  • Whats so special about winning the competition? The competition is unnamed and probably not even notable by itself. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 05:43, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
Well, it's not common for voice actresses to have at some point in their lives joined a piano competition, let alone one outside their home country, as far as I know. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 07:08, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
  • @Narutolovehinata5:, could you please provide a verbatim translation of the Piano.or.jp source? Google Translate doesn't tell me she won the competition. I'd assume good faith here but given that the competition seems unknown, I'm sceptical. Also, I tried searching for Milan International Junior Competition Dispatch Audition (Google's translation on the same source) and found nothing. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 06:11, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
@Rsrikanth05: It appears that "Piano Talents in Milan" was the name of the competition, and according to the article, there were participants from 23 countries and that the main judge was a famous piano player from Italy (note that I used Google Translate here as my Japanese is too poor to fully understand it). The article is really really long and isn't even divided into paragraphs, but the relevant part appears to be 95点以上が第1位(復数可)、最高位と思うコンテスタントに98点以上をつけるルールの中、審査員全員からの満場一致の99点を頂いたそうで、最高位(ASSOLUTO:1名のみ)を頂くことができた。今回のコンクール全体での最高点にもなるのだそうで、本当に幸せな経験となった。 Part of that statement roughly translates to "got the top rank", and the last sentence roughly translated to "it was the highest score of the whole contest" (both translations courtesy of GT). Finally, the first paragraph of the article (which goes 黒田亜樹先生が主催した「ミラノ国際ジュニピアノコンクール派遣オーディション」にて選抜され、去る6月にイタリアのジュニア向け国際ピアノコンクール「Piano Talents」で、見事カテゴリー最高位に輝いた下岡萌々子(したおか・ももこ)さんと高尾奏音(たかお・かのん)さん。 mentions that Takao and a certain Momoko Shitaoka were the competition's two winners. Also note that her Japanese Wikipedia article (which I used as the basis for much of the Biography section) also states that she had won the competition.

In that case can someone who understands Japanese and doesn't need a translation service (that is prone to errors) please translate the source? --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 07:56, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
  • I think we can AGF on this. The article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:17, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
