The only clips of early versions you can really hear are in CMs... some just use different vocal tracks (recorded on different days), no big differences aside from that.

However, "STEP you" is a particularly famous one, it's very slowed down in the Panasonic commercials.

"still alone" has a more raw, unpolished rock arrangement with no background vocals (and I've always liked this version 100x better than the album version) in the Takanoyuri Beauty Clinic La Stone Therapy CM.

"July 1st" in the Kose Visee Sexy Glossy CM is in a slightly higher key.

In its Panasonic CM, "everywhere nowhere" has no background vocals singing the title.

Vocal balancing is different in the Panasonic CM version of "1 LOVE".

"Naturally" has a slight lyric change - she says "bakari" in the album version but in the Visee Shimmer Face CM she says "dake wo".
