Line 6:
=== Release classification ===
 
In her page, she has three main categories for releases: Singles, Extended Plays, and Albums. However, a closer examination shows that all of the releases in Extended Plays are actually [Double-sided Singles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-side_and_B-side) Double-sided Singles], with 1 or 2 songs on its "A-side", and their corresponding Karaoke versions on their "B-side". This is supported by actual releases in the general Japanese industry; for example, SMAP's best selling single, "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sekai_ni_Hitotsu_Dake_no_Hana Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana]", follows this exact double-sided format.
 
Other pages have them, correctly, as singles (i.e. [[Tokino Sora|Sora]]'s). Few talents in hololive have released actual EPs ([[Mori Calliope|Calli]] being the most prominent in this regard). It is likely that this mis-classification is due to how music platforms classify releases, as they automatically assign a classification based on the '''number of tracks''': These platforms see ''4 tracks'' and classify it as an ''EP'', when in reality is two tracks in two different versions, or a double-sided single.
Line 33:
* '''EP/LP''': Information about an EP/LP. These will technically have less information than Song pages, with a stronger focus on track listing and other information connected with its release(i.e. promotional materials, events, etc.)
 
All the information in these pages must be properly cited, preferably with official sources. For the kind of formatting/information we could include in these pages, see some examples from Wikipedia: the same-single songs [Ryuusei](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryūsei_(Eir_Aoi_song)) Ryuusei] and [Yakusoku](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakusoku_(Eir_Aoi_song)) Yakusoku], and the album [Blau](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blau_(album)) Blau] by Japanese artist Eir Aoi.
