I mean, terms such as Ryuseiken are valid for romaji tracklists but if there is some translation into english of those terms I don't see the point in including them into english tracklists.

It's like you translate Ryu's Hadouken or Goku's Kame-hame-ha into english. I know "Metor Fist" is the english adaptation to the anime if I remember correctly but it seems to much forced

In most of the cases, when there is hiragana or katakana written over kanji is to indicate the pronunciation, for that reason in the case of "聖闘士神話" I've translated as "Soldier Dream", and I know that is not exactly the meaning of the original tracktitle, but that's another discussion. Forced reading prevails over meaning of kanjis, that's how I see it.

It's the same of the classic album also on the Eternal Box we have "Saint Shinwa (Soldier Dream)(Instrumental)" to make difference to the vocal/arrange track by Broadway

This scan is the only one that I've seen that contains information about the musicians of this legendary orchestra, and I'd like to know who performed under that 'Ad Hoc' orchestra. So, if you can provide better scans or images with better resolution to identify the performers, your help or any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hope I'll do soon
