Well, I'm not good explaining myself, so I'll be direct.
We know about that rule disallowing us from put Vocaloid names in Artist, but~
sasakure.UK feat. Hatsune Miku - *Hello,Planet.
That map was recently ranked and nobody argued against that, the reason is that in the video was stated Hatsune Miku included as an artist.
I have nothing against the map and I won't mess farther than this.
But as a community that has enforced and putting the rules at the top, these kind of things doesn't make sense at all, so this rule about Vocaloid must change to admit these special cases and avoid some kind of big problems in the future.
I highly suggest rewriting the rule about Vocaloid songs in two ways:Nothing more to explain here, is easy to understand.
- Vocaloid songs must follow the following format:"[Composer name] feat. [Vocaloid name]" for Artist. This way people is able to know which Vocaloid is singing as well to credit the composer of that song.
All Vocaloid fans and listeners should know that songs like Melt and Black Rock Shooter state "supercell (or ryo) feat. Hatsune Miku" as Artist, so we should respect that kind of songs. Some well-known games, as Taiko no Tatsujin, states in these kind of songs "YM feat. GUMI" (for Juumensou in the arcade version), or in some cases just "feat. Hatsune Miku" (for Melt in the 3rd Nintendo DS game), when the music used in this games is not the original one of the composer.
- Vocaloid names must be used as an Artist if they're stated in an official source. If this is not the case, you must use the composer as the Artist.
Let the discussion begin~
Dake brought up a discussion about this about a year ago. The map in question now is a recently unranked osu!mania map here.
My proposed change is similar to Dake's.
- Vocaloids can be featured within the artist section if the producer/composer includes it via official sources. This ensures that we enforce metadata being accurate in all cases.
