Talk:Rei Yasuda

Spelling of her name
Why is the entry called "Reicheru Rozu"? The album credits are written in English and give her name as "Rachel Rhodes". Her agency profile also displays this spelling in addition to the Japanese transliteration. There doesn't seem to be any reason to re-transliterate the Japanese transliteration into English instead of using the original English spelling. We don't, for instance, call Olivia Lufkin "Oribia Rufkin" or whatever the re-transliterated spelling would be, even though she's half-Japanese and lives in Japan.--GagHalfrunt (talk) 18:14, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Rachel Rhodes (singer) → Rei Yasuda – From Google, it appears that there are far more hits about her under "Rei Yasuda" or "安田レイ" than Rachel Rhodes (with or without the disambiguation "singer"); in addition, virtually all recent sources about her (Japanese or English) refer to her as Rei Yasuda, often without mentioning her real name.

 * I agree with this, though the Japanese wiki makes it ambiguous as to whether "Rachel Rhodes" was really her legal name. lullabying (talk) 06:58, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Tie in
After carefully reading WikiProject Discographies/style I think tie-in should include in single discography table for this artist because

1. This artist nature (and many other Japanese singers) always release single and promote simultaneously with tie-in. Which is different from western artists (and some eastern artists) that release the single without tie-in first (though it can have product placement in music video), and after the song get famous, tie-in will come later.

2. Since all of her singles released with tie-in, people that want to know her likely heard from tie-in, so it should be place side by side with the single so they can easily notice.

3. I'm not reject writing tie-in in career section but I wait one month and no one write it, so if someone disagree with me then at least write tie-in in career section before deleting tie-in from discography section. Lack of information is worse than misplaced information.

4. Remind that WikiProject Discographies guideline is only recommendation, not a rule (see Ignore all rules section in guideline for more detail). I also disagree that single can only include a year of release, not a full release date. But let's not deviate too much from the guideline (for now).

PS. Also according to the guideline, editor should be VERY careful about sale figures. Furthermore, citing number from Billboard Hot chart is not recommend because it's composite chart that compose of physical sale + digital sale + airplay + youtube view + etc. and convert into a point without giving a methodology. I myself don't want to include sale table in discography at all. Unless she becomes very famous that big institute like Recording Industry Association of Japan decide to reveal her sales number (like Hikaru Utada) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pookpooi (talk • contribs) 17:38, 16 April 2019 (UTC)


 * You should probably bring this to WikiProject Discographies for comment to get attention to see what they think. lullabying (talk) 18:55, 16 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes, I've ask on their talk page on why single can only have year release and not full release date. But other than that I think wiki guideline is pretty universal and flexible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pookpooi (talk • contribs) 20:17, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
