Yes, I've come across track titles like "Track Title (version)". This
seems to be a similar case.

Ok. Now a little harder, IMO:

http://musicbrainz.org/release/6af6cc90-9bbe-4093-9155-8d2ef8aaa4ff.html for a few songs translated/adapted from other languages gives the original title. On the track listing, the font of the original translation is the same as the Brazilian title, only parentheses separate the original from the Brazilian. Still, I believe this falls under ExtraTitleInformationStyle. But this style says lower case should be used. OTOH, the original titles are Titles and as such should use upper case initials. So who "wins"? Should I enter "Uma bela história (La bohème)" or "Uma bela história (la bohème)"?

... and while we're at it, should it be "Watashi (Sapporo 76)" or "Watashi (sapporo 76)"?
