There is no need to capitalize english (or any transliterated) words if they're not written this way in the album. That goes for both, artists and tracklist.

That is just the way I organize my stuff. most of the times, what I put here is what I am at the same time organizing.

Your orders Are my comand

I capitalise the words in KATAKANA because in japanese, katakana is refering to foreign words. katakana is like writing in big letters and hiragana...small ones. so if the words are in katakana even hey are like "Shinderu" but in Katakana, that means that word needs to be seen in another way, for example. I have seen katakana used in some japanese words. It is meant to be, because the reason is to highlight that same word. I organize my stuff always faithfull to everything original and how it is written.

I'm too perfeccionist.

it's not totally exact, katakana isn't only for foreign words, it can be used for the whole japanese language (maybe just for giving a certain style)

honestly, there's no big interest in capitalizing words just because they were in katakana (you can see the japanese tracklist for that)

note: perfectionist, btw
