Track 11 translated as "Throb"?[]

The kanji 鼓動 can be translated as beat, palpitation, pulsation or throbbing according to jisho.org, and the track itself has a heartbeat playing throughout. Personally, I kind of think that "pulse" might be a better translation of the track's name, as it would be more likely to bring to mind a heartbeat than the current translation. Is there some source that "Throb" is the intended English translation, or a user's choice for translation? Phoenixdaisy (talk) 04:31, October 17, 2016 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that the translations are unofficial. At least, the soundtracks haven't been released in English and I'm unaware of any official material that indicates alternative English titles. "Pulse" sounds like a good change to me, so go ahead! KylaraE (talk) 05:44, October 17, 2016 (UTC)
