Artist profiles

• new feature Artists' areas of activity are now automatically pulled from correctly-formatted bio entries with the tag -formation or -activity. This works with either romaji, Japanese, or both.

• DIR EN GREY forms in osaka. -formation

• The band moves to 名古屋. -activity

• The band moves again, to Tokyo (東京). -activity

In the future, this will allow us to easily build a list of bands which are active in each area, as envisioned by @seraphim.

• new feature Similarly, artists' name pronunciations are also now automatically pulled from correctly-formatted bio-entries, this time tagged either -formation or -name. The katakana or hiragana spelling must directly follow a correctly formatted artist link:

• DIR EN GREY (ディルアングレイ) forms in Osaka. -formation

• The band changes its name to MIRAGE (ミラージュ). -name

• new feature For bands which have a pronunciation specified, there's now a button in the band statistics box that will say the band's name with a [decently] correct Japanese accent. (e.g. Qual Dienërv)

Other stuff

• bug fix Got automatic dev posts working AGAIN, at least until the next time it breaks 👿
