Release dates, bitrates, and moods are interesting concepts for tagging! Never considered those, but I think that'd be a cool idea.

And this is more of a question than a suggestion, since you oversee the tags.  Do you notice a problem with hyphenation when it comes to tagging?  For instance, "post-rock" or "post rock"?  I assume that would appear as two "different" tags.  Are people consistent enough that this isn't an issue?

 

Ooh~ I used to be a big fan of her
Goodbye Lullaby was indeed good, though I haven't listened to that album much myself even if I do own that CD.
Might wanna check out this newer release.

The album will contain a lead track (by KALM), new sounds made by Hora, Rookie (A(エース) ) and KEN MORIOKA (SOFT BALLET, KA.F.KA), a remastering version of "remains of mind", Kaya's first own composition (included in type B ) and the singles (Vampire Requiem, SALOME and Marionette) remastered and rearranged.
 
He will also go for a concert in Brazil on December. 

I will be temporarily on hiatus for around one week since 2013/10/17 due to my overseas trip

Oasis? yeah, reminds me another name is Blur...

Hello guys, I see that nobody post about this band. For who don't know them see in lastfm page, for me this band is really awesome. Some songs remember my past life, I yet dream go to a concert them (should be awesome).

 

My favorite songs is:

Maybe Tomorrow (THE BEST)

dakota

Have a Nice Day

Mr. Writer (amazing song)

Superman

It Means Nothing.

 

 

The new album is really good, them show to me that yet keep your music and your place scene ''rock alternative''.

 



 

My favorite songs this new album is:

 

We Share The Same Sun ( The song is great to start my day)

Indian Summer (great song)

Violins And Tambourines 

In A Moment (AWESOME SONG)

No-One’s  (Best song for me)

 

 

So guys, tell me if you like this band... I believe that someone here already go to concert them and have sure that liked it.

 

Cara, eu não reclamo...acho desnecessário bater boca por causa disso. Se vc gosta de uma banda, só ignora o que falam mal dela, quem gosta é vc, então foadse XD

wow, Welsh post-britpop with alternative rock and hard rock, indie rock.
a little cool, I think.
gonna have a try~~~

I don't think we should ban the VK tag but maybe make it a requirement to not just use it alone since technically VK is not a genre it's a scene... I can see how it would be useful for people who just want to see VK related downloads though

Consolidating the questions that were brought up in the about thread and bringing them here. If you have questions or anything, don't hesitate to post here and I'll get back to you and keep this updated!
 

 
How extensive will the database end up being? Like, what kind of information will you cover?
When we start out, it'll be fairly small. It'll mainly comprise of a band profile consisting of a biography about the band - kinda how Last.FM is right now. We'll be building upon this though, adding new features and information blocks, including band member/artist profiles and complete discography information. This only touches the tip of the iceberg in what we want to do though. But, as Aion said - our goal is to cover as much as possible - especially when it comes to lesser known obscure/indie bands.
 
 
Also, will it involve user input etc. or will mods/specific people keep everything up to date and building the database?
In order to help maintain legitimate information, it'll be a sort of "closed" wiki type system. Basically, we'll have a set of trusted users to help maintain and build the database - there is really no limit to the number of people that can be in this trusted group. We'll have some sort of system to apply for this type of position after the site is launched.
 
 
How is it related to MH? I mean that I want to know in which ways the two sites will interact with each other. Maybe MH will be the future DS forum, or the community mentioned?
It's roots are not related to MH in any way. DS was a project that Manda and I had been working on prior to us coming here (DS started around 2007, and Manda ran it by herself even before then). When TW was in shambles and had no hosting, we stepped up to offer to host the forum. At the time we had our own small forum on DS, which we got rid of in sight of striking up a sort of... partnership with everyone here. With that, the plan is to integrate the user accounts here into DS - meaning you can log into DS with your MH account. But yes, the community I spoke of was the current user base on MH as well as the new members that join us all through DS.
 
 
Is there anything decided in terms of criteria for artists visibility on the page? In the visual example Kai shows a Plastic Tree feature which is news related. I understand this probably a placeholder but it got me thinking about if the featured bands would be based on news, database updates or any other factor.
There will be many placeholders for different parts of the website on the home page. The screenshot shown in my original post is a very very small portion of the overall page, with the intention that the slider will be featured news items. There will be no preference to what type of band or style of music is shown on the front page (if you were worried that it would be centered around visual kei).
 
There are also planned sections showing the latest additions to the database, latest updates made in the database, blog and articles section, and more.
 
 
What kind of database are you using? Relational database?? CAN I QUERY THE SHIT OUT OF IT?!?!!?!?
Yes, it's relational. I'm interested in building an API off of it to let others connect to and query the data in whatever ways they want, but this'll be much farther down the road and isn't really planned in any way at this point.
 
 
Would you just be sticking to a certain genre within Japanese bands? Or will you start off with specific genres and then try to expand out to ALL Japanese music?
This is a bit of a difficult question to answer. Our system will be open to a lot of genre's, but it's not built for J-Pop or the like. A good rule of thumb is pretty much anything you see being discussed or shared here on MH will be included in the database.

I know, the message wasn't directed at you for creating this topic, but for the ones that derailed it and were being extremely negative. On a personal note, I do indeed wonder why people waste time posting negative things in threads of artists they don't like instead of spending that energy on music they do like.

OMG
 

 
                             

more important thing is reorganisation in the moderation team and make forum more active than it is now. we don't need a lot of changes right now, imo. let's wait for the mods' decision about the main problem and not push on them with all things at once.

Being one of the people who's been here for years, and being one who listens to kpop at that, I still think this isn't a good idea.
 
This forum is supposed to be about Japanese music, right? We already have a section where we upload rock music that isn't necessarily Japanese, but it still is Asian. Isn't that good enough? Also, it's been years since this forum was only about all the VK. I get most of my Japanese rock music from this place, and I haven't been really listening to VK in years.
 
There are a lot of blogs and websites out there sharing Kpop music. Now I'm not against listening to kpop, but it would result in a surge of kpop kids who, if you've seen anything at all, are pretty much brain dead (not everyone, but I'm sure you know what I mean) and you'd get threads full of oppa oppa ooppppaaaaaaa. Aren't there already enough websites for this? Call me narrowminded or ignorant or anything you'd want for that opinion, but as someone who's seen enough of the kpop world, I'd like to see Monochrome as some kind of website that still keeps to its original idea.
 
Besides, how could we have split forums for every genre for instance, when so many rock bands are such a mix of thousands at once?
