So, I guess what you are asking is this:

We don't literally translate a game's name, because we consider it a sort of proper name. Should we treat the titles of OP and ED themes the same way, and leave them in Romaji (particularly when it shows up in the album title)?

I haven't thought much about this problem, and I know that there are examples of these ways in some of our albums.
