Funny..... weeks ago i was trying to find where the hell i could see how much submissions i had done xD. Thank you. now i know. xD
I don't want to be an ass or sound like it, far from that, but at the time, I am pretty sure it was more then 3 rejections, HOWEVER, maybe some were not rejected, and where hidden for staff only eyes (i am just assuming that part actually).
I did expressed my concerns to "Efindjia" at the time, and.. a lot about certain things around regarding the submissions.
but...
to see if i got it correct:
You are trying to say that my use of word "favoritism" is wrong and might be confuses with "Trusted Editors/Staff Members" Power use?
I can' accept that, as many times I did engage what I felt not fair to be done on those "waters".
So, my bad if i used the wrong wording.

I am also trying to figure out ways, I just have too much questions to dial them all up.

I am kinda lost here. I don't know if I am getting you correctly.
You mean, if an artist has an entry already here, I can add on his vgmdb list anything he had done, if his/her name is attached to it?
help me on this, because i got bit confused.

I don't believe there is a lot of support for that here, but we should discuss it anyway.

I was not really proposing... I was stating, that is kinda of a reality now. Tokusatsu, is "mainly" live action. :/
To be honest, I don't complain with these asian live action soundtracks.
I might be overboard with my thinking, and I am sorry if I am thinking incorrectly:
VGMDB is game music database that got a wide scope, one of them, which i do enjoy trying to build up, are the japanese musicians works.
I also considered VGMDB to be a good source of japanese sited soundtrack music. Be it anime, game or live action. OF COURSE.... depending on the composers listed here.

For example, are we gonna add a composer with not ties to anime, or game, if only he does is live action?
We could add a composer entry, let say on live action movie, from original source as manga.
For example... what I asked yesterday.- John Lissaur (whatever is name) composed the american soundtrack of the second pokemon movie. Should he had a entry here?
I THINK; he should, if his name is attached to something else RELEVANT on the scope of the website.
BUT, he did japanese movie soundtrack. Should we add that here?

I am sorry if I have complicated questions. its not that I want to add that here, i am just pulling examples up to try have some more feedback understanding on it.

So, if I understood right, unless the artists are not composers or arrangers, it is not eligible album/single even though it is attached to a "franchise" (fro lack of the right word, that came first.)
