need to sort still

  • catchers of mad wreck - think, but am not certain they're Japanese. Album I have is a non-vocal trip hop one, only real entry for it I've found online is a chinese one that lists electronic albums from various countries and says this album wasn't released by a label so it's probably a white label release of some sort - DJKC

Sorting

Notes on Japanese sorting: Japanese is organized into rows for the alphabet. Order is a, i, u, e, o for vowels. (Hepburn romanization used for all of the English)

あ行 (A row) is: あA いI うU えE おO

か行 (KA row) is: かKA がGA きKI ぎGI くKU ぐGU けKE げGE こKO ごGO

さ行 (SA row) is: さSA ざZA しSHI じJI すSU ずZU せSE ぜZE そSO ぞ ZO

た行 (TA row) is: たTA だDA ちCHI ぢJI つTSU づZU てTE でDE とTO どDO

な行 (NA row) is: なNA にNI ぬNU ねNE のNO

は行 (HA row) is: はHA ばBA ぱPA ひHI びBI ぴPI ふFU ぶBU ぷPU へHE べBE ぺPE ほHO ぼBO ぽPO

ま行 (MA row) is: まMA みMI むMU めME もMO

や行 (YA row) is: やYA ゆYU よYO

ら行 (RA row) is: らRA りRI るRU れRE ろRO (and by extension because of japanese phonetics: LA LI LU LE LO)

わ行 (WA row) is: わWA をWO んN

Sorting is done by the reading of the name in hiragana. For example that is highly different from English sorting, the band 175R is pronounced Inago Rider so the sort name is いなごらいだー and it goes under I in the A row. For an example of one that does sort similar to how it would in English, the artist AI is also pronounced Ai so her sort name is あい and it goes under A in the A row. Similarily the band dorlis is pronounced Doorisu so their sort name is どーりす and it goes under DO in the TA row.

If you don't know the reading of a Japanese group/artist name then try searching Listen.jp for the artist name. If it's on there, and most Japanese artists should be, on the artist page it gives hiragana and katakana readings of the name. If you can't read Japanese at all or figure out the sort then just add the artist under the "need to sort still" heading.

Discussion

Added some possibly chinese artists but is not sure. place holder until can be established. kiara, could you please tell me how to enter esoteric characters without everything going to heck? thank you. ~mo

Corrected the symbols but neither of those are Japanese. Names look Chinese to me. As for entering, copy and pasting works fine depending on your browser and encoding settings within it. - DJKC

I've moved those over to the Chinese page (Google confirmed that they're Chinese not Japanese). I just copy and paste and it works, but that's not very helpful. :) Check what encoding your browser thinks the page is, the page is being sent as Latin1, so I assume that's what the wiki expects, if yours is set to Shift-JIS or something, that's probably why. --Kiara

Added several artists, some without links because they're not yet in MB as a sort of TODO list. - DJKC
