Meta question:
I am planning on making a similar post for the !anime@ani.social community sometime this week. I wasn't sure what kind of criteria I might want to include about the "international hit" rule. I was thinking about limiting nominations to songs with less than a set number of youtube views or something like that...but wasn't really sure how to apply that. Wasn't sure if you had any thoughts.
I guess that would be good. I assumed that Vocaloid is niche enough to not have any „international hits“, but songs like „Miku“ by anamanaguchi are probably still too mainstream.
I think something like 1m views on YouTube should be a good limit to exclude the mainstream while still allowing artists that are popular within the community.
Edit edit: Looks like there really isn't anything to worry about. I suspect that your initial hunch is right that vocaloid is niche enough to not worry about it at all. I don't plan on limiting it in any way for the anime community.
~~I think you're probably right about vocaloid being niche enough to not worry about it. I was thinking more like 10 million views for my case. Looking over some of my favorite anisongs from last year, that would restrict about half of them. I'm not as plugged into the vocaloid scene, but that would eliminate stuff like Static and Birdbrain, while still allowing stuff like Flop Era or Magic Maid.~~
~~edit: I just asked for clarification in the lemmyvision thread.~~
Are songs in which the vocaloid is not the sole singer allowed? (i.e. it features non-vocaloids)
Are song made for anime allowed?
I guess, as long as the vocaloid is the main focus
