[edit] Kazuhiko Kato redirect

Your redirect notice on Monkey Punch had been removed because there was no article at Kazuhiko Kato (musician), so it was useless. Since you say the musician Kato is more notable than Monkey Punch, I have now created a disambiguation page at Kazuhiko Kato, and once there is an article for Kazuhiko Kato (musician), it will probably stay. If you can provide references asserting the musician Kato's notability, feel free to start an article on him. -kotra 01:24, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kazuhiko Kato (musician)

I was impressed by the article you created, Kazuhiko Kato (musician). It's very well written and complete for a new article. I hope you don't mind, but I noticed some small grammar mistakes which I've corrected, and I've changed some of the wording so the meaning is more clear. Hopefully the original meaning is still the same, but if it isn't, feel free to change it back. Anyway, thanks for a great article! Unlike most new articles, I'm sure this one won't be deleted. -kotra 22:34, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Japanese music charts

Oricon is not the first Japanese company to provide retail music charts, and are not the hit parade. Tokushin Music Reports were the first company to provide retail music charts in Japan, which started in 1962 and is still active today. They are also regarded as the number 1 provider of retail sales data, with much larger outlets as partners and have partnerships with record labels. 220.253.40.207 (talk) 11:47, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Oricon has been internationally known as the utmost eminent Japanese record charts , being regarded as the indicator of that country's music industry.[1][2][3] By contrast, most of contents on the official site of Tokushin has been unavailable since 2005. At present, like Australian Kent Music Report which was displaced by ARIA Charts in the late 1980s, the lesser-known Record Tokushin is no longer reliable source. In addition, archives of Year-End Charts by Tokushin haven't indicated precise values of shipments.[4] It's not enough to prove that Oricon's announcement is wrong. I partially agree to your suggestion that prefaces of article stated about Japanese musicians should be somewhat rewritten, but your edits seems to be excessive. I hope that you'll read WP:V again before removing referenced sentences. If you'll argue that your opinion is completely right, please cite alternative concrete sources that indicated about accurate sales figures announced by more reliable organization than Oricon.--- zoizoiz2 16:17, 20 December 2007(UTC)
That is not what the Oricon article says at all. Do not add rubbish into Wiki articles, especially if you can't read the original source. Futhermore, Tokushin sales reports are not available to the general public. It is an industry only service requiring login. The links you provided were utter nonsense. You also posted rubbish in the article stating that it was after Oricon had started, which is a lie. There are many other Japanese musicians with higher sales such as YMO (who formed a long time after Oricon) Its editors like you, who give the Wikipedia a bad name. 220.253.19.199 (talk) 23:05, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
If the Tokushin charts are not available to the general public so that your alleged sales information can be verified, then they can not be used. Content must be verifiable, and Oricon information is verifiable. Therefore, Oricon information is acceptable, and Tokushin information is not. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 01:30, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
It is not "alleged" sales information. References were already provided (including one from Oricon) Furthermore, Tokushin did not disclose that information, it was the record companies. 220.253.146.104 (talk) 21:15, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
The IP user's unsourced insistences are too far from the facts.. I agree the opinion that Yellow Magic Orchestra is the most internationally influential and renowned music act in the music industries. However, they haven't gained enormous industrial success in any countries. I'd like to know how they've sold more than 50 million albums and singles in worldwide. They haven't produced any million-selling records even in their country, except their breakthrough LP Solid State Survivor which was released in 1979. [5][6] In the United States, they managed to produce two charting albums on the Billboard 200 in the early 1980s. [7] In the United Kingdom, they have once appeared the top-40 on the Singles Chart in 1980, but their materials failed to enter the hit charts of other European nations. Their name not remains on any chart archives. Vast scales of Japanese music markets have developed in the 1990s. Almost half of Japanese million-selling records were released in the last 17 years. Yellow Magic Orchestra is certainly one of the most significant Japanese groups in the 1970s and 80's, but they are not necessarily commercially successful ones in the entire history of Japanese popular music.---zoizoiz2 09:33, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
Links were clearly provided (including one from Oricon, and English written references) I'm not going to hunt down the Japanese musicians with the most record sales, including YMO to continue your pathetic little argument. 220.253.146.104 (talk) 21:15, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

That is not what the Oricon article says. 220.253.44.239 (talk) 09:40, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
