Be My Last
Passion
Prisoner of Love

QUESTION 4: Do any of her CD's come with any sort of first pressing bonus?
No.

QUESTION 5: Were her English singles released in Japan?
No. Devil Inside and Exodus 04 in US, YMMWTBAM in UK (not 100% sure)
Easy Breezy was a DVD ONLY single in Japan comes w/ OBI.
Easy Breezy was also a limited single which was given out to like 1000? people on her english site.
YMMWTBAM, has 2 editions, the regular UK edition and the promo edition which some members have.

If youre in doubt, go on yahoo japan auctions and search for the item, and stare at a few pictures.

QUESTION 4

YES! If you have a first edition of Distance or Deep River, the physical CD will have a color photo of Hikki on it. If you have a second edition or later, the disc will just be a plain disc!

This might also be true for ULTRA BLUE (but I know it's not true for First Love or Heart Station)

^ Cool, my ULTRA BLUE copy came with a colour picture of Hikki on it, I never knew about that, although I don't think my copy of ULTRA BLUE is a first pressing.

@Kobayashiwoof: Thank you so much for the info that cleared up a lot!

I haven't looked at my Deep River cd in a while... wouldn't it it be a B/W pic since every other pic is B/W. Oh! I remember Deep River came with a poster! I remember seeing it at Mikado in SF. Its a pic of her and it looks like she's by a fence or something like that. Or maybe that was a CD promo poster... I could've sworn it was a GWP.

Aaaaaaaactually! Not to be a total correctness *****, but the case for Ultra Blue is larger than a normal cd case.
It's about a case and a half thick. I have no idea why. It just is, and it doesn't fit into those cd stands that have the wire/plastic slots for the cases.
