General questions that I can't find the answer.....

Hi, I read many guides and FAQ to search for answers for these question in the forum, but I can't find them....
Here is the question.....

1) Some anime use character names as the artist name of the song instead of voice actor. So, should I put the character name on Artist name in my map? or the voice actor?

2) If I put character name (or voice actor name) on artist name, should I put voice actor name (or character name) in the tag?

3) There are 9 singers in my song, and they don't really have a "group" name, will it be too long if I list them all in artist name?

4) I read this post about how to submit my map after I changed artist on my map. It is a year old already. Also, when I use the Beatmap Submission System in the editor, the Full Submssion option said "-Changing the artiest or title of map.". Do osu! fixed the duplicate problem in these year? Should I still have to follow the step on that post?

5) In the information page, there is a Genre area. I see other anime song is grouped in Anime category and mine is Unspecified. How I can change it? I can't really find where to change this in the editor....

6) What is Kiai time? and what is the real purpose of it?

7) I read some guides said that Kiai time should be the same in all difficulties. But what if they don't fit certain difficulties? Should I still leave it there even it doesn't fit into the difficulties?

8) I have three different pictures for three difference difficulties, and it is using my normal's background picture on the information page on my map. How can I change it to the hard's background picture on the information page?


THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Questions 1-3: For these kind of songs most of the time i've seen is (Insert anime name here) Cast as Artist, dunno if that's your case, if it is also add each VA to tags.
4: Yes follow the setps on that post
5: Only BATs can change it, and they'll do so after ranking
6: Kiai time is when you see star fountains and notes start flashing, it's to give an extra coolness to your song, use it on choruses or the coolest part of the song.
7: If it's the same song, logic is the kiai will be the same, as the cool parts of the song wont change, other mappers have different perceptions of music and may have a different kiai from yours if they make a guest difficulty on your map.
8: Remove all your difficulties except the diff you want and remove all backgrounds and full submit, then resubmit the diff that has the image you want (full submit too), then add everything back in again and full submit, this is because the site recognizes the BG on the first difficulty you submit and uses it as a thumbnail, dont blame me if your thumbnail ends up breaking by doing this tho.

I don't know exactly how the thumbnail selection process works, but I find that the best bet if you want to have a certain BG become the thumbnail is to upload the song with just one difficulty and just that one BG, then add others later.

Just for future reference.

As akrolsmir said, the thumbnail is related to the map you submitted from, so submit the map while looking at the hard diff in the editor.

As for your artist problem, assuming it is the map in the graveyard, use "765PRO ALLSTARS - Jibun REST@RT" (assuming you can use the @ sign. At least make sure you have all the caps done correctly)

Thank you for all of you reply my question. Because of yours help, I can make few more

change in my song. Thank!
But I still not clear about the artist part.
And Yes, my song is Jibun REST@RT.
It is kind of different...then other idol master song in osu...
Most of them can fit with 765PRO ALLSTARS like this one...


And mine is........


Which is nine people names orz|||
Since not everyone in 765PRO ALLSTARS are singing the song I used in my map,
I can't put 765PRO ALLSTARS on mine....
So, if I put all of them down, it will be like this....

Haruka Amami,Miki Hoshii,Chihaya Kichiragi,Yayoi Takatsuki,Yukiho Hagiwara,Makoto
Kikuchi,Mami Hutami,Takana Shijou,Hibiki Ganaha
.
.
.
In this case, should I keep using the one I am using now, which is 765PRO(I made it up),
or I should use put everyone name like above?

Again, Thank you for answer these weird question!

Sakura
Various Artists - Jibun REST@RT wouldn't work? Although normally use the composer or the most important artist.

Various Artists - Jibun REST@RT....That is a good idea.
If I use this, should I put both characters name and voice actors name in the tag?
Sakura
The voice actors names should suffice if you do that, but as i said, isnt there a main artist among all artists or something?

I don't think there is a main artist in this song, since they all sing together from begin til the end.
Also, every singer have their own solo version of this song too....so, I might confuse some people if I only put a single singer.

But anyway, Thank again for quick reply and answer my weird questions >_<
Sakura
The Various Artists options should only be used as a last resort, so try to think up other possible options first

OK, Let me ask other people who watched this anime about that, they might able to give me better name, I think...

Aha, Should I use...."765PRO Cast"?
In the anime, 765PRO is the company that they are in, so do you think "765PRO Cast" sound better?
