"Yuki Kajiura Friends Solo" subforum in Yuki Kajiura forum?

grunty

I have reached Yuki nirvana
What do you think? Perhaps someone can come up with a better name though, lol.

A place where all non-Kajiura related Yuuka/Kaida/Kasahara/etc or even Korenaga stuff could/should go. Right now it's all over the place with some threads for the same artist being in Everything Yuki and some in Otakuland...

Or perhaps we could just decide where it should go - Everything Yuki or Otakuland and move it all around so it's not messy. :)

Pretty please 2 consider?
 
it's not good to spread the threads too thin, so maybe can grunty make this topic a poll for whether we should use "everything yuki" or "otakuland"? And after the decision we can edit the name/description of that board accordingly
 
Me thinks they should go at Otakuland, because even though they are friends of Yuki in their thread we talk about their solo work. :XD:
 
+ 1
It's not like them being in Otakuland will make them LESS related to Yuki in the course of respective collaboration periods.
btw, there are a quite a lot of topics here and there that would look better off in Otakuland. :ayashii:
 
I think they should be moved to Otakuland. For example Yuuka's new single is in no way related to Yuki (unfortunately) and the theard suits more to Otakuland subforum :tea:
 
Here's a 15 month old thread I've decided to bump.

I first found this thread many months ago and thought Grunty had raised a good point. But I also thought that mabye it wasn't a tacktful idea for a newbie to start commenting on how the forum is organised.

I've come back to this thread because I've just seen a new Kaori Oda thread make it's appearance. I wondered what the score was? With a little help from the search function I found 18 threads about Kaori.

So then I wondered about Yuki's other principal vocalists. It's a bit like a popularity poll. The search function found:
  • 21 Keiko threads,
  • 18 Yuuka threads,
  • 11 Wakana threads,
  • 10 Hiraru threads,
  • 7 Yuriko threads,
  • 4 Chiaki threads,
  • and 3 Saeko threads.

These threads are scattered throughout the forum. People don't use the search function to find an appropriate thread for their contributions. They just start another thread. There is a thread called "Yuuka Nanri" and another called "Nanri Yuuka". Both started by the same user.

Collectively these threads contain large amounts of interesting information. Information which is effectively lost to all but the most dedicated users of the search function. There is nothing wrong with multiple threads. It helps to deal with specialised subjects separately from the idle chatter. But maybe we could group like threads together a little better than we currently do?
 
Maybe we could do sticky threads under Otakuland, since in those thread we talk about their solo works, and not those related to Yuki Kajiura. I could also merge some of them if their subjects match. Thanks for the help rian!
 
I have plenty of information for a Koichi-san solo thread... :innocent: :ohoho:
 
Keiko has the most threads :ayashii: I'm not surprised :XD:

I support the sticky threads under Otakuland idea :tea: there's a thread on Yuriko and Hikaru currently in Everything Yuki...

Is that because you see Keiko fans as a bunch of scatter-brains who can never remember where they left their previous thread? The Chiaki fans are the best organised. They've been maintaining a single thread for some time now.

If I was moderator (be greateful that I'm not) the Yuki Kajiura section of the forum would expand from the two sub-sections it is now:
  • Everything Yuki
  • FictionJunction.blog
to three sub-sections:
  • Yuki's Projects and Works
  • Yuki's Musicians and Vocalists
  • FictionJunction.blog

Then all the existing threads (including all the stuff currently in Otakuland and General & Spam) would be reassigned to the most appropriate category. That's all.
 
Sorry but the ones that are in the General and Spam cant go to non of your categories. Same goes for creative corner.

Also imo the only thing that's needed is to place some threads in the appropriate board and merge some of them.

[EDIT]

Okay so I merged all the Yuuka related stand alone threads into 2:

Yuuka Nanri > 1) Yuuka Nanri solo singing career thread 2) Yuuka Nanri seiyuu carrer

All Yuuka solo singing (.hack quantum, tsukishirube, shizuku, lives) will go in that thread

will later make a collaborations thread were will go the Yuuka x Asuka thread, the live along with Chiaki etc

will also make copies of the posts that are in the Sacred Seven thread into the Yuuka solo carrer one. damn that can't be done it seems.

[EDIT 2]

Tidied Yuriko's threads too. Now there is one thread in Everything Yuki for her Yuki related fanboy/girling and one in Otakuland for her solo carrer, Tomorrow will do Kaori and maybe someone else too. There one "Yuriko?" thread which I dont know with which to merge however.

I'm probably biased, but I think that's a very good idea! :sparkleguy:

:omg: no, she just seems to be the most popular vocalist to me :XD:

sorry, no offence was intended... :spotlight:

@george: thanks for all the hard work :bow: :sohappy:
 
Kaori Oda merges done.
These threads

Kaori Oda participating in 2 tracks in “Ouzoku BAND”
Kaori will be in Haruka Shimotsuki's new Fantasy Vocal album
Kaori-chan look-alike?!
Kaori Oda in WILD ARMS XF
Request for kaori oda picture
non-Yuki/non-Revo Kaori Oda songs
PSP Game「AMNESIA LATER」Theme Songs (Vocal:Kaori Oda)

Have been merged into
Kaori Oda non-Yuki solo + collabs (non-Sound Horizon)

I also merged one called
Sound Horizon and Kaori Oda videos

into the Sound Horizon thread.
^^
 
Okay now that the vocalists with (active) solo carrer are done, we dont need to do the merges for the rest unless they have the exact same subject.
 
Hi, can the Otakuland description be updated to include the fact that solo careers of YK artists are included there?

It seems to me that some of the changes that have been made institutionalise rather than cure the problem.

I'm entirely supportive of the decision to merge the "Yuuka Nanri" and "Nanri Yuuka" threads. That's common sense.

But I was not actually arguing for the merger of threads. Rather I was arguing for theads about the same musician or vocalist to be grouped together in the same sub-section of the forum. That should effectively stop the needless prolifieration of threads.

Musicians work with other musicians who in their turn work with other musicians. There tend not to be clear boundaries between works and often no clear boundaries between projects. There are clear boundaries between musicians/vocalists, each of whom has a discrete body of work to their credit. Compartmentalisation does not promote meaningful discussion and does not work without clear boundaries between the compartments. I don't think you can do meaningful compartmentalistion of the basis of projects and works.

Returning to Kaori Oda as example, suppose I want to make a post about the "Calling" single. I might want to say "Calling is absolutley brilliant but the b-side is excruciating". Given the current structure, I have to post the first half of that sentence in "Everything Yuki" ("Calling" is a Kajiura work) and the second half of the sentence in Otakuland (because the b-side isn't by Yuki). That's nonsense.

The minimalist structure of this forum is an asset. It helps to maintain a cozy, friendly atmosphere. The paradox is that friendly forums tend to grow. Eventually that growth poses the question 'does our structure now need to become slightly less minimalist?'. But 'slightly less minimalist' is a very different thing to rigid compartmentalisation.

It seems that Kaori fans now have to maintain a minimum of three compartmentalised threads. One thread for her Yuki works, another thread [awkwardly entitled Kaori Oda non-Yuki solo + collabs (non-Sound Horizon)] for her non-Yuki work and a third thread for her Sound Horizon work, since discussion of this is now apparently excluded from the non-Yuki thread. Where does discussion of "Tsukiakari to Ito Guruma ~Alies ol iok~" go? Both Haruka and Kaori are members of Sound Horizon. The song has the style and structure of a Sound Horizon song but it's not credited to Sound Horizon.

This fragmentation of discussions is artificial and does not work well. It is a cause of confusion, and it is this confusion which leads people to spawn a proliferation of threads.
