Just because it's in the same line as the song title doesn't mean it's part of the song title. If that's the case, then every song on this album has ★☆◯◎※ symbols in the title, and every song on this album has one of ⒶⒷⒸⒹⒺ in the title, and every song on this album has "Composition & Arrangement: XXXX" in the title, and I could keep doing this for a long time but honestly that would waste my life compiling it and your life reading it.

If you want to make the argument that including those would be silly because those marks are just there to signify information about the song separate from the title, that's exactly the same argument I'm making here about the game titles. The game titles and song titles are each in their own separate columns, just as they were on the Nintendo site under the headers "game title" and "song title." It's just additional information about the songs.

And I get that it's a pain in the ass to have to jump to the notes to find out which of fifteen staff rolls is which, but you have to do that on every album in the database anyway to look up composers, singers, and all that jazz. The game titles aren't special in that respect.
