I wasn't initially sure whether this tag follows our policies. In my experience, we generally tag stylized copyright names like htol#niq: hotaru no nikki as such, but howto:copyright says this:

Please follow howto:romanize. Do not include symbols such as ☆ † ♪ ♥. Do include any punctuation such as ! $ & + ? . (Please note that the comma, the asterisk, and the percent sign cannot be used in tags.) Replace × with the letter "x".

While the @ sign could be argued to be a punctuation mark (formally, it's an abbreviation and symbol, not a punctuation mark) it is obviously not serving the function of punctuation in "The iDOLM@STER" even if it is one, so I think the tag either it needs to be changed or howto:copyright needs to be updated to reflect our current tagging practices.

Also, $ isn't a punctuation mark either. This doesn't affect a single copyright and is only used in five tags period (four of which are artist tags and one of which is a convenience alias,) so I'm just going to take it off the list.

Also, htol#niq: hotaru no nikki should likely be changed too, but I'll wait to hear other opinions.
