I've become significantly attached to the game for: -unexpected cheery as heck story atmosphere...at least in the beginning. (with how the intro/tutorial of the game lets us go through the characters gradually in quite an interesting, attaching way. ...W-we're bound to go down this roller coaster later, aren't we.) -Songs: rediscovery & recognition of Maeda Jun X Yanagi Nagi 「やなぎ なぎ」, coming from the Owari no Hoshi no Love Song album; and to by extension Perfect Day by Supercell. -Music, of course. As expected, it's got good loops already, and I am just...entranced. among other things.
It's such a shaaame though, I am obliged *not* to publish any tracks from it. Visual Key has been seen striking other channels for it. That's understandable, as it is according to their streaming guidelines: =========== ■ About the music used in this content but music extracting or posting data for the purpose of viewing or listening to audio is prohibited. > Prohibited Matter 9. The act of using the Contents in the story, movie scene, sound, or video for the main purpose of listening to the music of the Contents. -Google Translate (www.wfs.games/terms/contents_guideline_heavenburns… ) ===========
However, more of my concern is...this 3rd-party, "joint effort amongst some 4 companies" or something called "Molebeat Co. Ltd." (molebeat.co.jp/ ). They assume claims or even strikes for mostly anime-related stuff, allegedly in behalf of their respective creators, and they involved HBR works!? Though kinda fair, HBR plays like an anime...or rather visual novel. Unless I'm certain they won't claim such works allegedly in behalf of Visual Key/WFS, I am sadly much *less* motivated to publish anything HBR BGMloops-related, to avoid Molebeat claiming what Visual Key/WFS should be claiming for themselves.
I don't know; I'm not an expert with such things. I just try to avoid possible strike conflicts for this personal passion channel of mine. I don't like the restriction in-general as well, but moreso the people taking advantage of the system (in this case Molebeat). It is what it is. Please excuse me for playing it safe.
However...things might change in certain circumstances: perhaps it was a misclaim? A certain channel I looked into, which escalated my worry about this, has a whole HBR songs playlist (www.youtube.com/playlist?list... ) claimed by Molebeat instead of Visual Key. Looking around further, apparently this channel is home to a collection of *anime* songs; a definite fiesta of claims for Molebeat. They could be having a party with all these claims from this channel/user alone... Further, any video claimed by them are blocked from viewing in Japan; which then effectively blocks their whole HBR songs playlist from Japanese viewers (confirmed by JP-VPN-ing).
If in case Visual Key only claims it but not strike, I'd put them in. There are several, *several* other-user videos that're apparently claimed by VisualKey, and I'd rather have that than Molebeat. Besides, I'm more interested & focused in *BGMs* in-general; the songs are a side thing, if they're loopable at all.
So yeah. I might end up working on HBR BGM loops anyway, given the scattered HBR music around here are more songs than BGMs, if any. Otama-chan have been my favorite so far, so have Otama-chan; her freak-outs are adorable among other things!

In comparison, Blue Archive isn't restrictive with such, as far as I can understand. (bluearchive.jp/fankit/guidelines )
It doesn't look like it's changed overtime either. (web.archive.org/web/20210901175021/https://bluearc… )
