In general, I try to match translations with whatever the case style is (if there is one), but that's an interesting argument. I've never thought about it like that.

Question: what do you think should be done with translations if the album has normal title caps for its English titles, like the La Pucelle OST? By the same argument, the translated titles should be set in all caps or something to set them apart from the titles that were already in English, right?
