"Fanclub" is not an English word, but a lot of fan clubs call themselves fanclubs, so it might be about to change in the near future.

I think we need both yi_er_fan_club_(vocaloid) and ii_aru_fan_club_(vocaloid) but I'm not sure which one should be aliased to the other one.

Agree. Personally, I'm leaning towards ii_aru_fan_club_(vocaloid) because the song is Japanese and corresponding pixiv tag is いーあるふぁんくらぶ, but this is a pretty minor point. Either would be fine.

BUR #5872 has been approved by @evazion.

rename yie_ar_fan_club_(vocaloid) -> yi_er_fan_club_(vocaloid)
create alias ii_aru_fan_club_(vocaloid) -> yi_er_fan_club_(vocaloid)
create alias 1_2_fan_club_(vocaloid) -> yi_er_fan_club_(vocaloid)

As stated above. Making the Japanese title the default one sounds logical.

Usually if the Japanese title contains loanwords (transliterated into Japanese), we use the corresponding English transliterations instead of transliterating the Japanese transliteration of the original, further obscuring the original loanword.

Like Bocca Della Verita (vocaloid) instead of Bokka Dera Berita. And that song doesn't even have Italian elements, unlike "Yi Er Fan Club", which is loaded with it, including having multiple Chinese phrases and Rin And Len dressing up in Chinese-themed costumes with panda hoods.

One might raise the argument that "yi er" is written in hiragana, but some 'common' Chinese phrases may be written that way sometimes, and "ふぁんくらぶ" is also in "hiragana", which we are already using "fan club" for instead of going through double transliteration into "fan kurabu".

We can go for the alternative and use numbers. My argument for making it Japanese is that I've encountered many things in Japanese on Danbooru. I can edit the BUR if we agree on one specific name.
