confirm

I have been trying to google for a translation of the memory management menu on my NGCD toploader. I have hit a brick wall and have come up with nothing. Does anyone have a USA version NGCD or know what the translation of the menu is?

I hear the Nintendo DS will play Japanese games in English. Can anyone confirm or deny this claim? I would be interested in importing games from Japan if any of this is true. Just think of it: having Castlevania upon release months before it arrives in America! Hell yeah! ::D
