We have an FFR permission to use hololive original songs (not covers) except the ones listed in the appendix of the Derivative Works Guidelines.

Rhythm game charts are generally considered derivative works. Even with the guideline's definition, charting is definitely a creative endeavor so I'd say they count.

The part of the text that stumped me the most was the following in the "Guidelines for Use of Music" section:



which does not seem to include charts.

However, this is in fact a slight mistranslation and the Japanese (original) text says (emphasis mine):



which permits all kinds of derivative works; the bolded "等の二次的著作物" translates to "derivative works such as ..." and "等の作品" to "works such as ..."

I think this link is the list of original songs.

I'm considering taking advantage of this, and because I checked the spread sheet and wanna be sure, would staff here consider this acceptable? It hasn't been added yet.
