Quick question, minna!

Does the LE HK version also have the 40-page booklet, like the japan* version? what exactly is the difference between the two?

Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!

yes i think it does.

i think the only difference is that it'll have chinese translations instead of japanese on the japanese version.

whew! yokatta ne? i couldn't get a hold of the japan LE version - it's really SOLD OUT everywhere (sugoi Arashi)! so i just settled for the hk version... i'm just worried about that one little matter - arigato gozaimasu! you gave me such a refief!

thank you so much!

Your welcome :)
If money is your main issue the overseas versions would be great.
But I think it'd be good to note that (I think) they don't count towards Oricon charts.


Yeah the Japan LE version is sold out; sad for those who still want it but great news for Arashi, ne? :)

thanks again for the help!

But some people find the word "jap" offensive. I'm sure you didn't mean it that way, but I just thought you might want to know.

yes~!
lyrics are chinese
and i guess they will also translate the comments written all over the arashi selection disc 3!
quality are nearly the same but price much LOWER;D
and more precisely it should be tanwai version instead of hk
(cause i also find it hard at ordering the jp limited version at hk 2 and end up buying it at much higher price, but its WORTH IT ><)
hope u find it useful just walk past here XD

thanks for the info! it actually doesn't matter to me if its in japanese or chinese since i don't read either hehe - just as long as i can support Arashi, that's fine for me! ;p

Oh hopefully that'll be the same for the Korean version too ne? Cause i was having the same problems finding a Japanese version so i just got the Korean one! I just hope it'll have the booklet too, even if it is in Korean! ^~^

it's most probably safe to assume that the korean version should have the same! good for us, ne?

Since the Japanese LE is sold out in nearly every online site I could find. The only LE available are the overseas version, namely the HK and Korean version I found on Yesasia. I noticed the extra comments at the bottom of the description on the Korean version, so I emailed them. They replied back to confirm that the Korean LE has 3 discs and comes with the 40 page photobooklet.Was that the same with Japanese LE one? It costs more than the HK version, and I don't know if that is the reason why unless someone here wants to email them and ask about the HK version.

sugoi! you emailed them? that confirms everything then! thanks! ;D

I'm really interested to find out what the guys have written in the booklet so if there's chinese translations i may buy it though i already have the Japanese LE.
hope u could let me know when u received yours if its not too much trouble.
thanks ^^
