OK, since you asked for them and I'm currently waiting for everyone else
to awake from their overeating induced slumber...
example 1:
http://avexnet.jp/item/3rdxm/disc/product/AVCD-30828.htmlCD title:
3rd X'mas
CD artist:
released as 3rd X'mas featuring dream+長澤奈央+SweetS+星井七瀬+嘉陽愛子+
PARADISE GO!! GO!!+斉藤未知.
Tracks:
1. Giant X'mas~友情にリボン~
2. 希望の歌'05 ~Merry Christmas to you~
3. Giant X'mas~友情にリボン~ (Instrumental)
4. 希望の歌'05 ~Merry Christmas to you~ (Instrumental)
It's a collaboration between the groups dream, SweetS, & PARADISE GO!!
GO!! with the solo artists 長澤奈央, 星井七瀬, 嘉陽愛子, & 斉藤未知. 23
girls total on the song. Current policy depending on your
interpretation would be either randomly select one artist out of that
bunch and add the rest as feat. Otherwise add 3rd X'mas featuring
dream+長澤奈央+SweetS+星井七瀬+嘉陽愛子+PARADISE GO!! GO!!+斉藤未知 or
dream+長澤奈央+SweetS+星井七瀬+嘉陽愛子+PARADISE GO!! GO!!+斉藤未知 or
3rd X'mas and stick all their names in a feat. If any of the latter
three were used then collaborated ARs would have to be added from all
the groups and solo artists to the collaborative artist, although it's
not entirely clear if a single "dream collaborated on 3rd X'mas" AR
should be used for the whole group or if the individual members of dream
should be ARed to the collaboration one.
Also, it's "3rd X'mas" because this is their third year of doing a
Christmas super collaboration. The previous two years had similar but
smaller (only ~12 girls) ones
The label Avex is also confused about how to handle it, with this year's
one under "3rd X'mas featuring dream+長澤奈央+SweetS+星井七瀬+嘉陽愛子+
PARADISE GO!! GO!!+斉藤未知" but last year
http://avexnet.jp/item/dskxx/disc/product/AVCD-30677.html is under
"dream+SweetS+嘉陽愛子" in their artists list and two years ago
http://avexnet.jp/item/dfsxx/disc/product/AVCD-30551.html is under
"dream+フルーツポンチ+SweetS" even though all three have been released
under the "xx X'mas featuring <artists>" formatting.
