My Question or Issue
Between 2022-07-14T18:00:00+09:00 (JST) and 2022-07-20T18:00:00+09:00 (JST)
We have confirmed that the album names included in the album information obtained using the Spotify API "Get Artist's Albums" were different from the album names displayed on Spotify Web.
Specifically, if the album name was in Japanese, the album name in the API response was romanized Japanese.
Currently, as expected, Japanese album names are included.
Was this caused by a bug in the Spotify API?
Or, if I want to always get the original language (in this case Japanese) from the API, do I need to change the way the API is called?
Response that seems to be a bug(partially omitted):
