Does anyone know what's with all the writing on the side of every Japanese album? Are those track listings, or info, or?

The paper band is called an "obi". The full name is obigami, meaning belt paper.

From wikipedia:

The term is also used for a strip that is looped over one side (usually on the left) or folded over the top of LP albums released in Japan, and folded over the left side of music CDs, video games, Laserdiscs, or DVDs. This is also called tasuki. Obi are unique to Japan and are used to provide the title of the product, track listings (if applicable), price, catalog number and information on related releases in Japanese. It is used by the consumer to determine what is included in the album or book, and the store can use the information for ordering. Obi are sometimes used on boxes for collectible toys and figures. Products with an obi have become popular with some collectors, as products with the obi intact can fetch premium prices, and are collectible items in their own right.[2] A record or CD with an intact obi is worth more than the same item without.
