Community Profile

Welcome to the contemode lyrics community!
What is contemode? It is the record label of Nakata Yasutaka, which he made mainly as a base for his own band, capsule, but has other artists on the label. Since there are only a total of five artists on the label, however, the community extends to all works of Nakata Yasutaka. They’re pretty awesome and range in a variety of styles, from Shibuya-kei to electro. Here is where you get to share all his lyrics that you wish for.

So what goes here?
If Nakata-san did the sound production, composition, and/or lyrics for any given song, that song is in! The rest... are not. The only exception is copter4016882. They are on the contemode label, even if not produced musically by Nakata-san. And so, their contemode releases are in. Songs that are by normally Ystk-produced artists making exceptions (such as Omajinai Perori by Perfume or Reincarnation by Ami Suzuki) or songs remixed by Nakata-san (such as Beat in Love by Clazziquai Project or Kimi ni mune kyun by Toki Asako)... well, they don’t go here. Feel free to post them in your personal journals though~~ and please do!

How is the community organized?
Here, a system of categories, titles, and tags is in place.
There are three categories: Official, Unofficial, and Request.
→Official = Lyrics obtained from one of the following sources...
→lyrics booklet
→obi
Before you post official lyrics, you must have a confirmation. See below.
→Unofficial = Lyrics not obtained from one of the above sources, or obtained
from there without confirmation. Interpretations are Unofficial. If you wish to
discuss interpretations, please do so in the comments.
→Request = Self-explanatory. If you want lyrics not previously posted, request
here.
Titles should reflect the category, artist, and title. Examples:
→[Official] capsule - 神様の歌声/Kamisama no Utagoe
→[Unofficial] dahlia - 水色ジーナ/mizuiro JIINA
→[Request] Perfume - I still love U
Tags should also include this. Examples (for the same songs, respectively):
→official, capsule, 神様の歌声, kamisama no utagoe
→unofficial, dahlia, 水色ジーナ, mizuiro JIINA
→request, Perfume, I still love U
With these, you can either search the archive or the tags page effectively to find what you need.

Is there a format I should use for posting lyrics?
Yes, there is. Rather than explaining, let me give some links. Here are the layouts in PDF:
→Official: song in Japanese // song in English
→Unofficial: song in Japanese // song in English
→Request

Do I ~*really*~ need to provide a romanization?
Yes. However, if you can’t/don’t want to romanize yourself, then PM the kanji to me (autism10) and I’ll do the romanization for you.

Wait wait wait... confirmation for official lyrics? What’s that? O_O
It’s simple! All we want from official lyrics is a knowledge that they are official. Therefore, we need one of two types of images:
→Photo/screenshot of proof of receipt
→Photo of your album/single, preferably showing the part where lyrics are
shown.
The only requirement to these is that your LJ journal is in the background, in some way showing you are logged in and you took the photo.
Examples: photo of packing slip // screenshot of CDJapan order // photo of album
PM your image(s) to autism10 for approval.
This isn’t foolproof, but are you going to go through the trouble of faking it when it’s so easy to post under “Unofficial” if you don’t have the albums? =0 hope not XD

How should I post unofficial lyrics?
With the correct title, tags, and formatting (^_^)

How should I post requests?
With the correct title, tags, and formatting!! Also, just be polite when asking for them~~. Make sure that lyrics you are requesting have not been posted, please. One song per request post. If this means you must multiple-post, then go ahead.

But... but... but... I have another question!
Feel free to PM me (autism10) at any time for any reason. My privacy settings allow messages from everyone, so yeah~ all questions can be directed to me.

Enjoy the singing party!
