In the Vocaloid world this term is often interpreted more loosely, and is not always limited to just mastering. Strictly speaking, as the name implies, a remastered version should differ from the original only in terms of mastering, meaning the original recording stays the same. In order to use the remaster song type the song should sound almost identical to the original, with the general melody and song structure intact. If the album version is not playable online, it's okay to use the original song entry (the album should be tagged with the remaster tag), but you may create a separate remaster entry for the album version as well. Quite often album versions of songs are remasters, but this is not always the case. Sometimes the artist remasters the song for an album release. In that case it's not necessary to add another entry for the original, and the remaster can use the "original song" type. Sometimes artists may replace the original song with a remastered version, even deleting the original.
Remaster ("修正版" or "リマスター版" in Japanese) means an improved/remastered version of a song.

As with other decisions you make while editing, if it's not completely obvious, please state your reasons and how you got the information in the update notes whenever possible. If the primary tie breaker is ambiguous or unknown, the second tie breaker is choosing the Vocaloid song over other versions (for example if the other version is sung by a human vocalist). In this case the primary tie breaker is artist's intention (which version was intended to be the "original"?). Sometimes the artist might release multiple versions of the song simultaneously. Instead, you should indicate that the song is an instrumental by using the instrumental tag. Instrumental song that is an original, meaning it's not an instrumental version of some other song, should be classified as original song, not instrumental.
Extended versions should generally use the remix type. There are exceptions to this rule, for example if the earlier version is officially labeled a cover or if it's commonly agreed that way.Įxtended ("long") versions of songs should generally be separate from the original song entry on VocaDB, unless the short version was intended to be only a demo, in which case it can safely be replaced by the longer version. To avoid misunderstandings, as a rule of thumb the version that was published first, regardless of medium, should be considered the original, and all others are derivatives. The songs might be published in different media, for example an album song vs.
Sometimes the producer might publish multiple different versions of a song, usually with different vocals or different lengths, calling all of them originals. Note that on VocaDB self-covers and self-remixes, made by the artist themself, are to be classified as covers and remixes, not "original songs", unlike on NicoNicoDouga. Original song is the version of the song that was published first, later versions are considered as derivatives regardless of who made them.Īs long as the above rule is true, the original song type takes precedence over all other types, with the exception of Drama PV (see below). Original songs ("オリジナル曲" in Japanese) are songs that are completely original content and aren't based on other songs.
