Talk:Tsuki (song)

EP

Are there any good sources that call Tsuki an EP, like the official site or music press? If not, I'm going to move this to a (song) page. --Prosperosity (talk) 10:28, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi @Prosperosity: :) I'll front up and say that I made it an EP (well created it as Tsuki (EP)) only because it features three tracks and the CD single has over 20 minutes play and charted together on Oricon with the b-sides. However, Amuro and her label Dimension Point DOES state that Tsuki is in fact a "single", so I believe it can be moved as a "song" page if you want to, but the article will have to be re-written as it refers to the Tsuki CD and the title track individually. Also, the other tracks "Ballerina" and "Neonlight Lipstick" may need to receive their own respective Wikipedia page as all three individual tracks charted on the Japan Hot 100, the airplay chart and were released on different dates. iTunes Store has it as an EP actually, but this is a bit unreliable because a lot of other conjunction singles feature "EP" or "Single". But that decision is up for you I guess, this is only my statement. Thank you. CaliforniaDreamsFan (talk · contribs} 02:37, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, iTunes calls everything that's 1-2 tracks a single and anything longer than that an EP (unless it's an album). Since we're not a primary source, we don't usually have a mandate to dictate what is and isn't a single, so the best we can do is reflect what her official site/the music press term it. I'll have a look through the article tonight and see if I can work it into a (song) article, then see what you think and if we need anything else!

Oh, great job on all of Namie's pages btw! --Prosperosity (talk) 07:56, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Random J

Why so many references to Random J on Namie articles? Is he a legit reviewer? Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I believe his blog is a fan blog at best. I'm not slamming the guy; just questioning whether he's credible enough to deserve the mentions on what is supposed to be a professional article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.55.43.231 (talk) 01:43, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Tsuki (Namie Amuro song)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Tsuki (Namie Amuro song)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "albumnotes":

• From Contrail (song): Amuro, Namie (2013). Feel (CD album; Liner notes). Namie Amuro. Japan: Avex Trax, Avex Music Creative Inc., Dimension Point. AVCN-99003.
• From Baby Don't Cry (Namie Amuro song): Amuro, Namie (2007). Play (CD album; Liner notes). Namie Amuro. Japan: Avex Trax, Avex Entertainment Inc. AVCD-23343.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 05:16, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
