Before you make a lot of edits, I don't think this album qualifies for the new category. I've updated the in-menu help to describe the categories a little more clearly. Live action visual arts are:

Quote:
Music from certain live-action works that include storytelling with stylized or abstract costumed characters.
I didn't intend for every Japanese movie or TV show to be file here; this category is mainly for Tokusetsu-like media. Most of the albums you submit tend to fall under scope Category 3 (fills the discography of a composer or arranger) or Category 2: Manga (live action spin-offs from manga series.) Both of those should be submitted with no category at present. I will have to rely on your judgement in many cases, because nobody else here has heard of any of these shows or movies.

Note: this is still a little experimental, and open to making changes.

Fair enough. I saw it and thought it meant live-action as in actual people but I don't have any problems with changing it back to the discography one.

Currently few members make album pages of Japanese live-action movies and live-action TV drama series. I also sometimes do, but make those of a manga/anime/game-based spin-off or those of a certain artist discography. I probably haven't made those of Tokusatsu and Sentai.
If it is decided that only albums of Tokusatsu-like works should be the category of 'Live Action Visual Art', do Tokusatsu and Sentai albums go into the product of 'Live Action' and albums of Japanese live-action movies and live-action TV drama series go into the product of 'Other' with the category of 'Artist Dsicography'?

Based on feedback, there are now 3 new categories: Live Action, Tokusatsu/Puppetry, and Multimedia Franchise.

This should be easier to understand, and have been given unique colors. I will add similar new categories to products soon.
