'Fixing' disc 3 track 13's Romaji title; for unknown reasons, the JASRAC version of the title is not actually the 'decoded' version of the title, and this is what the katakana read as.

I'm aware that the decoded version of the title is rao kimera TERESIA; however, that is not what the JASRAC title reads in romaji.

The JASRAC-tweaked title is ラテオレキシメレア (not ラオキメラ テレシア). This can be seen on the JASRAC site itself (see a screenshot here - unfortunately I don't know any way to directly link to an entry that doesn't throw an error).
ラ = ra, テ = te, オ = o, レ = re, キ = ki, シ = shi, メ = me, レ = re, ア = a.

For almost all tracks, the JASRAC title read in romaji is equivalent to the decoded title, but that is not the case here. Since the page's tracklist is titled 'Romaji' rather than 'English (decoded)' or equivalent, my understanding is that it makes more sense to list the track as the JASRAC title directly in romaji, rather than its actual decoded significance.

The tracklist isn't just copy-pasted from JASRAC, but modified (hence the "tweaked" in the title). The fact that JASRAC didn't provide the decoded version of this title doesn't prevent us from having a decoded version of the title. The title in our tweaked tracklist did actually read ラオキメラ テレシア before, but someone (incorrectly) changed it to ラテオレキシメレア in 2018 and that has been reverted back now.

That makes sense. I misunderstood what 'JASRAC-tweaked' meant, I thought it was 'tweaked according to how JASRAC writes it' or something similar. Sorry for any inconvenience.

the romaji tracklist is more like a desawanization, for a better comprehension of the tracklist (like jasrac tweaked)
technically it's not really romaji, it should maybe be renamed romaji (from jasrac) tweaked
