So I'm an bebby when it comes to Chinese vocals, and I know like five words of Mandarin, so please forgive my ignorance.
Is the process of getting VSQs from Bilibili usually harder than getting them from Nico or YouTube? I found one for a Xin Hua song months ago, and it took tons of digging and a special app to bypass the process of signing up outside of mainland China just to reach the VSQ, and that was after someone posted a link to the downloads on YouTube. I've been listening to one song on repeat for the past few days, and a VSQ of it exists on Bilibili, as well as a few covers, meaning it and its off-vocal are being passed around somewhere. (That one in particular I'd love to have for when I inevitably cave and get a Mandoloid or one of the Medium5 girls.) Another cover of a different song got posted to YouTube, and they linked back to the original video for the VSQ, where the VSQ info was just 见群共享。(which Google says means "See Group Sharing.")
So... are Bilibili VSQs just one of those things you can't reach unless you either speak Mandarin or a kindly soul puts its link on YouTube? Or is there a website where they get shared around that you could, in theory, access and find VSQs? I'd like to think there's some hope.
