Thanks, much appreciated.

A pity they kinda put whatever they wanted rather than translations, oh well.

Tracklist edits/justifications

Generally, across all titles, I don't like the "... - ..." but I can see why it is used. I'm going to leave them alone.

M1: Spinning --> Weaving. When you spin a tale you're making something up. When you weave a tale you're telling a story. Same as the change justification in Soma Bringer OST (https://vgmdb.net/forums/showthread....ighlight=weave)
M2: Facility --> Establishment (M2,7,9,21). Adventurer --> Explorer's per localized names from in game sound test/localization
M3: Woodlands --> Grove per localization
M4: First Part --> Part One * reverted
I do not how 鉄華 is being translated as "Battle". It lit. means "Iron Flower". Not sure if this is romanized as "Tetsuka" or "Tekka", it's localized as "Tekkadan" (鉄華団) in Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded whatever. Regardless, seems to be a loose interpretation but I don't have anything better.
M7: The Roadside Trees Outside the Window --> Viewing the Wooded Path Through a Window: better translation / meaning. It's presumably the bgm that plays when you enter the Dungeon and the scene is literally looking at a wooded path. Not sure if "Window" is meant literally or figuratively (i.e., the DS screen as a window). Etria Plaza --> Etrian Square per localization
M8: Removed "Sudden"
M10: The Millennial Azure Woodlands --> Azure Rainforest per localization
M12: Dyed in Scarlet --> Covered in Blood (https://jisho.org/search/%E6%9C%B1%E...81%BE%E3%82%8B)
M13: Respect --> Reverent (could use "Respectful" as well but Reverent has added emphasis). Not sure I like "Government" for matsurigoto because it means (politically) a great deal more than that. Like the merging of religion and state in that you're supposed to govern according to the ideology of religion, etc, but I don't think there's a good way to express that in English. Maybe something like "Reverent Church and State" but not sure it's any better.
M14: The Withered Forest --> Sandy Barrens per localization
M15: Decay --> Ruins: I don't like decay because it usually implies natural/biological and I doubt that's the intent. Could be wrong. Last Part --> Part Two * reverted
M16: The Fallen Capital of Shinjuku --> Lost Shinjuku per localization
M17: Tusukur --> Tlachtga per localization
M22: Cavern --> Hollows per localization
M28: Single --> Jingle. Despite the cd tracklist & inserts saying シングル, I think we can be confident that this is a typo for ジングル. Especially since it's "Jingle" in Sekaiju no MeiQ 2, 4, and 5 OSTs.

- Removed Koshiro as an arranger, no arrangement credits in inserts

*edit* 1/21/2019 -- Changed "Town - " to "Townscape", much better translation (from EO3 OST)
