Credits originally from 30CC-1349 and 30CC-1682 already submitted and on DB

Staff credits originally from the back cover

Helped with http://anison.info/data/source/4287.html to determine insert songs
@MiniYopExplorer

When adding credits from a Japanese album using the role system, you should use the exact Japanese characters for each role. For example, on this album:

音楽 instead of Music
脚本・構成 instead of Scriptwriter

If you find a role that is missing, you can request it in the Role Request Thread. (I needed to add a couple of roles from this album.)

@Secret Squirrel - I already know that, I use the original role (so not the Japanese one) because in the end, I already know that in my draft, the exact Japanese role will be replaced by the original one (so for example this will not be Music (音楽) but only Music...).

@MiniYopExplorer

I don't understand. How are you submitting them? If I create a new draft, and paste the following Japanese role into the box:

デザイン制作: John Smith

Then I get the Japanese name in the role:

Alternatively, you can edit them in the draft after the fact.

In fact, I create the draft with the original Japanese role and submit them normally with the original one. But when the submission is approuved, the draft is MODIFIED and the Japanese role is set to the English one.
For example:
I submit アナウンサー (announcer) and 解説者 (commentator).
But then the approuved draft will set these Japanese roles in English (not by me but by the staff...).

That's why I put directly the English role and not the original Japanese one...

Can you show me an example?

@MiniYopExplorer

If you hover over the role names in the artist list, you can see the Japanese alt text is there. The japanese roles are only visible directly if you set your `Title / Name Language` to "Original" in the user options.

@Secret Squirrel
Here it is: https://vgmdb.net/db/artists-assign.php?draftid=5118

For the Saint Seiya draft, I saw that it was commentator but also commentary. I've put commentator in replacement of commentary.

So sorry if it's not understandable, but my English is very bad...
