About the song "READY TO GO" of RUANN[edit]

From the following references, "READY TO GO" could be judged as a single song.

  1. The reference you choose shows that the song was digitally released on December 12, 2018.[1]
  2. iTunes says "single".[2] Other streaming sites such as Spotify[3] and Amazon Music[4] treat it as a single song.
  3. The label of this song is TOY'S FACTORY. They show the song in her discography as a single.[5]

Hi there! I can't find any Japanese music press releases that refer to Ready to Go as a single (シングル、配信シングル、デジタルシングル, etc), unlike the other singles. The sources I've found [1] [2] [3] etc) all call it a digital release and not a single, but if you can find a reputable music press article (possibly print!) that described it as a single, that would help.
iTunes/Recochoku don't count as sources for what is a single vs. not a single in this case, as they're indiscriminate: every release that's short is called a single, whether or not they're what music press considers a single or not (plus, Toy's Factory calls Ready to Go "配信限定" and doesn't call it a single). --Prosperosity (talk) 07:15, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I understand your point. Certainly, I couldn't find any articles that describe it as a single. By the way, Toy's Factory seems to use the term "配信限定" when there is no CD release and only digital distribution. For example, singles "LOVE & HOPE" and "There's No Ending" are also "配信限定" for them.[4] This is same for other artists such as BABY METAL.[5] However, it is certain that there is no article which says it as a single.--Fewo3 (talk) 16:01, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The biography of RUANN[edit]

I'd like to discuss about a description "a cover of One Ok Rock's "Wherever You Are" (2010) was seen by the band's vocalist Taka." I can't find any reference about which movies were watched by Taka but there are some references[1][2][3] that Taka posted a screen-shot of RUANN on his Instagram[4] and said "She's so talented!". The screen-shot shows a movie titled "If I Ain't Got You - Alicia Keys 大山琉杏13歳"[5] which was uploaded on her fan's youtube channel "support channel Ruan" currently "RUANN support channel"[6]. We can find Taka watched this cover movie. But I think we can't specify Taka watched a cover of "Where You Are" or not. --Fewo3 (talk) 17:42, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You're right - I've changed it. --Prosperosity (talk) 07:15, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The label of RUANN[edit]

I'd like to know a reference that Kakao M is a label of RUANN. --Fewo3 (talk) 17:44, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[6] [7] Kakao M is the distributor Bside organised for her in Korea, it seems. I don't speak Korean, but I'd like to find better sources for this from a music press article or label website. --Prosperosity (talk) 07:15, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much for references! I confirmed that Kakao M is a label of RUANN.--Fewo3 (talk) 16:06, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

miscellaneous question 1[edit]

I learned not to display the track list in the album description. For my later study, please tell me the wikipedia help-page about the standard format of artist description. --Fewo3 (talk) 17:45, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing, it's WP:DISCOGSTYLE. --Prosperosity (talk) 07:15, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

miscellaneous questions 2[edit]

Ruan Ohyama is professionally known as RUANN but not Ruann. Her artist-name is all uppercase letter at any sources or references. And her songs such as "TETOTE"[1][2], "I AM STANDING"[3], "GET THE GLORY"[4], "LOVE & HOPE"[5], "READY TO GO"[6] and "BEEP BEEP"[7] are used all uppercase letter. Also she[8] and her label[9][10] never use lowercase letter. Even in such a situation, lowercase letter should be use under the standard format? --Fewo3 (talk) 17:46, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, as per WP:MJ ("Capitalization of words in Roman script"). If a musical act is always referred to in English press in a certain way (e.g. t.A.T.u.) then an exception can be argued, but the English articles about Ruann aren't consistent about a single style (Ruann vs RUANN). Since there's no consistency, the best style is the standard English capitalisation style (for now, at least - she might get lots of English press in the future that always calls her "RUANN", at which point maybe a discussion could be made). --Prosperosity (talk) 07:15, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

miscellaneous questions 3[edit]

I'd like to know some general reference about "Genre" of artists which you usually use. --Fewo3 (talk) 17:47, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Music review magazines or websites would be the best place to find this (it has to be professionally done, so not Amazon/iTunes reviews), or even concert reviews/music articles that talk about which genres she performs. The ones I know like CDJournal, Rockin' On, Skream and music magazines typically review CDs only. Other than Scramble 14 (which I don't think anywhere reviewed) she hasn't released a physical CD, so it'd be a little hard to add. J-Pop and K-Pop are probably pretty safe and nobody would contest these, so I'll add these in. If you find any sources that reference genres that she sings, let me know (or add them in yourself!) --Prosperosity (talk) 07:15, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Your answer is very helpful. Thank you so much!--Fewo3 (talk) 16:10, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
