It is a proper name here (because it's localized), so I've changed it.

Another issue entirely is how we've decided to reverse the order of that phrase using a comma and everything, but I guess that's just style. I guess that's one of those things that just helps it to read better (even though I think reading it straight across makes perfect sense).

That's because of how relative clauses are handled in Japanese vs English.

I just checked the NoE Releaselist and saw that the Galaxy 1 is missing there. Perhaps we might need a third entry for the OST because the japanese entry got mixed up with the european one. :/
