OVA: (Type) OVA = Original Video Animation. These are the direct-to-video anime titles done in Japan. Often, OVAs can start a franchise (Tenchi Muyou! Ryououki), start a TV series (Mahou Tsukai Tai!), be a sequel to a TV series (Love Hina Again), or be a stand-alone title (Aa! Megami-sama! OVA). Sometimes, the OAVs are named the same as the TV series and thus will sometimes have the term OVA listed after the title's name to separate it.
Music: (Story/Location) If a title deals with music as significant element of the story, and / or the lead characters are musicians and this is significant for their role in the story, then use this keyword. Idol Project is a story about the pop business, Aquarian Age is a story about a rock band, Rahxephon is about using music to 'retune the world' - they all belong into this category.

He quickly proves his worth as the lead singer and a songwriter, but whenever he dons the Krauser costume, he becomes a completely different person – a loud vulgar monster yelling insulting profanities beyond anyone's imagination.
