→-- VTuber videos: Application of the "music video / MV" rule to VTuber videos
| Line 85: | Line 85: | ||
Many VTubers give virtual song performances as part of their online persona. This is especially true if the VTuber is also a {{short|t860|virtual idol}}, where the song performed is potentially a first-party song that is purposefully produced for that virtual idol. While it is possible that VTubers may be contracted by a song promoter to create a traditional MV to promote a traditional song, in the current (2021) context of the VTuber environment, most VTuber MVs are self-promoting. As such, by default, all VTuber MVs are not allowed on AniDB; VTuber MVs will only be added to AniDB on an exception basis. | Many VTubers give virtual song performances as part of their online persona.

<u>Example 1:</u> '''ShinySmilyStory''' by 'hololive ホロライブ - VTuber Group'' ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrsGNMMghKM YouTube link] is a VTuber MV which meets the animation rule and the professionally produced rule, given that the video is produced by a ''hololive'', a large corporation. However, the MV self-promotes a song created by hololive for its roster of VTubers. If idols in the MV were replaced with corporeal humans, this would be a live-action MV, which is clearly not anime. Similar to the general VTuber rule, this is an example of essentially "recording a selfie as themselves", only in song rather than as a vlog. | <u>Example 1:</u> '''ShinySmilyStory''' by ''hololive ホロライブ - VTuber Group'' ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrsGNMMghKM YouTube link]) is a VTuber MV which meets the animation rule and the professionally produced rule, given that the video is produced by a ''hololive'', a large corporation.
