I would argue against the change to the "original album title". The only place it is given with 映画『...』is on the obi where, if Google Translate is correct, it states it's the "Original soundtrack of the movie 'Silent Love' directed by Eiji Uchida". All other locations on the album have it listed as it was prior to the edit.

Just a thought -- given that the film's main character's name is 沢田蒼 (SAWADA Aoi, according to every source I looked up), I'm thinking track 15, "蒼", should be the main character, "Aoi", not the color "Blue" (as the Amazon translation that's currently used as the translator has it).

It might be intentionally ambiguous. See https://www2.jasrac.or.jp/eJwid/main...bSession=start

Random other tracks from the soundtrack don't have a 副題3 row, or have the values of 正題 and 副題3 matching, unlike here.

True. I haven't watched the movie, and likely never will, so I can only go by synopses of the plot I've found online. According to what I found, Aoi lost his hearing, so it would make sense that he would be feeling "blue", which would make such a double meaning for 蒼 make sense.
