Default Getting VLC to recognise japanese CDs

Hi,
VLC doesn't retrieve correct album/track information for most of my japanese CDs, for example this: https://vgmdb.net/album/72173, whereas Windows Media Player gets it just fine. I think I understand that WMP uses Gracenote's proprietary cddb server, which is why it has access to more data than vlc.
Is there a cddb server I can use with vlc that will recognise my CDs? I have looked at this thread: https://vgmdb.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2618. I don't understand whether those servers are just for tagging programs, or if I can use them with vlc, and how I would go about doing that. I'm not sure I understand any of this stuff, really. I am finding it impossible to find support online. Hopefully someone can help me here.
Many thanks.
