Yes I know the first one should be used in English and the second one should be not. The first charater I said is the second one you said, and the second one I typed is another one.

Well, I just got a wiki page for these characters:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilde

Now it is much clear.

These two can be found in many pages in freedb, VGMdb and MusicBrainz in various album titles and track titles:
~ U+FF5E FULLWIDTH TILDE
〜 U+301C WAVE DASH

They are very similar and both takes two spaces.

This page might be the key:

My Japanese is not good, it would be nice if someone would like to translate it.
