And arguably, they could have also used proper capitalization on any tracks for all we know but chose not to. We don't know anything about the capitalization, because Japanese characters are not English words, and the two are not really comparable or easily interchangeable (and romaji typically has no capitalization standards anyway). My point was that in this album, whenever writing something in English, they chose to use full caps, when they could have just as easily written that track in Japanese and then it would magically no longer be in caps when we get to it? When we write it in English, shouldn't we also use full caps? It feels sort of like taking something that was originally written in caps and changing it to proper capitalization (except we don't officially know because it's kanji / kana). It feels sort of like I'm missing the point if I don't put it in full caps.

I still won't change anything though, thanks for letting me know.
