Talk:Self-Cover

I think this needed a definition because the singer-songwriter part isn't that obvious and someone asked what a self-cover was on a forum the other day. I think it's only a Japanese term. (Google "self-cover" and you get nothing, and on Wikipedia there's only a page for the Japanese version.) Does Category:Self-Cover sound like a good idea? --Lambchopsuey 03:34, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

I don't think it's really a Japanese-exclusive term, I swear I heard it on ONTD last month...gah (>_<)'' Wish I remembered more specifically haha~! Can't say I knew the bit about the singer-songwriter part, so that's kinda nifty. I like the category idea! ~ Wapiko 03:48, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
The page is great. That's strange though, because I feel like I've heard it in reference to American pop songs. I can only think of a few examples in American music, and they don't seem to call them self-cover though. For the category though, should it be for songs, singles, or albums? ~ Themonkeyofdoom 04:01, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
Category:Self-Cover Songs and Category:Self-Cover Albums? --Lambchopsuey 04:46, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
That works, lol. ~ Themonkeyofdoom 05:54, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
