Annotation

JAP: Victor VICP-215 (cd)

technically this should be in the japanese it's written in, on the cover (3. 肉食鳥) and its transliterated (3. nikushoku tori) because its translated, not just transliterated, (as the original is not ニクショク (meat diet) トリ ( bird; fowl; poultry), but Bird of Prey) AS-WELL as its actual english title.
But I decide to wait with this until NextGenerationSchema is functional
