This template was placed on June 5, 2024, 12:07 PM. The last edit was on 23:15, 06 July 2024 (CST).

The format of this page is suitable for song articles that meet the following conditions (hereinafter referred to as vocalsynth song articles):

  • They were made using voice synthesis software (such as VOCALOID).
  • The song's PV is submitted to the video website by the creator or the agent entrusted by the creator (such as the PV author) or the relevant official account.

Before writing: Choosing an article name

According to the article naming guidelines, in short, the following points should be paid attention to when choosing the vocalsynth song article page name:

  • Avoid unnecessary special symbols, but you can retain ASCII symbols (except # < > [ ] | { }) and Greek letters (such as ψ) that express specific meanings in real science.
  • Priority will be given to names in English.
  • If there is an official translation, it will be used first.

Example: SnowMix
The actual name of the song is "SnowMix♪", but according to the treatment of symbols and uncommon words, the "♪" symbol at the end is omitted.

For more situations where disambiguation is required, see the disambiguation policy.

Introduction

An introduction is where you introduce the basic information of a work.

The general format of an introduction is:

"Anta ni Akkanbe" (あんたにあっかんべ) is a Japanese original VOCALOID song written by 一二三, uploaded to Niconico, YouTube and Bilibili on March 21, 2023. It is sung by Hatsune Miku.

The Akkanbe (あっかんべ) in the title of the song evolved from Akame (あかめ), which refers to the action of opening the lower eyelids with fingers to make a face[1][2].

If a song is included in an album (except single albums), additional inclusion information is required. For example:

Editor content
"'''SnowMix♪'''" is a Japanese original [[VOCALOID]] song produced by [[Marasy]], uploaded to [[Niconico]], [[YouTube]] and [[Bilibili]] on December 23, 2022, and uploaded to [[Niconico]] by Hatsune Miku's official account on the same day. It is sung by [[Hatsune Miku]].

This song is the official theme song of [[Snow Miku|"SNOW MIKU 2023"]]. Included in the album "'''[[Yūten no Fantasia feat. Hatsune Miku]]'''".
Displayed content "SnowMix♪" is a Japanese original VOCALOID song produced by まらしぃ, uploaded to Niconico, YouTube and Bilibili on December 23, 2022, and uploaded to Niconico by Hatsune Miku's official account on the same day. It is sung by Hatsune Miku.

This song is the official theme song of "SNOW MIKU 2023". Included in the album "Yūten no Fantasia feat. Hatsune Miku".

Song

This paragraph needs to list the CAST table of the song and insert the relevant song MV.

List CAST table

If the producer themself does not do all the work behind the scenes, you need to use {{VOCALOID Songbox Introduction}} to list the cast table of the work. The general format used in vocalsynth song articles is:

</nowiki>
{{VOCALOID Songbox Introduction
|lbgcolor = <!-- Background color -->
|ltcolor = <!-- text color -->
|group1 = Lyricist
|list1 = <!-- Lyricist name-->
|group2 = Composer
|list2 = <!-- Composer name -->
|group3 = Illustration
|list3 = <!-- Illustrator name -->
|group4 = Vocal
|list4 = [[<!--singer name-->]]
}}
</nowiki>

If there won't be a Moegirlpedia article in the future, there is no need to add internal links.

If the CAST table exceeds 6 lines or significantly affects the lyrics layout, you need to use folding. For example:

</nowiki>
<div style="float:right">

{{Hide|Title=List of producers of this song|Content=
{{VOCALOID Songbox Introduction
|lbgcolor = rgba(165,185,225,0.7)
|ltcolor = rgba(50,87,161)
|group1 = Lyrics, Composition & Piano
|list1 = {{lj|[[Marasy|まらしぃ]]}}
|group2 = Mixing & Arranging
|list2 = KOUICHI
|group3 = Tuning
|list3 = {{lj|びび}}
|group4 = Illustration
|list4 = {{lj|[[Omutatsu|おむたつ]]}}
|group5 = Animation
|list5 = Qvy
|group6 = Vocal
|list6 = [[Hatsune Miku]]
}}
}}</div>
</nowiki>

Advanced

  • Song name, the engine with which it was made, producer name (song publisher), upload date, upload platform, voice synthesis software character name.
  • The series and album to which the song belongs (unofficially released digital albums must be specially noted).
  • Song achievements, plays and collections.
  • Other information about the song, such as plot introduction, series introduction, song appreciation, etc.
  • A human voice cover version of the song by an utaite, in the name of the author.
  • Cover songs should briefly introduce information about the original song.

Generally speaking, a song introduction should follow the following format:

"''''[Song Name]'''" is a [language] [the engine to which the character belongs] [original/cover] song by [[producer name]], uploaded to [website name] on [upload date, Month X, XXXX]. It is sung by [[[singer software character name]]]. [It is included in the XXX series/album "XXXXXXX", please delete this sentence if not applicable]. It is a [[[the engine achievement page of the singer software character]|[Hall of Fame/Myth/Legend]]] song, so far it has been viewed {{bilibiliCount|id=[Please enter the BV number/AV number]}} times, {{bilibiliCount|id=[Please fill in the BV number/AV number]|type=4}} people collected it.

[General information about the song, such as plot introduction, series introduction, song appreciation, etc.]

The original song is [song name] sung by [singer name]. [If it is an original song, please delete this column]

There is also a human vocals version by [''utaite'' name]. [If there are no ''utaite'' covers, please delete this column].

Example:

"Things I Can't Forgive" is a VOCALOID Chinese original song submitted by Yuli to bilibili on July 21, 2016. It is sung by Luo Tianyi and Yuezheng Ling and is included in the "Growth" theme album "Dear:" Twilight side. It is a Hall of Myth song with 948,100 views and 46,000 favorites.

This song uses the characters and settings of the Paranoia series, and is named "VividCycle Project", with its logo designed by Mosquito Repellent. The PV vaguely pointed out the unforgivable harm suffered by Ling Yu and Ling Luo in the past, but it was not until the release of "Zero Weight Prayer" that they were connected as a whole. In the Paranoia series of novels, "Things I Can't Forgive" is set as a song composed by Ling Yu, and is deeply admired by Ling Luo. "Chronological Chaos" is the name of the band formed by the two. Interestingly, it is a song that has caused some controversy in the series, just as it does in reality.

The birth of this work is also closely related to the experience of curator Yu Li, whose reflections are reflected in many places in the work. The so-called "unforgivable" essentially refers to a kind of resistance to evil deeds that refuses to compromise or condone.

The unruly melody and high-pitched vocals carry a strong sense of declaration of war. The distinctive PV and black voice insertion are also very shocking.

There is also an utaite version sung by Soraru.


You should also pay attention to the following issues when writing:

  • The series or album to which it belongs should be introduced in the first paragraph as much as possible. If the sentence is lengthy, it can also be introduced in the general information section.
  • If the song does not have such content, then delete the introduction section.

When there are multiple versions of a song, there may be different intro formats and content descriptions.

  • When the original PVs of the song remains unchanged or the PV is remade:
"''''[Song Name]'''" is a [language] [the engine to which the character belongs] [original/cover] song by [[producer name]], uploaded to [website name] on [upload date, Month X, XXXX]. It is sung by [[[singer software character name]]]. The [remake or new PV version] of this song was submitted by [producer name] to [website name] on [upload date, Month X, XXXX]. [It is included in the XXX series/album "XXXXXXX", please delete this sentence if not applicable]. It is a [[[the engine achievement page of the singer software character]|[Hall of Fame/Myth/Legend]]] song, the original version has {{bilibiliCount|id=[Please enter the BV number/AV number]}} views, and {{bilibiliCount|id=[Please fill in the BV number/AV number]|type=4}} favorites, while the [remake or new PV version] has {{bilibiliCount|id=[Please enter the BV number/AV number]}} views,  and {{bilibiliCount|id=[Please fill in the BV number/AV number]|type=4}} favorites.

[General information about the song, such as plot introduction, series introduction, song appreciation, etc.]

The original song is [song name] sung by [singer name]. [If it is an original song, please delete this column]

There is also a human vocals version by [''utaite'' name]. [If there are no ''utaite'' covers, please delete this column].
  • When it is a song cover:
"''''[Song Name]'''" is a [language] song produced by b[[original producer]], sung by [[original singer]]. 

This article introduces the [the engine to which the character belongs] cover version of the song.

[Song title, or new title for cover] is a song by [producer name], uploaded to [website name] on [upload date, Month X, XXXX]. It is sung by [[[singer software character name]]]. The [remake or new PV version] of this song was submitted by [producer name] to [website name] on [upload date, Month X, XXXX]. [It is included in the XXX series/album "XXXXXXX", please delete this sentence if not applicable]. It is a [[[the engine achievement page of the singer software character]|[Hall of Fame/Myth/Legend]]] song, with {{bilibiliCount|id=[Please enter the BV number/AV number]}} views, and {{bilibiliCount|id=[Please fill in the BV number/AV number]|type=4}} favorites.

[You can describe the song information, such as what makes it special compared to other versions.]

Inserting music videos

Main page: Help:Inserting videos

Generally, the template {{YoutubeVideo}} is used to insert videos or uploads from YouTube, and {{NiconicoVideo}} is used for Niconico uploads.

If there is another version created by the utaite or the original author, the corresponding video must also be inserted.

In special cases, when there is no corresponding video on YouTube, video or audio from other sites can be inserted, such as {{BilibiliVideo}} for videos from Bilibili.

Examples of using templates: {{AcfunVideo}}, {{Music163}}, etc.

Lyrics

This section is used to record the lyrics of the work. Please note the following when writing:

  • Place lyrics in the <poem></poem> tags to maintain original line breaks;
  • Full-width spaces " " are usually used to separate different sentences in lyrics, but punctuation with special meanings such as question marks and quotation marks can be retained.
  • English uses half-width spaces between words, and only uses full-width spaces between sentences.
  • When formatting lyrics, each line should not be too short to keep the page compact.
  • There should be a blank line before the lyric text.

Lyrics can generally be found in the video itself, Piapro, VocaDB and major music platforms.

This paragraph should also include copyright information for the lyrics. Usually {{VOCALOID Songbox Introduction}} is placed under this paragraph and the parameter </nowiki>LDC= YES is set</nowiki>; similar effects can also be achieved by using {{LyricsKai}} or using the {{LDC}} template and setting the parameters sect=1|type=lyrics.

Translation

Please list both the original text and the translation. Out of respect for translators, please try to find the translators and list them in the following format:

*Translation: Translator's name<ref>Translation reprinted from [source link source name]</ref>

Example:

Page content
*Translation: Fe<ref>Translation reprinted from [https://w.atwiki.jp/vocaloidchly/pages/1587.html VOCALOID Chinese lyrics wiki]</ref>
Displayed content *Translation: Fe[1]
  1. Translation reprinted from VOCALOID Chinese lyrics wiki

It is best to communicate privately with the translator and obtain authorization.

Regarding the selection of translated versions, please try to give priority to more authoritative translation websites, such as VOCALOID Lyrics Wiki. Secondly, you can find them on Bilibili (column/comment area), Bahamut, Lofter, etc. Since the translator cannot be determined most of the time, translations on major music platforms are generally not chosen unless there are no other better versions available. In addition, if you are translating by yourself, you can choose to link to the MGP user page when marking the translator's name.

If you cannot find a suitable translation for the time being, please temporarily save the draft of the song article in your personal subpage, and then move it to the main namespace until the translation is completed. In principle, it is prohibited to directly create new articles left untranslated or with machine-translated lyrics parts in the main namespace.

Under normal circumstances, no changes should be made to the existing translations in the article. If you think the original translation is of poor quality and some content needs to be adjusted, you should first try to communicate with the translator before making any changes, and indicate any changes. If it is deemed necessary to replace the entire translation, you should communicate with the relevant editor and replace it with a better or appropriate translation after reaching a consensus.

Lyrics are generally typeset using {{LyricsKai}}. The usage method is as follows:

	{{LyricsKai
|lstyle=color: left font color;
|rstyle=color: right font color;
|original=
Original
|translated=
Translation
}}

It should be noted that the original text and the translation should correspond one to one (the nth line in the original text corresponds to the nth line in the translation)

Related navbox templates

A navbox template of the songwriter and the virtual singer used should be added here. If the corresponding template does not exist, there is no need to add it.

Except for {{Hatsune Miku}}, which is generally not used, the corresponding templates with other tracks sung by virtual singers should be, such as {{Kasane Teto}}, {{Luo Tianyi}}.

When the songwriter has a template, it is added above the virtual singer template, such as {{Mitchie M}}.

Comment

Annotations are often used to indicate the source of translation, the translator's explanation of some vocabulary, etc.

<ref>Comment content</ref>

This allows you to annotate a piece of text.

<references />

In this way, the references content can be displayed in a concentrated manner. If the reference list is not written in this line, it will be displayed at the bottom of the page by default.

In the vocalsynth song article, if <ref></ref> comments have been defined in the article, you need to add them below the navbox template:

== Comments and external links ==
<references />

Categorization

At the end of the article, you need to add a categorization for indexing, as follows:

Other categories indicating the activities in which the song participates, such as Category:Songs participating in The VOCALOID collection, etc. If it does not participate in the above activities, you can ignore this category.

In general song articles, it is often only necessary to add the first three categories:

[[Category:Japanese music]]
[[Category:Songs using VOCALOID]]
[[Category:Songs by Hatsune Miku]]

If a singer template (such as {{Luo Tianyi}}) is used, there is no need to add the categories mentioned in the second and third items:

[[Category:Japanese music]]

Other content

The following is information that is usually not required in most vocalsynth song articles, but may be included in some articles:

Works included

If there are many albums and rhythm games that contain this song, you can list them in a separate section. Same goes for concerts.

Related achievements

When it is necessary to introduce various achievements of a song (including but not limited to data achievement, fastest achievement, weekly achievement, etc.), it is generally placed directly in the introduction. If there is a lot of content, a separate section can be created for the same reason.

Rhythm game-related

This part belongs to other topics, just refer to the existing articles on rhythm game-related content. The corresponding content should be in a separate section at the bottom of the article above the navbox template. If there are light novel, live-action drama, manga or other adaptations, or other content that overlaps with the scope of other topics, the same treatment will apply.

In addition, depending on the content of the article, you can also include other topic-related page-top templates or {{Welcome participation}} at the top of the article, but be careful not to put too many page-top templates.

Of course, as long as the original format and readability are not tampered with, you can also ignore the rules and use templates and other content not mentioned on this page to create special effects, themes or forms.
