AD on obi reads “Digital Mastering” in its upper portion, while “MASTER SOUND” texts are printed on obi, inner sleeve & each label. Enclosed insert is English lyric sheet with images of members, while another insert is with “Japanese liner notes & lyrics”. It’s hard to find Japanese audiophile copy of this album even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
