In this case, ' is more useful cause 'chi is an abbreviation of uchi acutally in Japanese
yoshinaga-san no uchi > yoshinaga-san uchi > yoshinaga-san'chi

And, why do you often use such abusive language
you don't need to be polite, but should stop such words

' is only to be used after n + a vowel, nothing else
like the - is only to be used with proper nouns and loanwords assocciated with suffix

it's not because shittipedia, animenoobsnetwork and other noobish sites use yoshinaga-san'chi it means it's correct
before I put my correction of mahoujikake for example about that little academia thing, shit sites like ANN were using that wrong mahou shikake

it has been said and resaid in the past to not rely on american sites, they are bad

There aren't many examples but what Phonograph said is correct and we're generally only using ' in Romaji when the reading is unclear (n+vowel), never for abbreviations.

I've changed this to be consistent with other albums.

Also can you please add the artists in the titles? It should always be included for singles and artist albums.
The obi specifies only the character name (Lili), but we usually add the real artist as well, so this should be Lili (C.V. Nana Mizuki), same for the other albums with the other characters.
