The current song/music tagging system has gotten a lot of complains in the past, and I'm all for having a better one, but most attempts at solving it failed because there were just too many things to fix. Sorry for being the party pooper, but if we want to make progress here I hope we can clear out a few things and establish guidelines before further execution.

If we follow this new format of artist qualifier, it can bring many benefits. Ending the fight of songs featuring multiple vocal synthesizers, or songs having multiple official versions featuring different singers. And most importantly, if we apply this to human songs, this will end the complete madness of qualifier inconsistency. This will also make artist wildcarding possible, as many suggested.

BUT what about...
0. Some artists have more than one alias, or has performed both as an solo artist and in a group
1. Songs that are collaborations between multiple producers? (e.g. Star Night Snow as SimpleName mentioned)
2. Songs that are commercially commissioned? (e.g. love live!, #compass, project sekai, magical mirai and countless anime OPEDs)
3. Songs featuring a well-known human singer? (e.g. topic #25915)
4. Old anime songs that are currently gentags? (e.g. don't say "lazy", god knows...)
