Summary0003018: Creator-Char-Rel: allow creators of type musician/band to be added as seiyuu for any character
DescriptionCurrently this is not possible. It's not uncommon for singers to occasionally voice some characters (see Yui below). It's also not uncommon for a singer to have a seiyuu role but purely for the singing parts only (see Athena Glory below)

For example:
I cannot add Kawai Eri: https://anidb.net/cr3917
As a seiyuu for Athena Glory: https://anidb.net/ch8506
Eri was the singing voice for Athena.

Another example:
Singer LiSA: https://anidb.net/cr17439
Was added as a seiyuu for Yui: https://anidb.net/ch15118
Even though this is not possible. Looking at the creq history, trickzter had to cheat to do it, by temporarily making LiSA a seiyuu, adding the relation, then removing the seiyuu.

That's not the point; in many of these cases, the singer is NOT doing any voice-acting. For example, Kawai Eri is ONLY the singing voice, and does 0 voice acting for Athena, as well as 0 voice acting for any other character. Calling Kawai Eri a seiyuu wouldn't be correct; she needs to be linked to characters (Athena in this example) without also being called a seiyuu in the DB.

... unless you are saying the AniDB policy in this case, is to edit Kawai Eri to seiyuu regardless of the above? Do we have a policy on this?
