Rule 101: Clean title

Only include the title of the song as the entry name (with exceptions on “Remix” and “Remaster” entries)

(Applies to all finished song entries)

Rule modified 2025-10-16

A primary name or an alias of a song entry should only contain the title of the song. This means you shouldn’t include the following, but not limited to, information on the name:

  • Artists
    Add them as the artist of the song.

    • Vocalists (e.g. “feat. Hatsune Miku”)
    • Producers (e.g. “DECO*27”, “椎名もた(siinamota)”, “Jamie Pagie”)
    • Featured artist (e.g. “w/ OK Glass”)
    • Original artists (for derivatives)
      Do not add them as the artist of the derived song!
  • Song type (e.g. “Cover”, “Original Song”)
    Use the “Type” field.

  • Language (e.g. “Japanese”, “English”)
    Use the “Language” field.

  • Tools (e.g “VOCALOID”, “SynthV”, “UTAU”)
    Add them as tags.

  • Genres (e.g. “EDM”, “Pop”)
    Add them as tags.

  • Other information (e.g. “Official Audio”, “Voicebank Debut”)
    Add them as tags whenever possible.

Exception exists for “Remix” and “Remaster” entries. See the “Keep remix titles” rule.
