Why is no one adding Honeyworks songs? What is going on here? I've added two and I was about to add a third one...

stephieku

I don't usually bother with it, but since this is a re-upload by the original creator, i think putting the original upload date in the description might be better.

faerimagic

I can't access the deleted entries, but I'm pretty sure the original upload was listed at some point. Should this entry reference that original upload date or will the current reupload date be fine?

mag

Maaany thanks

faerimagic

Gotcha, I'll merge them for you! I guess I should've added her username as an alias. Woops! I'll be sure to do that, too.

mag

Well, so I've just found out that Kasuka actually DOES already exist in the DB. Could these entries be merged together?

stephieku

Also, please don't add illegal uploads (esp album-only). I've caught a few, but please flag any ones you see. Reprints of publicly available MVs (if not already uploaded by the creator) are in a grey area, but we don't tolerate blatant piracy.

faerimagic

This list was getting too long. Besides, it's better to have sources listed in the artist description so more people can access and see it.

Instead, this thread will be a list of artists that still need their sources or a source to be translated.

faerimagic

Sorry for the delay! I've added all the new ones to the list.

If anyone has a physical copy of this CD, can they check if 大和 is credited as guitar for all the songs? He's credited as "Guitar solo" for track 1 and 2 on the website, but I'm not sure if buzzG takes care of guitar in other parts.

faerimagic

Sounds great! Thanks for your hard work!

We're testing a new feature on utaitedb!

Now, when you add an artist to an album/song, you can Customize the name. Currently, you can type in a name/alias to appear on the string instead of the artist's main name on their entry. The Custom name will appear on the album/song entries, but when you hover over the name, and you will be able to see the artist's main name, aliases, and artist type as usual. Clicking on the link will still lead to the artist's entry.

Example: http://utaitedb.net/Al/9499. ササノマリイ appears instead of ねこぼーろ

This will be helpful in cases where artists change their name and artists who use different names for different projects/careers. For artists that currently have two entries, I will discuss with the other staff members on what entries to merge. Please let me know what artists would benefit from this change, I'll put them on the list below.

Artists Affected:
• Nekobolo / sasanomaly
• 40mP / Iname Tooru
• CIVILIAN / Lyu:Lyu
• IenourademanbougashinderuP / Takahashi You
• Nanou / Koyama Hidekazu
• hachi / Yonezu Kenshi
• Pusu / Zips
• Lisa Nakamura / Chakoro
• Yuyoyuppe / DJ'TEKINA//SOMETHING
• Sako Tomohisa / ShounenT

Artists with two entries:
• minato / Tolie
• kemu / Horie Shouta

Updates goes here!

Hello everyone!
Sorry for my long absence, I'm going through a long backlog of entry reports and entries to clean up!
It is likely we will be discontinuing the blog and any news updates will be posted in this Discussions section.

Thanks for all your contributions!

Things to fix:
- Inconsistencies on arrangers. When can put an arranger on support?
---> See Yonezu Kenshi's songs.

Ruinan_Ding

Ruinan_Ding

mag

This was the song that got me into Vocaloid

mag

Definitely my favorite cover from him

faerimagic

@shikendon Oh, wow, nice catch! I've removed the tag now.

shikendon

This song shouldn't have 'vocaloid original' tag. But I can't remove others' tag.

Ruinan_Ding

ahh, and, she is good too

Ruinan_Ding

Ruinan_Ding

@faerimagic Sorry for the late response, I haven't been on UtaiteDB in a while. But no, he didn't, and I was not aware of that rule. I'll take down the links; sorry for the trouble.

faerimagic

@ayuumii Hi there! I was just wondering, did DECO*27 make these YouTube songs available somewhere? Unless there is a publicly available official upload, reprints of album-exclusive songs are not permitted on UtaiteDB.

I'm unsure if this is the correct version that appears in Amatsuki's DiVE!!.

stephieku

I've been cleaning up the tags and I've been reorganizing them to make them more useful.
I wanted to address some issues and clarify some categories. I'm unsure what is useful or not, so I would appreciate some suggestions.

General issues:
- I deleted many tags that were copied from VocaDB that I think are unappropriate for UtaiteDB (such as "cover", "Non-English Lyrics", since a majority of songs fall under this category). I changed the "Japanese" tag into "Japanese cover" for use on non-Japanese songs covered in Japanese. I also deleted many Vocaloid voicebank related tags. If you want to include more information on the Vocaloid or UTAU, please put it in the description.
- Tags can use spaces, there is no need to use underscores for word separation.
- Try to avoid redundant tags. Merge or report any redundant tags. This is especially a problem for compound words with variations in spaces, dashes, underscores.

Here is a brief description of how I currently organize the tags. Please let me know if there's any categories you would like to add or categories you think should be redefined, renamed, etc.

Categories:
- Genres: Genres a song belongs to. Music genres are a lower priority on UtaiteDB compared to VocaDB, but if you would like to add genre tags, please be careful about redundant tags. Most of the redundant tags I removed were from this category
- Arrangement type: For rearrangements, what type of arrangement.
- Artist status: Gives more information on the artist's current activity.
- Animation: PV animation style. Might remove this category.
- Copyrights: Franchises such as anime, games, TV shows, movies that the song originates from. For videos removed due to copyright claims, go to the Song Status category.
- Editor notes: Mostly tags that indicate missing information or explain missing information. This sections is to help editors locate incomplete or messy entries. It is also good to identify entries where the classifications are unknown (like remix vs. cover. vs. original).
- Event: Related to concerts, competitions, themed events (e.g. nostalgic Vocaloid songs collab), etc. Youtube chorus battles have their own section.
- Jobs: Tags that explain the positions/roles of people under Other Artists and people who belong to multiple artist types/roles (e.g. an utaite who also illustrates for PVs will have an "illustrator" tag). I'm considering changing the name of this category.
- Languages: Languages utaite sing in and language a song is in (excluding Japanese).
- Lyrics: Types of lyrics available for a song.
- Release types: Provides extra information on the release type and what the release comes with.
- Series: G**roups songs/albums that belong to a song or album series.
- **Site types: Indicates sites artists frequently upload to.
- Song status: Availability of the song and other aspects of the song.
- Sources: Where the song is from, more song type information.
- Staff use: These are for the mods and admins to double check certain entries for deletion or quality checking.
- Themes: content information for songs. I deleted a lot of general tags like "love" and "depression", but if people want them back, I'll put them back in. I kept tags like "Christmas" and content warning type tags.
- View count milestones: If the video has reached a certain number of views.
- Vocalists: Tags describing the vocalist. Majority of tags should relate to utaite, such as type of utaite or voice types. Specific tags for voicebanks aren't welcome (e.g. female Vocaloid).
- YouTube battles: Youtube chorus battles go here
- Unsorted: Categories to be determined. Not sure where to put "serifu".

Once again, please give suggestions if you can!

faerimagic

Okay, so I guess that means Comiket 84, then.

riipah

I think it means "Summer Comiket", meaning Comiket in August.

faerimagic

Is 夏コミ an event?

faerimagic

This song is pretty much 2525遊園地, but Usa's version has slightly changed lyrics (?) and the album version was released first.

faerimagic

According to Utaite Wiki, the 9th track differs depending on which publisher (Tower Records / Animate) but I need a source to confirm this.

Yamishiro

I ordered this album yesterday. Can´t wait for it to arrive. (OuO)/

riipah

I think it's because there's a few songs with utaite here. It's not wrong to have the album on both sites, if the album has both Vocaloid and utaite.

fitanimal

Why is this under Utaite? This is clearly a Vocaloid and Debutante 2-7 are under Vocadb

Thanks for your hard work here and on vocadb.net ^^
