Generally speaking, we don't consider conductors as performers (I even saw edits rejected for that), so they need other credits for being given VGMdb artist entries.

That being said, I see little reason for exclusion, frankly. I'd say there is much more musical substance in conducting than voice acting in drama & radio CDs. The only downside is the amount of albums to fix. If you care about the ordering of artists, you would have to peel off all the assigned 70 piece orchestra members to insert the conductor, in the worst case

Ordering of artists is something I'll definitely have to look into. It should be simple enough to fix. Also, expansion of artist roles.

In this case, I've created this entry because Philip Chu performed the tenor solo in track 2-3 as credited on SEMO.

However, I have no objection if we start to credit conductors as performers in the future.

Yay, so I'll stop being picky with ordering for now.

Oh, as I suspected. Perhaps I should post this topic not in this thread, because I was less talking about Philip Chu in particular.
