The problem with this is that official sites and vendors often use descriptive titles that aren't necessarily part of the album title. For example:

TVアニメ『キミキス pure rouge』 <- Platform 『Game Name』

キャラクターソングアルバム <- Album Title, without Game Name

Basically, official sites and vendors don't always provide correct information, as given on the album packaging. Both titles, tracklists and other information can be wrong since they don't necessarily have the same quality control (and anal-ness) we do - additionally information can be put up on sites before the album is finalized, and then never corrected.

It just seems illogical to follow such 'third-party' information ahead of what the album actually gives us.

When we have products up though, and when it comes to choosing how to display the name for a given product, then I think we can use the official site and such to determine what would be most fitting.
