Current rule is as follows:

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. For live action, credit the voice actor only.
Reword suggestion is as follows:

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. For live action, credit the voice actor only. If a song is attributed to a fictional character and their voice actor is credited as the singer, it may also be formatted as such.
open to rewording for easier understanding

+1 on this imo seems like a good way to deal with CV markers

can you provide some specific cases this would apply?

`If a song is attributed to a fictional character` -> how do you determine this? the character is not part of the metadata

it could be case of the CV doing a song as solo artist without relation to the character

Literally any western movie where they credit a song sung in character to the actor, which is what brought this proposal up in the first place.

Generally context clues help, especially watching the character sing it.

There are cases where they bring in a big-name artist/actor to cameo/star as a character in a movie and have them perform a song as that character, but the song is still credited to the person and not the character (for example: will.i.am in Madagascar 2, Jack Black in the recent Super Mario Movie, Beyoncé in the Lion King remake, Idina Menzel in Frozen)

While I personally think we should keep to the original source metadata whenever possible, I do agree with including CV/VO as an optional choice when it's heavily implied

edit: added some more examples and fixed some wording

When the song is heavily implied to be sung by the character while it's officially credited to the artist instead, it's a good idea to make it as optional choice. Whichever works best!

Or simply allow it to dropped to the tags instead if it raises concern.

would this affect when CV or VO is to be used? there's a footnote specifying when to use one of them, but you aren't proposing to change it or merge it here

asking this cuz idk how it could affect this mod beatmapsets/1843213/discussion/-/generalAll#/3591127

It wouldn't change anything, the actor credit remains the same as current rules.

my concern is this needs more wording to indicate when it is appropriate to use. Make it more clear.

like you said `Generally context clues help, especially watching the character sing it.` this is a helpful clause to add

some ppl might start confusing solo artist vs a character song by CV, like the case:

Waki Azumi in Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear, she sing a song as solo artist but also voiced a character in the anime. But the song is not related to that character. It would be wrong to add CV in this case.

this is a pretty frequent case for anime, most common one being Kito Akari probably

Current wording should be okay as is, it specifically states it must be attributed to a character, thus being sung in character.

Just remove the For live action, credit the voice actor only. caviat entirely, its unecessary and counterintuitive.

I don’t really understand how a character being in live action completely circumvents this rule, they’re still playing/representing a fictional character regardless of how they’re presented.

I think this would apply for something like this

It would make Auli’i Cravalho and Moana (CV: Auli’i Cravalho) both acceptable
