TWW Box (Japan) described

Lars asked for corroboration or correction on the differences between
the UK and Japanese editions of TWW.  I own the Japanese edition, and I
am sorry to say:

   a) The only English to appear in the whole set are the lyrics and the
      very brief introduction by KaTe Herself.  The rest is Japanese
      only, and seems to include mostly magazine articles.  Now it is my
      lifelong ambition to learn Japanese.  (Even the discography/
      biography is Japanese--the only English is song titles!)

   b) Alas, I can find nothing special whatsoever about the Japanese CDs
      themselves.  No TWW or KT symbols anywhere I can see; the discs
      themselves are black with yellow lettering.  No pictures on the
      discs.

I understand the UK edition came with stickers of the TWW symbol; not so
the Japanese.  (What would you do with them anyway?)  Btw, I paid CDN
$226 plus tax, only to have the (Canadian) re-release appear within weeks
for something like $165.  Aaaaarrghhh!
