Usually when there is romanji, it's a transliterated tracklisting, which should have status pseudo-release (and linked to the actual tracklisting with the transliterated AR). I did the linking for AURORA, but couldn't find an original tracklisting for the Mind Game OST in MB currently. I really don't care about capitalization issues on pseudo-releases, they're obviously not how the artist intended, so following japanese capitalization on the basis of artist intent seems very silly for those. Perhaps a short note on transliteration/translation should be added to the wiki page, with a link here: http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/TranslationTransliterationRelationshipType > In any case, it's a bit of a dodgy idea.

I agree, so let's get this documented, and afterward I'll be interested in your objections ;) > I think you raised good points about titling too, you should add that > to > http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/CapitalizationStandard/JapaneseArtistsException Ok, will do. -- kuno. _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
