Is Arene the only possible romanization of アレーヌ? There aren't infos on this female singer, but listening her accent it seems a french singer.
Are there in France people called Arene? some sites report Alene but it should have a different writing in japanese.

bah Arène is fr for Arena
as a first name you have Alaine (female version of Alain)

don't see nothing else or it's an allusion to the Arènes de Lutèce (in paris, like La Seine is a river in paris)

It's most likely Arlène Tempier (アレーヌ タンピエ)

it's a strange "japanization" of a french name
I'd have japanized Arlène as アーレヌ (a-r-le-n) not as アレーヌ (a-le-n)

so is it a japanese typo?
I found this Japan EP, it reports "Arlene" as アルレーヌ.
Listening this song compared the french intro of opening theme is really the same singer, so how should I add her? Arlene or Arlène?

Up to you!
"Arlène" is her correct/real name.
"ARLENE" is on her EPs, capital letters, so I guess accents are discarded is this case...
