Compared to this cover also done by luz, this recording is in a different key.
The vocal inflections also sound slightly different than the niconico upload, which leads me to believe that this is a new recording.

faerimagic

This recording is not to be confused with luz's "Cherry Hunt (tWoluz edition)" due to the fact that they use different instrumentals.

(the tWoluz version has soft piano notes at ~0:25, whereas this track does not)

So i saw that cheesum did a cover of Honey Moon Deux Trois on soundcloud 3 years ago and i don't know if i should add it o not. He sings it himself

ayuumii

The roles can be customized though. Set said person as composer and vocalist and that should fix it. I'd keep the description note anyway, since you can't set them as a support for vocalist only.

I'm not sure if similar matters have been discussed here or at VocaDB. The composer of this song also serves as one of the singers providing chorus. Since it's impossible to add him/her twice for a single entry (setting him/her as a support artist also sounds inappropriate), I wonder how this can be solved by taking measures other than clarifying in the entry's description.

There are two entry for this song. I will leave it to the moderators to see which one they decide to pull down. Below is the link for the other entry.

The version released as a single doesn't feature Dr R's rap vocals

opticalpopcorn

For future reference, his tag on niconico is "lulu(歌い手)"

MiaDickerson

Can someone please add R.I.P? it’s his new song

I finally got around to transcribing all of the lyrics from the official album booklet. I copied all of the symbols too, so that's why there are some stars, slashes, semicolons, etc.

my favorite song by Neru is The Lost one's Weeping
mainly because of all the great Utaite covers

Amazon labels SPACE SHOWER MUSIC as this album's label, though this may be in error.

faerimagic

I just realized that the vocal-less tracks sound a little different than off vocals that Osamurai-san provided.
In the ones in the CD, it seems the guitar itself takes on the main parts whereas in the off vocals, the main guitar is missing altogether.

Should I switch the CD guitar tracks to "cover", or should they stay as "instrumentals"?

@SpeedybakaP wouldn't be able to cover one his songs with feeling depressed

SpeedybakaP

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

MiaDickerson

wait.. is it just me or does her picture make her look like a Vocaloid/UTAUloid?

Cineva

This is different from https://utaitedb.net/S/21312 ?

It seems that UtaiteDB needs to be upgraded as well.

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

@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

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<

stephieku

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. 🤔

Nefere

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.

same here

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