Song Corrections Thread

[One Winged Angel]

@noname, if you can compile and sort the list of songs in order of largest time difference (I'd rather get the big ones out of the way first as opposed to < 5 sec differences), I'll fix the entire list over time

[noname219]

I think you're on the spreadsheet atm, I've changed the last column and the songs are ranked by their time difference.

(https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...aTXlHNGc#gid=0)

[One Winged Angel]

Perfect, thanks. I'll post occasionally to let you know which song I'll have last stopped at.

edit: Everything up to and including Computer Dreams on the spreadsheet is fixed. Only less than 15 second differences should be present now.

[bmah]

Time to finally take a look at some of the proposed corrections. Last time I checked, I looked over the letter C. (note once again: anything I don't remark on assume that I agree; any questions I don't answer assume that I don't know either)
Moving on...

D-VOR -> D_VOR
(http://web.archive.org/web/200801101...?bandID=560308)

Holy crap, you found something on this artist! I couldn't find anything previously. So this is actually Dr. 1010? Good call.

daniwell feat. Hatsune Miku
Should we really credit Hatsune Miku as an artist?

Yep.

Daniel Strider
The Moment : Electropop -> Pop/Rock
Your Grace : Electronic Acoustic -> Pop/Rock

I agree.

Daniwell-P -> daniwell

Though both may be correct, I don't really mind if one's daniwell and another is Daniwell-P. Here's proof for the latter: http://vocaloid.wikia.com/wiki/Daniwell-P

Darkest Hour
Pathos : Acoustic Inst. -> Acoustic Rock

Don't want to call it Rock. Maybe at best Soft Rock, but Instrumental is ok to describe it.

dBu
The Brain of the Moon : Progressive Rock/Tou -> Progressive Rock
the Dream of Scarlet : Rock/Touhou -> Epic Rock
The Lunatic Princess : Game Remix/Rock -> Game Remix
UNKnown Girl : Epic Rock/Touhou -> Epic Rock

Already addressed to you the thing about truncated genre names due to their length, but on another note, I agree that we should perhaps remove Touhou within those names.

Detach M-STYLE
Wow, found nothing. I propose to remove the link on this one.

The current link is the best we can probably do to credit the artist. Can't find anything else either.

DEV/NULL -> Dev/Null
Looks like that's the official name he uses for his releases.

According to CRD label, you'd be right:; http://www.cockrockdisco.com/CRD2/artists-devnull.html
But his Soundcloud now put his songs as "devnull". So what's the better case?

Disturbed
Weird how they don't have any widget. Do we have limitations concerning this artist ?
Inside The Fire [FFR Chart] -> Inside the Fire
Why FFR Chart ?

I'm not sure, this might be an artist in which we were only allowed to use one song only. Check the permissions thread and see if you can find anything. Also, idk why it's labelled [FFR Chart]. That might just be some oversight that was added in by the stepper.

DJ Acsent -> DJ Ascent
This really looks like a typo.

I don't know any more than you, but I wonder if "Acsent" is a play on word for "Accent".

DJ Cristo -> djcristo

Are you sure this is correct, or are you just doing this to distinguish from the more popular artist? DJ Cristo used to be an FFR player years ago, I remember. Here's his profile: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...e/D.J.+Cristo/
So I'm not sure if he wants to be actually represented as "djcristo".

DJ Kuhu
Website works but it can't display the characters for me.
His songs avalaible here : (http://a.kankitsu.net/)

The page currently linked on FFR is fine. The songs are on the page you linked but is irrelevant.

Dj Meas -> DjMeas

Again, this lack of spacing...was this really the artist's intention, or just an artefact of mp3 tagging?

DJ Plaeskool -> DJplaeskool

See above, except he might also be using this short-hand form for other forms of media like his blogs. But is that his actual artist title?

DJ Sharpnel
Sources tend to differs on the capitalization of songs. I used VGMdb for the propositions since I think it is the most reliable source.

I think an even more reliable source would be someone who has a lot of his albums, such as Spitfire. There are a number of users here who would definitely know more about the nitty-gritty details.

DJAirWave
Now known as DJ Earthlight, posted the song Pokemon GSC Elite Four on his Newgrounds account.

Ok, we'll keep DJAirWave for the current songs, and any further songs from him that get into the game will go under his new name.

DM Ashura feat. DJ Amuro -> DM Ashura feat. D.J. Amuro
DM Ashura feat. Fixx
DM Ashura feat. Tiger Yamato -> DM Ashura feat. tiger YAMATO

Unless this is how these songs were originally listed, there's no point in listing the original Bemani artists such as D.J. Amuro. And if you wanted to add that, it'd be "Remixed by". Since these songs aren't an exact remix but more like a reference to other songs (but is ultimately an original), I'd go with just removing these Bemani artists.

Dr1010
Basically, I think he changed his name to Foxen and remove all the aliases.

See above on what I said about DJAirWave.


Now I remember why I haven't responded to your updates in a while. This takes up a lot of time for sure! X.x

I'll continue more later.

I believe this is because Inside The Fire was one of the FFRock charts. But yeah, that should be removed.

I was just about to post exactly this.

Did this quick research because I couldn't get my head around the fact that there isn't any info on Detach. Found that he's the co-author of a Fascination MAXX remix with BEN.SPEIRS, retraced the thread on SM.com and found this little gem: http://z7.invisionfree.com/Detach/index.php?
You actually have to register to peruse through it, I'm still looking though for any song listing or anything so I'll edit this post whenever I'm done looking.

Edit: Won't get too far into it, this thread refers to the 300 SM original simfile: http://z7.invisionfree.com/Detach/in...ic=93&st=0&hl= plus a nice small talk about FFR sim database back in the day. You can find the original 300 by Detach M-STYLE stepped by Hiryuu on BMS 7, but this is the only info I can find as far as song name. (source: http://z7.invisionfree.com/Detach/in...wtopic=209&hl=)

[noname219]

Thanks for taking the time to go through this.
I won't have the time to adjust the OP atm. Will do later.
Did some more searches a second time, here's what I found :

Oh, I remember that page.
Both are correct, but it seems "daniwell" is more frequent in his official pages :
Website : http://aidn.jp/main/
Soundcloud : http://soundcloud.com/daniwell_aidn
Facebook : http://www.facebook.com/daniwell.aidn
Youtube : http://www.youtube.com/user/daniwellaidn
daniwellP is used on Discogs, MusicBrainz, Amazon, iTunes and the page you pointed out.

I guess it comes down to what alias he used when he created those songs.
Some information here : http://nyancat.aidn.jp/
For Nyanyanyn.... looks like it's "daniwellP" based on the cover of the single.
Don't know about Electrical Parade but I will make some more searches about this.

Went a little fast there. Acoustic Instrumental is alright, but it's 21 letters. "Instrumental" alone doesn't give us too much information.
Not sure about Soft Rock, it usually have vocals (not all the time) and the themes are light. Darkest Hour are pretty much the complete opposite so it doesn't make sense for me.
I will propose something else when doing the genre propositions.

I think we should refer to the physical releases.
(http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=2408077)
(http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=284237)
(http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=1413761) (back cover)
Wrote on all of them "Dev/Null".

Some information where/when the change was made in the database :

What did you do exactly jimerax ?? ^^

For DJ Ascent :
His Lastm : http://www.lastfm.fr/music/DJ+Ascent
Some threads on the forum :
(http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...ead.php?t=6876)
(http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...ad.php?t=17063) < too bad can't access jimerax link
(http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...38&postcount=7)

For DJ Acsent :
In a pack ? (http://indeedengine.com/packs/pack.php?id=930) Maybe I'll try to get my hand on it just to check the MP3.

Oh well, while I was checking things for DJ Cristo, I found his name "DJ Acsent" on this thread : (http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...ad.php?t=68438)
I'm confused.

Thanks for the link! I wasn't aware he played in the past.
At the time, I made the proposition according to his Newgrounds account.
Just checked on the Permissions thread (http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...ad.php?t=68438) and his name is listed as "DJ Cristo"
Should be the other way around.

Will ask him via PM.

Pretty much everywhere on his website is "djplaeskool".
(http://www.djplaeskool.com/musicarchive.htm) Domani is listed at the very bottom. When downloading the song :

Oh and (http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...ad.php?t=27731).

Only exception, if they are listed here (http://djairwave.newgrounds.com/audio/), it should then be DJAirWave.
Changed his name near the 9/20/09 (http://djairwave.newgrounds.com/news/post/376810).
Found his second Newgrounds account : http://djearthlight.newgrounds.com/.

Uh, don't exactly understand what do you mean.

I think I need a nap or something.

OWA : Really, thanks for working on this!

Nice find Crazyjayde.
His old website : http://www.detachvsmantis.com/
Some results on Wayback Machine : http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://...hvsmantis.com/ (nothing really more than a blank page with a non-working flash object)

[bmah]

Went a little fast there. Acoustic Instrumental is alright, but it's 21 letters. "Instrumental" alone doesn't give us too much information.

I was just giving a shorthand example, I wasn't stating that the genre should be changed exactly to "Instrumental".

Uh, don't exactly understand what do you mean.

Is the artist of these songs listed as "DM Ashura feat. D.J. Amuro" (and so on)? Or is it just "DM Ashura" and someone tacked on "feat. D.J. Amuro" because said person knew the song was a reference another song by D.J. Amuro? If it's the latter case, take out those references.

Well, I didn't find anything that contradicts this (except the punctuation/caps in the names). It seems almost everywhere both DM Ashura and DJ Amuro are credited.
I was thinking, when there are remixes/feats/collaborations we had to mention both the composer and the remixer. (except for video game soundtracks) That's how I've worked so far. :s

[bmah]

Except artists like D.J. Amuro were never featured in the songs at all. At best, they're remixes of existing songs, so you should use the "DM Ashura Remixed by xxx". But even then, I'd say that a lot of DM Ashura's songs aren't true remixes, but rather his own originals (different melodies) in which he uses some references to other songs (similar instruments, phrases). I guess you can say they're semi-remixes or something. All in all, it shouldn't be "feat. XXX artist". /semantical ramblings

[SC_coolguy44]

For Unicron Barbeque I have artist spelling corrections:

XACKSECKS -> XÄCKSECKS

[Tidus810]

Should Pictures at an Exhibition have Promenade added to the title (or something to that effect)? Pictures etc. is the full ten movement piece, but the song in-game is just one rendition of the Promenade that comes up throughout the whole piece. It's essentially its own movement within the greater composition.

Also, don't know if we're bothering with this extent of detail, but it was originally composed for piano. The orchestral arrangement being played in the mp3 is most likely done by Maurice Ravel.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pictures_at_an_ExhibitionRelevant info

[kjwkjw]

The title of the new skill token song (#131) should be changed from "Nanairopanda (32-bitto Furukura MIX)" to "Nanairopanda (32-bitto Furukara MIX)," if we're keeping the romanization.

Alternatively the words in parentheses can be changed to "32-bit Full Color MIX" (MIX was in English in the original title, while the other words were in katakana).

[bmah]

That is reasonable. Changed to your second suggestion.

[axith]

Stuck is under The Queenstons rather than the Sonitus Vir label. I spent way to long looking for a download of it yesterday.

[noname219]

Just a quick update about all this :

Been some weeks since I've touched anything on the project (apart from post 4). Reason is, I have two jobs atm and I have less free time than I had before. My plan is to work 1 hour/day on this project and to find some motivation to keep me going.

I plan also to move the information from the RYM list to a wiki or directly inside this thread. I'm not too sure about having all that info listed outside FFR on a separate website...

[DossarLX ODI]

The guy who made CIA Rave is DJ Ascent, not Acsent.

Also this was the thread that allowed FFR to use Beethoven Virus from BanYa: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...ead.php?t=1446

[noname219]

Thanks for the confirmation about DJ Acsent.

I'm currently merging the correction notes into the wiki so people can edit and see where I'm at. Wish I had more time...

or more help.
