Glad to see that you're still in it though noname :3

Concerning romanized japanese titles, there's no rule atm (I don't recall bmah nor any other admin saying something about this), so I proposed the title that seems to be the most used. Danzai Yamaxanadu makes more sense because it's the correct romanized name of the original japanese name...
Thinking about this, I believe it should stay only for that reason. I leaved the proposition, but added a note.

I can image a rule concerning japanese titles : we should always use the original name, even if it's in japanese. Correct romanized title can be used if it's impossible to display japanese characters.
As for other language system (cyrillic, korean, chinese), original name is first, then a correct translated version if the characters cannot display.
For special characters (@, /, $, etc.), first the original name, then a modified version if the characters cannot display.

Also, not sure if this has been mentioned but some of the rock-style video game remixes are under the Rock genre while the other half are categorized under Arcade. This should probably be made more consistent.

That, is extremely useful... Thanks a lot.

5 songs with a 7 second difference

EDIT 2 : Btw, only 229 songs have the correct displayed length. 15%.

EDIT 3 : Made a spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...aTXlHNGc#gid=0)

Concerning the genres, I think they are outdated and need a revamp.
Arcade itself isn't a musical genre (just like Misc or Dance) so, a lot of songs can be transferred to other categories.

There were some suggestions made last month, like using difficulties instead, but I do like the classic names. We could have a clean-up and add other song styles; breakcore, house, chiptune, IDM, trance or techno for example. We could even remove the Dance category.

EDIT : Btw I do like Silvuh's icons, but they should have only 1 character, to keep a unity between them.
