Thanks for this. I assume the track list is the same (not posted yet... at least not in English), but I can never tell with Japanese releases. I import a lot of (non P) CDs from Japan as they always manage to sneak on a bonus track or two...

EDIT - These folks have a picture... not sure if it is "official" though: http://www.bk1.jp/product/83767018

It's official. I've seen it here in the US in stores as a new item. It's an alternate cover, or an inside picture used as the cover. I see it almost as frequently as I see the original cover.

I've been reading too many crazy people's threads on here. That translation made far more sense than it should.

Thanks for the clarification. That shows me how long it's been since I have spent ANY time in a big music store. Once Virgin shut it's doors in my neighboorhood in 2007, I have picked up almost all of my music via e-tailers.

I forgot the picture was part of the set as well... once I ripped it in to iTunes that CD found a nice new home in my storage unit.

It's not cheap anywhere I've seen it. Walmart still has it for around $23 I believe.

I saw it recently reduced at Target....maybe $15...could have been $10, but that sounds too low.

It was sale then, because I'm at Target all the time and never saw it for $15.

This site has a picture of damn near every single released, including front & back covers: http://sleevographia2.free.fr/ Go to the gallery section.

Great site and a great resource.

Well crap, I missed that one. I do keep an eye on it for a sale price when I'm there though. So here's hoping.

Ok. That's about the average of $10 and $15. I bought it the first week like a sucker. Forgot what I paid. Whatever the lowest price was at places like Best Buy or Target.

Saw this today in Tower records Fukuoka. Nothing different about it at all unless you like Japanese writing.

Many CD's get rereleased over here as they often have limited runs.
