Japanese Versions usually prints on better paper, and the plastic box is more sturdy than the HK/TW versions. Even the plastic bag feels nicer... haha... I'm picky =P

TW versions will only have the Ayu's name written in Traditional Chinese and the Chinese translated album title printed on the "extra strip of paper on the cd side"... that's really ugly to me. At least this happens to the singles. I'm not sure about the albums. HK version uses Japanese name and original English title I think.

So usually I only buy pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~ version even though it is more expensive... and from yesasia, even they said HK Version, sometimes it is TW version (for cd singles) because TW version is the only overseas version released.

I have the Taiwan version and I must say the quality is superb. The paper they used for the booklet is around the same quality as the japan version (I'm basing it on her last release), and so is the casing. The quality of the prints are above average.

The separate paper with Chinese translations is indeed in plain white paper, with Ayu's name and the album title as it appears on the cover. I love the way that they keep it simple, that way it doesn't draw too much attention away from the booklet. So far, the only thing they need to work on is the obi. They could actually make the font bigger for releases that use bigger cases. And probably change the colour to black instead of blue.

oh gosh where did u see it???


TS that's cheap!!! only SGD$21 with pb & poster??? :thud:thud:thud

^ ya.. it's so worth.. my heart pain now.. why didn't I get such good offers? =(

wah that's cheap man .

But are you referring to the CD only version or the CD + DVD version for HK ? I'm guessing it's the CD only version .

so envy... i miss the high quality avex HK version of ayu CDs... Malaysia used to have her HK version imported CDs.... but now no more since avex gave the license to Warner Music Malaysia..... GUILTY here got PB, but no poster, and dont have the sticker infront of the CD......

lol i think we have too many threads discussing the same issue huh? why not jus buy what u guys think is affordable and most value for money, comparing so many different versions... ultimately, you will only get 1 version and u needa get it quick as only the 1st press has PB. chill out guys! :D

yeah.. must grab the chance... I will be getting the PB since my fren doesnt want that but will be buying the album.. *waits* I'm like gonna spend an additional $20+ for that.. -_-

CD+DVD.
