the 2nd's dimensions are off o_o so it has to be fake

the 3rd looks the most real to me, why not check out eneabba.net for 'em?

All 3 are the same

If you want to see the official covers check Ayu's official site, or a store like amazon.co.jp.

The last one's the only definitely real one. The first one, too hard to tell. It looks like a bootleg cuz the DVD emblem looks too small, but scans can be decieving. it may be real. The second one is definitely a bootleg.

Yeah, the 2nd one definitely looks like a bootleg. Her chinese name is below it and stuff. And there's no 'VIDEO' under the DVD symbol.

Why not just buy it officially from Yesasia? It's not like it's that expensive.

The second one is definitely fake.

Or it could just be a Chinese version, they are quite different from Japanese/HK ones, with Chinese writing and some differences in the cover art but they are REAL not some crappy bootleg. They're licensed by Avex in China. They're not under the "Avex China" company... But I wouldn't buy it if I were you, it could be a bootleg as well.

it probably is a bootleg, but that's what I thought when I bought a forgiveness single that had chinese on it. It's Taiwan's official version and is completely legal, but since it was sold outside of Taiwan, that made it illegal.

Don't buy any Ayumi DVDs from eBay, they all have these over there. Just go to yesasia, $25 isnt THAT much for an overseas DVD.

If you're unsure about what's legitimate and what's a bootleg, you can use This site to help you.
It's all about Ayu's material and what's bootleg and how to tell.

And HERE is the page for this particular DVD.

*by the way, I love your avatar Fungu. Makes me Laugh! *
