Wordmarks
Hi! I noticed that the workmark(s) on the wiki feature various vocaloid and I was wondering if I may make additional ones. I need to practice some graphic design requests and I thought something small and quick like the wordmark would be a big help. Additionally, there are a couple notable vocaloid who aren't on a wordmark... but who get's added can be discussed if you like the idea. Best regards, 14:37,4/5/2015


 * Edit: I made a thread if you want to share opinions on it... I learned a bit more about how Wordmarks work on the wiki now so ignore my ignorance!  01:07,4/6/2015


 * I'll see the thread later. Damesukekun (talk) 01:29, April 9, 2015 (UTC)

delete pocaloid users songs
Could you delete all the song pages of songs by Ulises Montiel Cuevas? He has a bunch of songs on his channel where he clarifies he uses pocaloid. You can find them all just by searching his name in the wiki. EmbraceEvil (talk) 20:09, April 20, 2015 (UTC)EmbraceEvil

here is the pocaloid video. it's in the description. while he may not use it anymore, from Angel i understand as long as he keeps pocaloid on his channel his stuff has got to go

Flower translation
Hi Damesukekun, sorry to bother you. If you have time, could you translate this tweet regarding Flower's gender? It is a subject that is causing a lot of contention in the fandom.

Dizzyzebra (talk) 08:15, April 24, 2015 (UTC) However V Flower stressed pistil in the reply tweet so it's highly possible that V Flower is female. Damesukekun (talk) 13:08, April 25, 2015 (UTC)

Romaji Lyrics
Hello! Sorry to bother you. I didn't know whom to ask, so I came here ^^;

Can you help me with this, please?

Google romanized this---> 霧雨煙る9月の夜の駐車場から as " Kirisame kemuru 9 tsuki no yoru no chūshajō kara"  I think this is incorrect, but I can't understand her. What does she says at 2.07 ?

Also, I'm not sure if " ひらひら" is "hirahira" or "hira hira".

If there is more errors in romaji lyrics, can you fix them?

Thank you (^_^ ;)

Aone (talk)  01:45, June 7, 2015 (UTC)






 * Fixed. 9月 is ku-gatsu and ひらひら is hirahira. Damesukekun (talk) 03:57, June 7, 2015 (UTC)

English loan words and romaji
I think that it is more helpful to write down the romaji of the katakana instead of the original English word. For example, in "Kusari no Shoujo" "てすと" is sung, not "test", and in "Shuumatsu ga Yattekuru!" it's "きいぷ" and not "ki:p". The romaji is for people who want to sing the song, and "test" might throw someone off (even if it's in italics). —umbreon 126 05:38, June 16, 2015 (UTC)

Kyounosuke
Hi Damesukekun, sorry to bother you.

There's been some confusion regarding Kyonosuke's (Iroha's voice provider) gender. We are unsure whether he is transgender, what gender he identifies as, and how this relates to Iroha's classification. I think he talks about it on his blog, could you possibly find any statements that might clear up the issue?

http://ameblo.jp/tokyounosuke/

Many thanks, Dizzyzebra (talk) 11:10, June 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * He is a male person. He is not either a transgender or a crossdresser. He is a freelance singer and has a wide voice range, which led to his career as Iroha's voice provider. He states nothing about his gender on his blog, but it's because Japanese fans have no doubt that he is "he" and he feels no need to mention it. Maybe he doesn't even know the confusion among western fans. Damesukekun (talk) 13:38, June 20, 2015 (UTC)

English Title
Hello, Damesukekun. Can you translate this song's title, please? I found an English title ("Flame Princess") but it was translated by an unrecommended reprinter, and I didn't want to make a mistake again.

Also, can you translate the description too? I guess it says something about MEIKO's birthday but I'm not sure.

Thank you.

Hello!

Thanks for the warning about removing my comment and...

Translation Romaji
Yeah, I knew the romaji was a little wonky on this one, so I apologize. I was going to go back and listen through the song to try and fix some of the mistakes. I normally use a translation app to convert all the lyrics, but I didn't have my phone on hand so I went and used Translate (i.e. fatal mistake). I'll run through and see what needs to be fixed. Normally I don't use an app at all since Japanese isn't that difficult to read. ^ ^; OtterJiang (talk) 23:27, July 2, 2015 (UTC)

Re: about recent page protection
There was no counter productive editing warring on Xin Hua's page, I gave both Misteryeevee and Umbreon126 the go ahead to alter the information on Chinese Vocaloids as needed. So this was to slow down IP editing not user editing.

Please remove the block from the page. -- Bunai82 (talk) 17:25, July 4, 2015 (UTC)

About deleting song pages
If this is about OtterJiang's edits, then please just put a Template:MusicWIP notice at the top so that Someone else who has time can go through the pages and correct them. Deleting a completed page without a reason is not the best idea.

I'm going to restore them and do this but if there is an issue please state so in the forum or in the comments of the articles so I know what is going on. -- Bunai82 (talk) 14:16, July 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * I marked them myself and added that I will go through them later. And will comment to OtterJiang if she/he doesn't see your message first. -- Bunai82 (talk) 14:26, July 11, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Stop Making Japanese Pages

 * While I'm particularly irked this entire conversation has been going on without me knowing/being present, I do need to work on my Japanese a lot a bit more. I haven't been studying as much as I would've liked and thanks to the lack of sleep from yesterday I sort of just didn't care/didn't pay attention to what I was doing with the last one.
 * I'm not happy with how the page turned out and I apologize deeply for my mistakes, of which there were many (I was looking at all the corrections and basically dying inside). I have to agree that blocking over mis-reading kanji is a little overboard, and I am doing what I can to improve. I will happily listen to and talk about ways that I can be a better help.
 * And take it from me personally when I say I am NOT badge farming. There is literally no value in those badges, they just...sit there on your page, I mean, what good do they do anybody? I'm a little offended you would accuse me of that, but it's whatever, I guess it makes sense seeing as I'm editing a ton every day. But just know that is not the case, take it from me.
 * To prove it, I'm moving to a new account with a new name and new everything. No badges or whatever. Because again, they literally mean nothing, and it's pretty silly you'd accuse me of farming for little pixels that "look good" on my page.
 * Again, I apologize for not paying attention and not being as focused as I need to be, I will definitely work hard to improve on that, especially since it's bringing up this much concern. I don't want to give the Wiki a bad name and considering how Otaku feels about us I'd love to prove them wrong instead of making them feel even more justified. I will very carefully look at the Japanese now if I do decide to put up more pages, but I'll focus more on Chinese/Korean song pages for now, as well as English and Spanish.
 * Thanks,
 * OtterJiang (talk) 12:54, August 3, 2015 (UTC)OtterJiang
 * The reason I gave you a strong warning is you removed my previous messages without any responses. You didn't even bother to say "got it" or so. Anyway refrain from editing Japanese lyrics unless you really understand Japanese. Damesukekun (talk) 13:20, August 3, 2015 (UTC)
 * That can't be right, I know that I responded. Thanks for ignoring the rest of what I wrote though, really appreciate that. >_>' I plan on studying Japanese more and working on recognizing kanji and how to write certain words. Thanks again,
 * OtterJiang (talk) 16:51, August 3, 2015 (UTC)OtterJiang

Tried My Luck on a New Page
I decided to give the Japanese page another shot. Look at Smile For Me, and tell me if I missed any mistakes. I worked hard to make sure everything was in place and there weren't any mistranslations. I'm confident I did it right, but I would like you to look over it to make sure I did it well. :)

 * You did a fine translation, but please note we accept only official translations here. Try Vocaloid Lyrics Wiki.
 * Just one thing. づ in modern Japanese is pronounced the same as ず, so づ in romaji is zu, not dzu. Damesukekun (talk) 07:05, August 6, 2015 (UTC)

Romaji
Hello. If you have time, can you romanize the lyrics of Starlite★Lydian and check romaji lyrics of Target? (well, they are the official romaji lyrics but I want to be sure).

Thanks.

Aonekochan (talk) 22:39, August 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * Someone created the pages without even asking me first... I was going to romanize the lyrics of Starlite Lydian but I don't have a proper internet connection right now. :/ Aonekochan (talk) 19:50, August 22, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Japanese and Romaji Lyrics
I'm sorry I let that happen again, I should have checked it over again before finalizing the page. In my rush I screwed up again, and I apologize profusely for it. I don't recall making the Katakana mistake, though? Nijiiro Yuuki doesn't have any Katakana in it, so I'm not sure why you're telling me that here. Regardless, I'll have to watch for that. I seriously have no idea how I missed the "suru nda", I know that word >_>'

Again I apologize, and I'll have a family member look over my lyrics from now on, whenever I make a Japanese song again. Though you don't have to worry too much, I'll be turning my attention to Spanish and Korean soon. I think we could both use a break from Japanese song pages.

Followup  on Nijiiro Yuuki
I think it's worth noting that the changes you made are techinically incorrect. The kanji used were the same ones in the video, I watched it through and wrote them out, and listened to the pronunciation. So the kanji you replaced or corrected aren't incorrect, those are the lyrics in the video. You can take a look at the video and compare, but the lyrics I had originally written were straight from the video. The kanji you used isn't the same. Ensoka (talk) 18:08, August 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * First of all I am a native Japanese speaker living in Japan. If you watch the original video uploaded to YouTube, you'll understand you're wrong.
 * Don't forget to leave your signature on my talk page. Damesukekun (talk) 04:21, August 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * Went back and listened to it, you are right, I wasn't listening to the lyrics and I misheard, (the "tachimukau" did sound like "nekau" to me, that was my bad and partially the tuning's). I'll take care to listen closer and pay more attention to it later, again I apologize, didn't mean to accuse or offend. I will do my best to make sure I don't make those mistakes again.
 * Just know that I am not doing it intentionally, especially not trying to wreck the Wikia's reputation.
 * Thank you for being diligent enough to catch my mistakes and correct me, I honestly do appreciate it. Ensoka (talk) 00:41, August 18, 2015 (UTC)Ensoka

Re: Romaji
That song was taken from the Lyrics Wikia. I didn't write those lyrics, I just moved them from one Wikia to another. If you have a problem with the Romaji, talk to the person that made the song, not me. I assumed that being on the Lyrics Wikia it was correct, considering it's a Wikia connected to this one that cares about its image and not being some fan fodder. That was not my fault, so I would appreciate it if you didn't blame me for it. I make mistakes, yes, but I'm doing what I can to improve, and I thought it would be all right to take some middle ground and move some Japanese songs from the Lyrics Wikia to here.

That was not my fault, and it does not warrant a block. It may have been messed up, but it wasn't my fault this time. If it really bothers you so much, why don't you take the time to teach me, yourself? I would happily learn the things I need to know to make sure I don't make mistakes from you, so long as its an improvement. I don't want to make mistakes or willingly "sabotage" the Wikia, or whatever it is you think I'm trying to do.

I am trying to help, so if you would like to help me improve, that would be much more beneficial than pointing out mistakes all the time and threatening to block me. Thanks, Ensoka (talk) 14:21, August 23, 2015 (UTC)Ensoka
 * It was your fault on this wiki anyway. You didn't check the accuracy of the source. As you metioned on your own blog, you still have a long way to improve your Japanese listening and writing skills. If I'd teach you, I'll have to start from the very beginning and that's not my business. It'll be prudent to refrain from starting new pages until you attain enough listening and writing skills. Damesukekun (talk) 15:17, August 23, 2015 (UTC)


 * One would assume that if it were on the Lyrics Wikia, whose sole purpose is to write lyrics for VOCALOID songs, would have written the accurate lyrics, and since both Wikias copy and paste the songs onto each other's wikis, I'm somewhat surprised you think people would go and review. I'd fix the Korean from time to time on the Lyrics Wikia, but because there are so many people on top of Japanese I was certain a "quality check" wouldn't have been necessary.
 * And no, you wouldn't have to go back from the beginning if you did teach me, all I'd need is how to set up past/present/future tenses, configure certain verbs and sentence structure. I can speak Japanese fine, but there are hiccups with writing that are easily taught by someone who's so proficient in it, like yourself. Just saying.

Kohaku Otori help
There seems to be a list of characters in a sort of relationship with her on this web. And under that part, there's a little biography for Kohaku.

Do you mind helping us translate it so it could be put in her page?

Here is her website.

Thanks!

ALYS
Hi Damesukekun, sorry to bother you.

If you have time, would you mind translating a short question about ALYS? There has been some controversy surrounding her, and folks would like to ask CeVIO directly about her status, but CeVIO only speaks Japanese. This is the sort of thing English fans want to ask: 'Have you heard of ALYS? She wants to be a French CeVIO.' If it's possible to translate that sentence to Japanese so I could send them a message, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks! Dizzyzebra (talk) 17:21, August 29, 2015 (UTC)
 * Can you send an emil at damesukekun(at)live.jp and tell me your email address? I'll send you a translation via email. Damesukekun (talk) 22:48, August 29, 2015 (UTC)

More Kohaku stuff
Someone posted this chart thing on VO.

I'm unsure of what this is. Is it that she's having a regular VOCALOID4 release as well? Or something?

- Mistery Valencia Eevee Talk Page  00:21, September 3, 2015 (UTC)
 * Yamaha released a new media press on Sep.1. The chart is a part of the press. The topic is, the company is developing plug-ins for multiple non-Vocaloid voicebanks, and the voicebanks will be editable on Vocaloid interface with the plug-ins. The Vocaloid Unity-chan is not clearly mentioned in the press, but Yamaha implied the Unity-chan release as a Vocaloid product. Damesukekun (talk) 08:30, September 3, 2015 (UTC)

Romanization of 「を」
I was wondering, how exactly are we suppost to romanize the character を? I've seen it written as "wo" and "o", the VOCALOID software by default pronounces it as "o", but I've also heard native speakers pronounce it as "wo". I would like to know for sure to make romaji translyrics here more acruate and to better speak the language. I feel that you are the best person here to ask. - Meerkat (talk) 22:19, September 6, 2015 (UTC)
 * In modern Japanese を is pronounced the same as お, and Ministry of Education and Science supports "o" for を romanization. Yet を is pronounced as "wo" in some dialects and most Japanese speakers accept the pronunciation. I don't think the o/wo difference matters little for native speakers. It's your choice. Damesukekun (talk) 04:12, September 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah, thank you very much for clearing that up. - Meerkat (talk) 04:17, September 7, 2015 (UTC)
