The connection between And then the Girl Went Mad and the Abandonment song is not loose in my opinion.

Hansel and Gretel's voices make an actual appearance and talk about "abandonment", the moon shows up (referred to as Otsuki-sama like in Abandonment,) the singer goes crazy after being left behind by her mother and doubts her mother's good intentions (like the twins being abandoned by their parents and believing them a witch and henchman), etc.

Thematically the two songs are much more closely related than Moonlit Bear, which features only the moon and none of the other themes, as well as none of the other singers. ( inb4 "Meta abandoned the twins" ) I think the thematic connections between the latter two songs more than justify the parallels in the titles, more so than trying to parallel to Moonlit Bear (at cost of making the translation less accurate) just because Abandoned is a sequel to it.

For all we know Moonlit Bear will get a Japanese title that's "The Bear Moonlit Tale" with the release of OSS CE, but that's not really important or necessary to discussing translations.
