WTB: Star Blade PSOne but "Japanese version"?

Hi there, I am looking for Star Blade for the PlayStation One.

My local retro store says it is pretty rare and usually pricey so I looked on eBay to see how much it is there. This auction lists the "Japan Version" for $35.99 but what I am trying to figure out is, do I want the "Japan Version"? I'm not clear if that means the game will have Japanese text and dialogue or if it means this game was only available from Japan, therefore it is rare and high price.

And I guess my last concern is, will this version run in my PS3? I know "normal" Star Blade runs in a PS3 because I've seen reviews say so, I'm just not sure if the "Japan Version" will work in my North American PS3.

Anyone got any advice?
 
I believe that the ps1 emulator on the PS3 is just as region locked as a real PS1. I could be wrong tho but back in the day you'd have issues trying to play an import game.
 
The japanese Star Blade Alpha does have english voices (radio-communication) and text but it will not run on your US PS3.

Tip: if you have the old PS3 that can play PS2 games, get Tekken 5. In it an emulated Version of the Star Blade arcade version is hidden and can be unlocked + it has analog control.
