Alvin's Cover is the Best Cover of Monster i've heard ever!!

KIRA has been hiding his voice from us this entire time!!

@ayuumii I changed a title to 4 full-width Japanese spaces for now - I did it only because the song was "unclickable" and there was no way to check the song page in normal way.

I searched for information about the album as well, with no luck. There's only 100 CDs released which makes harder to find an owner of the album.

ayuumii

I can't seem to find any info on what the title of this song is. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough... For now it'll just be an empty space

SpeedybakaP

A wonderful person and an inspiration to us all. Rest In Peace...

stephieku

We do not support any illegal downloads. When we have links to legal downloads, we will add them in!

SatouT

can i download this album?

mbal5c

album from my favorite group, I can't wait......

I usually remove "Entries to QC" tags when one of the staff members reviews the entries, it's just a reminder to double check entries later, even if they're likely complete.

revoltingly

the " entries to QC" can be removed now

Ruinan_Ding

great singer. please update

Necessity4Fun

Edit, because Steph has ninja'd me: That's the information I got too when I asked them about it on the discord server~

I was also told to stop commenting on entries like this because it makes it sounds like I'm impersonating the staff which was not my intention, I just type very formally when I'm dealing with things I consider important ahaha... So just to clarify, not part of staff just a very passionate user trying to help out >w<

It's okay to add the Vocaloid entry if you want. We recently have the option to directly link the Vocadb entry, so it's not required to add the Vocaloid originals like the past. We won't delete vocaloid entries as long as they're connected to relevant entry on the site.

Necessity4Fun

@SpeedybakaP It's not a question of preference, it just strikes me as something that'd confuse more than help at the moment, there's just no need for such a page to exist right now. It would be helpful if you linked the voca.db article in the external links instead, for the sake of keeping organization >w<

And no problem, it's no inconvenience it's just something we try to maintain to a minimum since it is not the purpose of this website. Thanks for understanding o/

PS: this is the way to reply to comments, but you can mention the person so that they get a notification, iirc

SpeedybakaP

I’m not sure I can reply to comments, so I’ll just answer here, Necessity4Fun. I’m very sorry about the inconvenience, and I will delete the page if you want. :)

Why add this song to utaite.db when you can link it to the Voca.db entry? I thought this was something we were not supposed to do? (There are not a bunch of covers either, so it's not a cover jointer yet)

core

Well I think it's a good idea that Utaites have their own PV for their covers. I mostly mean that songs with a simple PV. So.. is there any Utaite who want a PV here? You can see my works in my profile and also my VocaDB profile. 🤔

The name of current site owner is Josh, and that's all what I found out about him.

I had more luck with artist that we know he owned the site years ago.
* The artist participated in collaboration to work on Rin song (#sm19048637). The description contains a mylist and twitter link, but not the site.
* The mylist mentioned in the description was thankfully archived (2012 version). It confirms that they was the owner in that time.
* The twitter account is already taken and empty in top of that - they propably closed the account. Good that even if all their tweets are deleted, the tweets of people they talked with are not. And all of them are in Japanese. The last conversation was around the end of 2012.

My guess is the artist deleted all accounts in 2013-2015 and the website domain was sold to someone else.

faerimagic

The artist's site is still active (https://www.romillion.com/), however, I am unsure if the current owner is the same person involved in the utaite/Vocaloid scene.

• The Wayback Machine has a 2011 snapshot that uses Japanese characters. However, there is no usage of Japanese characters on the current site, or any related social media.
• The related Etsy account is based in Chicago, Illinois, not Japan. (Of course, they may have moved to Illinois, but confirmation is needed.)

Note to self: add album

faerimagic

@Mister_Tsar Seems like they're no longer being offered. I'd recommend removing the link then. If the mp3s/instrumentals become available in the future, we can always add it in again.

Mister_Tsar

Hmm, producer's website is unavailable for me.

faerimagic

@Mister_Tsar Yeah, since Muzie no longer works, I've removed the Muzie links, as well as untagged "free" and "karaoke available".

Mister_Tsar

Should the "free" tag be removed since Muzie stopped its free download service?

faerimagic

Ah, thank you! I'll update the entry to reflect that.

(edit: Musicbrainz link now directs to the correct Sasaki Takayuki.)

kan0nica

MusicBrainz is referring to this musician who has the same name: http://www5f.biglobe.ne.jp/~suttaka/thecomingsoon.member.html
I think VGMdb's should be the correct Takayuki for this entry.

faerimagic

There seems to be a discrepancy between his birthdate on MusicBrainz and VGMdb.

There are a number of possibilities:
- Both entries are for the correct artist, but MusicBrainz's DOB is wrong.
- Both entries are for the correct artist, but VGMdb's DOB is wrong.
- Both entries are for the correct artist, but both DOBs are wrong.
- Only one entry is correct, the other is for an entirely different Sasaki Takayuki.
- Neither of them are for the correct artist.

The URL is supposed to be https, but it was still http. I changed that, and now it's working again.

core

same here

ayuumii

I can't access it either, and I'm on PC. Maybe it doesn't exist?

Mister_Tsar

I'm currently on mobile and I can't access the "Help" page. It just shows a blank box and the background.
On VocaDB it works fine.

bubbletea

I made this account just for this song.

stephieku

Rejection seems to be a Japanese doujin group that sells stuff at M3, so they're probably legitimate and got permission from him. https://resistance-rejection.tumblr.com/

Mister_Tsar

Hey, guys!
There is this one weird track I found on Google Play... https://play.google.com/store/music/album?id=Blgvq3on67ixn5zfyut536iivse
Is this a real cover? It's very questionable.
The original song is "Sinner" by OkameP feat. Megurine Luka.

stephieku

Linked videos are different recordings from the album versions.

jakegaslamp

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

Sounds great! Thanks for your hard work!

stephieku

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

Artists with two entries:
&bull; minato / Tolie
&bull; 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?
