neothe0ne: the track artist doesn't say anything about the role the particular artist had on the song.

warp: are you saying track artist = release artist?>
2010-05-17 13741, 2010

neothe0ne: if there is no track artist specified on the cover, yes.
2010-05-17 13745, 2010

Exactly. We bravely assume there's a reason for putting it into a release by some artist, and if there's no information to the contrary, release artist = track artist.
warp, i already made hawke_'s exact point to fatih then nikki, they disagreed.

hawke_: It's a lot different since that's, again, soundtrack.
2010-05-17 13701, 2010

The only difference being that the last track in my referenced album happens to have a performer rather than merely a composer
2010-05-17 13715, 2010
neothe0ne
srotta: i don't see how it's different.

neothe0ne
you can't just segregate music releases into Soundtracks and non-soundtracks
2010-05-17 13752, 2010
srotta
And still that's exactly what we're doing.

neothe0ne
if its an instrumental track, generally the composer becomes the artist, especially if its not a karaoke track on a single - am I wrong?
2010-05-17 13759, 2010
srotta
As well as classical and non-classical.
2010-05-17 13709, 2010

And bunch of other groupings which have slightly different rules.

if i Am wrong, show me examples

srotta: vgmdb classifies it as “Original Soundtrack”...

i cant comment on that having not watched the anime, but that really shouldnt even be relevant to the issue here.

and says “Single release from Akiko Hasegawa. "LEVEL∞" is the second ending theme of Slap-up Party: Arad Senki, anime adaptation of Dungeon Fighter Online.”

which suggests that even if it were relevant that it’s a sound track, it is a soundtrack.
2010-05-17 13736, 2010
hawke_
srotta: What difference does it make that it’s a soundtrack anyway?

srotta: Soundtrack Style says: “For pre-existing non-classical music, Artist should contain the performers.”
2010-05-17 13701, 2010
srotta
hawke_: Soundtracks generally have music attributed to composer. Unless it's pop.
2010-05-17 13723, 2010
hawke_
and Akiko Hasegawa is not the performer on the last track
2010-05-17 13740, 2010
hawke_
Leaving only the composer

srotta: what would you do with a Cd that is half pop, half soundtrack then.
2010-05-17 13758, 2010
neothe0ne
you're not going to change them all to vocalists, or all to composer, are you?>

srotta: How is this not a soundtrack?
2010-05-17 13747, 2010
srotta
hawke_: I don't know, the release type says it's single, so I'm going by that.

As I said earlier, I don't know Japanese so I won't edit or vote on those releases. I try to stay away from those since it always ends up with Great Japanese Exception, which I deeply disagree with. 8)
2010-05-17 13754, 2010
neothe0ne
srotta: there is no japanese exception here.
2010-05-17 13727, 2010

(there is no japanese exception at all)

As far as I can tell, it’s a single of “inspired by” music, which happens to also include at least one actual track from the soundtrack.
