Finally I have that Alion International thing cleared up. XD I have three of Ayu's CDs, RAINBOW, A BALLADS, and I am... but when I saw "Alion" printed in the corner on the back of all the CDs I got a little skeptical about it. I suspected that I am... was bootleg a while after I got it because there were really pale yellow/blue/pink scribbles on the first two pages of the booklet insert.

Not only that, but I looked at DivineAyu's CD scans and I noticed that the CDs I had looked nothing like what I saw on DivineAyu. For instance, the CD for I am... was tan-colored, but the one I have is a bold orange color. The CD for A BALLADS is supposed to be plain cream-colored with a little black design on it, but my CD has the album cover printed on it. Same with RAINBOW.

I also used to think that they were officially released Taiwanese copies... they said "Made in Taiwan" but yeah I was naive...
