-The items released within Japan are called "Japan Edition." -
So maybe thats just it got confused since it my first time ordering from HMV
---------------------
Japan edition is generally used by both online retailers and auction sites to mean the version that was officially released in Japan, in L'Arc's case by sony/ki:oon and VAMPS by VAMPROSE and so on depending on the merchandise. but it will be the real deal, not a copy.
it also differentiates them from other Official Asian or Overseas versions, which are cheaper usually but cannot be sold in Japan. says so on the label if you ever get one. i have an official korean version of heavenly because i couldn't get a Japanese edition at the time. it looks the same except it also had a lyrics sheet written in korean.
i've noticed that YesAsia is the retailer that will most often sell the other Asian versions. some others occasionally stock a few overseas or European versions too. and some of those have english lyrics, i've heard. ^ ^
Oh I see thanks for making that clearer for me

no problem. we all learn by trial and error. i just figure if someone else can benefit from my trial by fire, why not share the info. eventually it all comes back and someone else has info that you need in return.
oddly enough, my daughter in law just called because an old friend of theirs, gaming friend, had been getting into jrock, especially laruku, and remembered i liked L'Arc and was wanting info on where to buy it with an english site. so all of our chats here are info that can be passed on beyond our borders, so to speak.^ ^
Ohh yes! I have bought cds in overseas version, it is cool! I got SMILE, AWAKE, and Faith from TOFU records I think... and on a second thought... 666 was not supposed to be Ky/oon was it? it probably Haunted Records? Like Roentgen.
I have a first press 666. It has both the Ki/oon and the Haunted on it.
