@Blayer

Hey, Blayer

Now that you are starting to submit more difficult artist drafts, I have a few pointers and guidelines:

1. Be careful to match the exact role name. You were pretty good here, but there were a few that I changed:

Instruments -> All Other Instruments
Recording Studio -> Recorded at (same for mixed and mastered)
Supervisor -> Supervisors

If you ever find a role that doesn't parse (it will show up in the warnings at the top), you can request it in the role request thread: https://vgmdb.net/forums/showthread....450#post114450

2. When linking up some of the more label-oriented roles, be sure to check each artist to make sure they seem like a good fit. On this album, I noticed Misa Kobayashi under special thanks was linked to https://vgmdb.net/artist/17877 on behalf of SMEJ, but her discography current only has performer roles, so it might just be someone with the same name since these are desk jobs. I could be wrong though, if you know of some connection she had to one of the animes on this album.

3. Finally, when you add the album staff, you should also add them to the notes, so that they can be searchable in their original format.

Otherwise, this is pretty good.

Thanks for the feedback!

I have a couple other submissions open with drafts as of right now, one of those being longer than the present one. I'll double-check the parameters you mentioned before it's sent for review.
