. Official romanisations and translations are preferred for romanised fields so long as they are easily found and commonly recognised.

im unsure of the usage of VO vs. CV, but i believe VO is correct because Amu doesnt have a voice actor in game. LiLiPi is the voice of her for the song only; in game Amu does not have a formal voice actor
CV (Character Voice) is used when song is sung in character by the character's voice actor. VO (Voice Over) is used when a song is sung in character by someone other than the character's voice actor.

Firstly, the game itself doesn't even have dub, which in itself already makes it questionable whether or not we should use CV/VO marker. If NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSE is any indicator, it's that you might not even have to trouble yourself with said marker at all. Since it's a song for a specific character (Amu Aigami), you can put them to Tags instead.

Secondly, it's also stated that primary sources should be used as references, and streaming services should be avoided due to them not fully reflecting actual artist's intention. You already had an abundance of official medias, so go for that instead.

If I were you, I'd go for the 2nd option for the Artist field right off the bat.
