I can't reproduce this here; I don't have any albums with japanese
characters, but I when I tried with albums with non-ASCII chars, it
worked fine.
Could you select "Options => Enter debugger on error" and reproduce this bug?
Hopefully this will give us a backtrace that gives us some clue of
what's going on.

You mean that if the real title is longer, then it gets
truncated earlier?  As in "toto" would be truncated to "tot…" but
"wonderful" would be truncated to just "w…" rather than "won…"?

Hmm... that might be a clue, indeed, tho it might be
completely unrelated.
