What do these menu options in Umihara Kawase DS say? (Problem Solved!)

I can't figure out what some of the menu options in Umihara Kawase DS are supposed to say. Can anyone help me with this? Here are some images with what I know approximately translated. Red text = what part of the menu it is, in case you need some sort of context. Also, by "3rd option menu" I mean the menu that comes up when you pick the third thing down on the startup menu. I was afraid to pick anything in that menu, in case it did something I didn't want done, so I have no idea what that menu is. (Hell, the only reason I even found the SNES version on here was because I noticed the symbols for that menu option were the same symbols in the logo and in the top option)

I don't know ANY Japanese, so I don't have any idea what symbols are Katakana and what are Kanji.

SE Doesn't mean sound effects, because picking that option takes me to the same game that DS Route does.....The full name of the game involves "Second Edition"... Think SE means that?Also, do you think where it says 'data', it may mean some sort of phrase along the lines of 'erase data'?EDIT: Now that I know that the third menu is bonus crap, I looked into the third option of that menu. Turns out it's a bestiary or something.

I clarified that the third option reads as "Omake" - which is Jap for "Bonus" and not to mention the illustration and SEBut you're welcome anyway

I know. But the third option in the Omake menu is like a bestiary or something... Last night, I asked someone to help me translate some of the Kanji (When you disappeared, I decided to ask everyone on my MSN IM list. I got lucky and someone actually knew some Kanji) and they said that the second word was like Encyclopedia or something... So it's like Fish Encyclopedia or something. That's about the closest translation I can figure out.
