Doujin music releases are self-produced and published as doujin activity. They are often fan creations and are typically launched at conventions such as Comiket, but may also be sold online or made available for streaming.
Doujin creators organize themselves into circles whose activities include performance, production, and publishing.
This guide advises a common style for entering doujin releases into MusicBrainz where guidance beyond the core MusicBrainz style guide seems necessary.
Release Artist
Use the circle's name as the release artist unless specific marketing on the product indicates otherwise by labeling it a solo album and/or indicating a different primary release artist.
Examples:
- Phant 2 is a release by the circle compllege
- LAST DANCE is distributed by the circle Diverse System but is a solo album by Sakuzyo as indicated on the spine
- soleil de minuit is distributed by the circle クラリムステラ but is a collaboration credited to 藍月なくる × Sennzai
Label
Unless the release is distributed by a different label, use a personal label for the circle.
Examples:
- Diverse System (label) is a personal label for Diverse System (group artist)
- compllege (label) is a personal label for compllege (group artist)
Track Artist
If the release is a collaboration between multiple circles and the track listing indicates the circle as credit for the track then use the circle as the track artist.
Otherwise, if dedicated track artist(s) are credited in a format that's suitable as MusicBrainz track artists then use these as the track artists. Remember to apply featured artist styles.
Otherwise, use the release artist as the track artist.
In all cases, use relationships to represent specific song credits where they are known.
Examples:
- NON-STOP INTERCEPT phase three
- Release artist: Alstroemeria Records × DiGiTAL WiNG (collaboration)
- Track artists: one of the two circles as indicated by the track listing on the back cover
- 月輝 -tu:ki-
- Release artist: WAVE
- Track artists: dedicated artists as indicated by track attributions on the back cover
- SANDZ OF TIMEZ
- Release artist: ZYTOKINE
- Track artists: release artist with featured artist credits as indicated on the back cover
