As the template states it might be best to get authorized permission from the author of the song. However, I believe most situations about reprints are about people uploading the official version to their own channel. So I'm sure you can upload a cover or a MMD video as long as it doesn't involve using the content of the official video, which has been uploaded to the authors channel.

For example the song/PV, "SILENCE", has been reported and removed numerous times. But a PV on Nico and various covers on YouTube remain. So it isn't these formats the author has an issue with it is the official video that is the problem.

I can detail the template a bit more to dispel some confusion. I've edited the template to state "Official song / pv", which is usually the biggest concern. Thanks for the response. I'm aware that people often upload videos from Nico onto YouTube, but I'm not one of them. To me that's like taking one's video and uploading it from your own account, which can be interpreted as "Oh, this is MY video," which can always lead to a messy circumstance.

The MMD vid I'm working on features three characters from Attack on Titan, though, so for some this may feel a bit weird. But I fail to see what harm I'm causing, all things considered.
