I've re-rejected some edits to several Disgaea albums. Please don't re-romanize Japanese borrow words.

While I know that it's technically incorrect, the purpose of the Romanized line isn't to provide a correct romanization, it's primarily to romanize words that are translated to English in the display title, thereby capturing a potential title that someone might search for. This stance might seem a little random, but I believe in readability, and there's nothing more unreadable than a borrow word rendered as Orijinaru Sandotrakku instead of Original Soundtrack.

So I've changed Dorama -> Drama

Also, writting the official romanizations from the developers as "Disugaia" is quite weird too.
