A news article on Siliconera gives some info on how to properly read the name of Karanoshojo 2.

Quote:
The creators urge fans to please call the game Kara no Shoujo 2 or just “Uro,” which is what the original kanji would’ve been read as. On the other hand, they insist that “Uro no Shoujo”—which is translated as Girl of the Hollow as opposed to the original’s Girl of the Shell—is not the correct title.

We have a very specific case here and I guess we'll have to wait which name will eventually become accepted when the game is released.

Looks like the creators are pretty specific about what they call this, so we should follow them.

Hey, ina. Can you check out Teioh's link and post a response about why Uronoshojo should still be in the title? Thanks.

"KARANOSHOJO ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK" is printed all over this album, so I changed that to the title, but that makes this ambiguous with the soundtrack for the first game at first glance, doesn't it. D:

I left the "The Second Episode." subtitle as an alternate title so this'll still come up in searches for that.
