A BEST 2 Help

I just received my A BEST 2 BLACK and WHITE from eBay today. But I realized that the discs had different pictures on it and that it was distributed by Miya Records? What is this? Is this a different country's version? A fake? It all seems real to me though!
HELP! <3

Miya Records / labels (M)
Profile: A record company based in Taiwan that releases high-quality, but unlicensed (bootleg), popular Japanese music, including many game and anime soundtracks. Recognizable by their lack of credits to the original copyright holder, and the 'Made In Taiwan' notation.
It's a bootleg.

@ aerisgrainsbourg

The slip case is big enough for you to slip the CD+DVD case in and out of without forcing it.

What?? Utada? That's like posting an article about Jennifer Lopez using a picture of Mariah Carey or something

Yea people do buy these things.. it's like the people who bought the box of an xbox for the price of the xbox gaming console. How dumb can you be?

I have a few Miya versions of Ayu's concert DVD's, and they're almost perfect imitations of the real thing, give or take a few cut corners (like no pictures on the inside of cases, paper slipcase instead of plastic for ARENA TOUR 2005). I've never seen a booklet included with a fake copy before, but these Miya DVD's include perfect reproductions on thick paper.

I wish I could afford real Avex versions, but over $70 for one ARENA TOUR is not something I want to shell out. These Miya ones are close enough, and they're Region 0 so I can watch them anywhere. Yeah, I'm evil.

All my albums are 100% official, though, and I'm going to buy some of those special reduced-price DVD's sometime soon.
