could some of you take a look at this edit http://musicbrainz.org/edit/22464754 and give a comment about how to go forward with that? It's about a label merge

Anyone know what "DO." in these credits mean: "(Humleridderne-Chief 1/DO.)" (it's "lyrics/music" - I'm thinking that it perhaps means that it's the same.)

2013-09-01 24420, 2013

did you want a romanization that would sound vaguely accurate if a non-Japanese speaker tried to sound it out based on English pronunciation rules?
2013-09-01 24419, 2013
Leftmost
Pfft. Not using Hepburn?
2013-09-01 24441, 2013
flamingspinach
hepburn is (nominally) the kind of romanization I just described
2013-09-01 24405, 2013
flamingspinach
personally I prefer a romanization scheme that's prioritized towards having a simple mapping between kana and latin digraphs
2013-09-01 24410, 2013
Leftmost
Fair enough. I tend to prefer Hepburn, since I'm more interested in something that's readable at a glance. I don't find that Kunrei-shiki or Nihon-shiki are that, for me.
2013-09-01 24439, 2013
flamingspinach
well, what do you mean by "readable"
2013-09-01 24438, 2013
Leftmost
I can interpret or pronounce it aloud without converting in my head.
2013-09-01 24448, 2013
flamingspinach
right
2013-09-01 24413, 2013
flamingspinach
I think you'll want to eventually get to a point where kana itself is the most readable form of japanese syllables
2013-09-01 24422, 2013

Oh, I'm there.

IMO if you still find hepburn more "readable" than other romanizations, you're thinking about japanese pronunciation in terms of English sounds rather than as points on the 五十音 table
2013-09-01 24421, 2013
Leftmost
I'm not sure that's true. I think differently about romanization and kana.
2013-09-01 24434, 2013
Leftmost
They're different scripts and use different paths.
2013-09-01 24439, 2013

so my primary association with ro-mazi is the fact that I use it to type japanese
2013-09-01 24440, 2013
flamingspinach
so maybe it's more closely related to kana in my mind (in that when I type ro-mazi kana appears on my screen)

part of the reason for that is that it makes for a better rhythm when typing
2013-09-01 24452, 2013
Leftmost
Fair enough. I'm certainly not trying to sell you on what I do. :)
I don't agree that finding hepburn easier to read means you're still thinking about the pronunciation in terms of another language. any romanisation system has to be learnt, no matter how good/bad a fit it is for a particular language, so any you're not familiar with will be harder to read than one you are familiar with.
2013-09-01 24447, 2013

I mean, it's not like english's spelling is particularly well suited to english words, but if you rewrite english to use a more straightforward spelling system, it takes quite a bit of getting used to :P
2013-09-01 24403, 2013
nikki
even though you're presumably still thinking of it in terms of english
