You'd probably be more well known if you translated a variety more songs-nothing wrong with focusing on your favorite voicebanks/composers though--and more active on YT? Numbers aren't everything though (and from what i've seen you actually ask permission from composers right? I don't think hazuki and her team asked any composers since they thought they'd be safe under free use? As far as I know the bigger composers don't mind/don't care b/c their stuff would get reposted everywhere no matter what but I can understand some newer composers getting upset even if the intention was to make the song/lyrics more accessible to a foreign audience)

I do songs that I (1) can translate, (2) like, and (3) can do legally. Also, Len gets more views, and since he's also my favourite, I give him priority and sneak in others occasionally. But yes that limits what I do, especially doing it legally (either released with CC licence, or ask for and receive permission).

Next year, I'll try broaden the range of styles a bit. Not this year though as I'm busy with a Kagamine 10th anniversary project.

Actually I don't think it's bigger vs smaller. Some lesser known producers have been grateful for subbing their songs. I think they realise it helps give them exposure.
