Yes. And in the context of Fate/stay, 約束された勝利の剣 is
said "Excalibur," so it should go in the romaji tracklist. The pronunciation is not explicitly noted on this album, which is why I pasted from Wikipedia.

Are you saying that if something has an established pronunciation, but that pronunciation isn't given on the album, then we should disregard that pronunciation and use a literal reading of the Japanese characters? That seems weird. What's the point of a romaji tracklist if it's not how the titles are pronounced?
