If it is available and that title is used consistently by other sources (shops, etc.), yes.

Compare to our entry here.

(Note, this may be a trick question, in that it's debatable whether Lantis is actually trying to communicate a title here. Their format looks more like Platform Category "Game" / Classification. Still, it's what we've got)

Yeah, that's an odd case, but "TVアニメ『キミキス pure rouge』 キャラクターソングアルバム" seems to be the title. This is also what shops list it as. For instance see: rakuten, Amazon, iTunes, etc.

Edit: also this search for that title gives 104 results whereas searching for the title in the database gives us 14 results (both result counts are without omitted results.)

I can't think of too many off the top of my head, they're out there however (you presented one more.)

Problem here is it hurts searchability, unless the title without the macron is included as an alternate.
