English ONLY?!

I've waited at least 3 months for the U.S. DVD to be special ordered through the store I work at so that I can get the employee price, and it finally arrived today...

I was walking to the registers, ready to buy it, when I looked at the back and all I saw was "English Language" and "2.0 and 5.1 English"! I could not see "Japanese Language/Audio" anywhere on the packaging, which really pissed me off! (It's been an already stressful day.) I put it back on the special order shelf because once I open it I can't return it.

Before I throw my money away on what may be a tainted product, can anyone please confirm whether or not the original Japanese audio is on this disk, despite the lack of labeling on the case?

That really irks me that they'd import a Japanese film and not include the original language! I know Bandai is toy company, but, regardless of how much this film isn't like the original Anime, it is not a kids film, so it's not as if they're trying to market this towards American kids who are too illiterate to read subtitles. (I guess I could fork out an outrageously unreasonable amount of money for the Japanese DVD, but my Japanese isn't good enough to do without the subtitles.)

It does have the original Japanese language track. It's just not listed on the case. And yes, it can be subtitled.

Actually, the song by Black Claw is dubbed in English. It's a lousy version at that.
