For singles and splits using Han characters in the release title/artist name, should CJK full-width slashes be used without any spaces, or the normal space-slash-space?  
I had thought it was the former, since this is what Japanese and Chinese websites most often do, but it this appears to be wrong.

If it should be space-slash-space, I think it should be noted since this would be a pretty common mistake when moving things from a Japanese or Chinese website.

It’s what I do, presuming guidelines are mostly written for Latin based scripts.  
Not sure there is a guideline for CJK, that would tell not to follow what’s printed.
