    отделит здесь кто-нибудь Rafael Martos Sánchez от остальных исполнителей?!?! Это оскорбительно даже, что нет отдельной страницы

    @CarryCornell How is it unfair to the Spanish Raphael? The Japanese band page is NOT the correct tag but people keep using it anyway 'cause it's the only way for the Japanese band to have a distinction. "Raphael" for the Japanese band is as wrong as "Rafael" is for the Spanish artist. Also last.fm rules state clearly -> "Please note that any other valid artist with the same name has the equal right to appear on such a shared profile, including their music, their pictures, their artist description and any other information on them. " I see nothing unfair here, except for some insults I read occasionally, often from the Spanish Raphael fans I have to say....

    I have a question: Is it possible to separate the Raphael-band from Japan, from Raphael - singer from Spain? Because this situation here is a little confusing.

    @a21thcenturytoy I'm listening to the visual kei band too, but sadly for now there is no way to fix this :/ unless you want to use the unicode tag Raphael which I refuse to since it's not the correct one.

    I was listening Visual Kei band Raphael, and not a spanish artist... I think Lastfm must fix it, with a new page for the japanese band.
