[edit] Japanese

I don't know how to use Japanese input, but could someone input the contents of this ([1]) image which is apparently her name. gren 7 July 2005 01:30 (UTC)

Actually, I think I found it, if someone would check to make sure that's correct it'd be appreciated. gren 7 July 2005 01:34 (UTC)


[edit] Important Titles Note for ALL asian artist talk pages

I must note something very important for future editors of this page (also try to observe this for any non English speaking band or author... etc): If you see a single, album, dvd, concert, or book title that contains poor grammar, please consider that even though the English spelling or grammar may be incorrect, that it still may actually be the official title. If someone is searching for the single, and cannot find it the official way... then what good is wiki? Please do not tamper with titles unless you have found hard evidence that the title has been written incorrectly from the official spelling. also note, some OFFICIAL japanese titles are titled in all CAPS (or with stars and hearts or other "non-letter/number characters) this is NOT a mistake, please leave them like this. All one must do is observe the picture or written info of the single/album/book on the official page which is linked in the article at the bottom. Please help keep wikipedia encyclopedic and correct! Thank you. -- NatsukiGirl\talk 21:05, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, can you provide arguments on why should we break the convention? why not putting redirects in the all uppercase titles? The article text could use uppercase, but I don't see compelling arguments for changing the convention of the title. Also, for the "people wil lsearch for the upper case title", well, that's what the redirects solve. So far I haven't seen a discussion (perhaps you can point it to me) and since there's no consensus yet, I suggest not to change albums titles to uppercase (as in AROUND THE WORLD from the existing titles). -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 04:15, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
The typesettings used on Album covers (and this is not restricted to merely Asian artists - examples can be seen from all continents) are far too unreliable to be used in an encyclopedia. This is the Wikipedia naming convention on musical releases has been set the way it has. If an album appears with it's name all in upper case on the sleeve that is no reason to list it as such on Wikipedia. In these cases a redirect to the article title which conforms with Wiki guidelines will suffice. 219.112.189.202 04:24, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
It is not only symbols and caps that I am concerned with, it also faulty grammar and spelling. If the title of an album is "mechine it tyming bamb" this should, under NO CIRCUMSTANCE be changed to "the machine is a time bomb"... because that is NOT the official title. -- NatsukiGirl\talk 21:06, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fast Car

According to the page for Fast Car, Hitomi Yaida covered the song by Tracy Chapman, but it's not included in her discography. On what album, if any, did she remake the song? Roehl Sybing 16:09, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

"Fast Car" appeared on a live album titled Sound Drop: MTV Unplugged + Acoustic Live 2005 which was roughly released in December 2005. At the moment this album is not mentioned on her Wiki page (similar to other non-studio/compilation albums), but I have plans to extend this article (including creating separate pages for each album) after I've finished a few other things I'm working on.

[edit] Oct 2006 changes

I have added more items on the main page related to her discography and created pages for more albums. As part of this I have created Category:Hitomi_Yaida_albums for use when adding new albums and images, to keep things neat and tidy can I suggest that future albums and album images are added to this category. Information for her new album has been entered on IT'S A NEW DAY please update this when released. What should we do with the Singles? have them on the album pages to which they relate to or create new pages for each one? Chapter01 would have it's own page anyway as it's not an Album release. Also, can anyone verify if Chain was released as a single? I have a copy of the PV for it but cannot see anything about it on yesasia or cdjapan. Thanks Foxhill 16:12, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
