I think we had this debated in other castlevania albums, and the general consensus was that the best way is to use the english title given on the side of the case (you can see it on the "back" image). This is the soundtrack for the Japanese games and there's very little to allow us to use the western adaptation of the names. Not to be anal but, changing one this way would mean apply the same criteria to all the others. You are applying two different criteria for this and CotM/HoD. If we follow the English title on the side of the case, as in cotm/hod, this should stay Akumajo Dracula Akatsuki etc etc.

I also think that romanization is better than attempt to (debatable) translation. Examples: Ubawarata Kokuin > Stolen Seal; Mokushiroku > Apocalypse etc etc.

The AoS disc suffers from very poor recording quality - you can find mp3s recorded by fans at castlevania dungeon and the quality is much better. Let's hope they record it from scratch for the upcoming Special Box.
