Hey, GuiltyInnocence. This was a pretty difficult draft, and you did a pretty good job with it. One thing though, is that sometimes there are roles that aren't in our database yet, and when you encounter those, you can post them in the role request thread, and they will be added:

https://vgmdb.net/forums/showthread.php?t=23536

It looks like you found several of them with this album. Can you sort through the credits, figure out which roles are missing, and then request them in the thread above? After they are added, I would like to ask you to please resubmit this draft with the new roles added, and all the credits in the correct order.

BTW, It is fine to submit the same draft for the Limited and Regular editions here, but you shouldn't include any of the credits related to the video for the regular edition, since it has no dvd. I think this would include the Live Staff and Live Shooting Staff.

Thanks.

Got it. Will revise them soon.

I have a question about roles. Is it recommended to always request adding a role (if the role notation in the album credits does not exist), or is it OK to just use an existing alias of the role? It seems like under most circumstance, new roles are just added as alias of existing ones.

Will use seperate drafts in the revision.

BTW, is there any easy ways to convert Japanese human names into Romaji? For filling the "Notes" column with credits. Especially in the case when most of the names appears and already processed in the draft.

Thanks a lot.

Yeah, you should always request the new roles even when they are aliases so that we can display them accurately.

When the roles are in japanese, you should use those when linking, but use the english name for the role in the notes. For this album, most of the roles are in english, but there are a few that should be in japanese: 作詞, 作曲, 編曲, 歌.

We have a tool in the VGMdb discord that you can use to convert the kanji names into their VGMdb-verified names. There are some other tools too for parsing the link text and notes from some shops like yodobashi or itunes.
