        kepstin: I don't think I agree with your comment that Latin-on-Japanese releases doesn't count because it's "stylized". I mean, we do have artist "P!nk" with album "M!ssundaztood" and if that's not stylized I don't know what is.
      • 2016-03-01 06125, 2016

      • kepstin
        I'm saying specifically that the *front cover* image shouldn't be used as a reference, because it's often stylized *differently* from the rest of the release
      • 2016-03-01 06102, 2016

      • kepstin
        in particular, it is often romanized when other places on the release use a aknji/kana name.
      • 2016-03-01 06126, 2016

      • hawke1
        kepstin: All else being equal I would take cover art over spine/disc art though.
      • 2016-03-01 06143, 2016

      • hawke1
        It is the most prominent/visible name.
      • 2016-03-01 06150, 2016

      • kepstin
        for japanese releases, doing the opposite generally will give more consistent/meaningful results
      • 2016-03-01 06108, 2016

      • hawke1
        Consistent I'll accept, but why more meaningful?
      • 2016-03-01 06110, 2016

      • kepstin
        spine is by far the most prominent when browsing releases, generally :)
      • 2016-03-01 06118, 2016

      • kepstin
        (in stores, etc)
      • 2016-03-01 06155, 2016

      • hawke1
        Seems unlikely given that it's covered by the obi. ;-)
      • 2016-03-01 06124, 2016

      • kepstin
        well, the side of the obi usually reproduces the spine almost exactly
      • 2016-03-01 06153, 2016

      • kepstin
        (although on releases by western artists, the obi sometimes has katakana while the spine has latin lettering, but that's a different issue :/ )

      • 2016-03-01 06152, 2016

      • jesus2099
        it’s removable, at home you will see the spine
      • 2016-03-01 06101, 2016

      • jesus2099
        the spine generally holds the intended artist name
      • 2016-03-01 06106, 2016

        and release nale
      • 2016-03-01 06108, 2016

        jesus2099: Why do you say it's "intended"? How do we know the intent?
      • 2016-03-01 06145, 2016

      • jesus2099
        some categories of japanese albums do have a genuine tracklist (usualy mix of english and japanese) and a stylised tracklist (usually english)
      • 2016-03-01 06101, 2016

      • jesus2099
        for instance, 80s hard rock albums
      • 2016-03-01 06113, 2016

      • jesus2099
        ASAI Kenichi (and his bands) albums, etc.

      • 2016-03-01 06111, 2016

      • jesus2099
        japanese pops (or dance or stuff like that) singers like HAMASAKI usually show a latin name but the intended artist name is the genuine (cf. main spine)
      • 2016-03-01 06136, 2016

      • jesus2099
        hawke1: intented because long lasting, the spine is solidely attached to the release, unlike the obi
      • 2016-03-01 06126, 2016

      • jesus2099
        for hard rock and rock releases with 2 tracklists, the outer pacjkage usually shows the english and the booklet and spine (and all websites) will show the genuine
      • 2016-03-01 06130, 2016

      • hawke1
        So is the cover, no?
      • 2016-03-01 06157, 2016

      • 2016-03-01 06121, 2016

      • jesus2099
        but there is a bipolar mindset in some japanese releases that IMO we should keep
