If you open that file with a hex editor there is not much content available.
There are no text strings.

I tried to do some text editing with this game in the past, and one thing I can tell is, there's really no strings in that file. Basically, it contains textures for the Japanese characters/fonts and a few english texts, and at the bottom of the files it contains a some sort of coordination point(?) which tells the game what character should be loaded forming the text.

So, to edit the text, you have to edit the characters/fonts textures and it's coordination points too.
