    Tag with Kanji. It says so in the Auto Correction guidelines. Map to the spelling in the artist's own language and character set (if applicable). E.g. map: Bjork -> Björk Ryuichi Sakamoto -> 坂本龍一

    Should we be tagging with Kanji characters or Romaji (Roman letters)?

    I'm loving Tak's music but I don't know if he's the best guitar player today, Guthrie Govan is a tough challenge.
