It is the title used by the officially licensed distributor of the film. It is also the most intuitive title for readers in the UK and Ireland who know the film from the Eureka releases.

Additionally, both this film
[4] and Ugetsu Monogatari[5] were earlier released on VHS by their previous UK distributors. Both of these films have been released numerous times by two companies under these titles.

I noticed that, and changed my post two minutes before you replied
[6]. The book is, however, published by the same entity that officially distributed the film on VHS.

Not yet, but I need to post this here for posterity, given the apparently inflammatory nature of posting variant titles in opening paragraphs. I wasn't aware that this was such a controversial issue until tonight.

By the way, I thought I could get this through peacefully with logical debate and reasoning, without having to rely on MOS, etc. My change has stood for a few hours and it looks like this might be over, but I should probably point out for posterity that
WP:NCF is very clearly on my side here:
Use the title more commonly recognized by English readers; normally this means the title under which it has been released in cinemas or on video in the English-speaking world. Normally, this will be an English language title that is recognized across the English-speaking world; however, sometimes different English-speaking countries use different titles, in which case use the most common title, and give the native and alternate English title(s) afterward.
This date would have been in the last decade of the eleventh century of the Western calendar. I've added this to the first paragraph of the Plot section.
