This entry, as well as the following volumes, has inaccurate credits for vocal performers.

This is mostly due to Bushiroad BS about these bands: bands's names are more like placeholders while in reality for studio recordings individuals do not perform any instruments, only providing vocals. The only exception being Morfonica's Ayasa who is also credited as the violonist peformer.

Here, it is "worse" if I could say, as (most of time) only the "main vocalists" are involved, hence they are the only ones to appear on these cover collections.

I've checked the wikipedia page and it appears they have everything right except in booklets' credits, it is written like that:
Vocal: "character name" (CV: "seiyuu name")

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/BanG_D...83%90%E3%83%A0

So, should we still keep bands' names (they are written on back covers anyway) and remove seiyuu not involved in these recordings? To me it would be a good compromise even if clearly these bands are just for advertisment purpose.

There's at least one booklet that specifically credits the other members for chorus/backing vocals: https://vgmdb.net/db/covers.php?do=view&cover=302553

If these covers are different and only a single vocalist is specifically credited, I'd agree with removing everyone who is not involved.

This is not the first case of something like this. KONAMI's Band Meshi♪ series is the same: https://vgmdb.net/album/94578

The artist of the tracks are listed as the fictional band "Blanc Bunny Bandit" (i.e. on https://mora.jp/package/43000002/GFCA461/), while in reality vocals in specific tracks were performed by specific voice actors.
I've added that info in the format:
Code:
Blanc Bunny Bandit [Yokaze Tsuyuri (CV: Tomori Kusunoki)]
Blanc Bunny Bandit [Arisa Kurokawa (CV: Saki Yasui)]
Blanc Bunny Bandit [Monaka Hyakutake (CV: Takako Tanaka)]
etc.
I think the same could be done here.

Sorry for my late reply... but thanks for your answer nstz.

I also had a look at other entries and they stand correct; all seiyuu are involved in either chorus or a few lines. All bands albums and singles are correct.

Only exception are these cover albums where mostly main band vocalist is involved.

I'll make change later then. Will keep band name as stated on back cover but only keep seiyuu involved as per booklet credits.
