Yeah but that would be the least common word on the title, reason I would search for, language would be irrelevant.

Both PlayAsia and CD Japan were wrong with the romanization of the very album we're talking about, although I do think retails are closer to the second source and generally trust them.
It is wrong but it looks right.

Yes, because of the information provided.

Off course it does, average users will always search first for western names before catalogue or romanization, just tell to the admin send you a search log and you will understand.

This is a database and I think that simplifying the search by using or link titlename of major retailers would be a plus for many users yet to come.

There is no pointing in continuing with this anymore. I hope most got my point.
