But they're not "super rare" at all.

They're widely distributed to retail music stores in Japan for the purpose of promotion and given how many retail music stores there are in Japan...

Also, the fact that Avex has to serially number them and also presses them with specially marked discs shows that they're produced en masse.

Gothicayu is right when she says that the only promo CDs that are really rare are the ones distributed via acetate (CD-R) copies. Those ones are meant to be distributed within the industry only and are burned to CD-Rs because the amount that are distributed is low and doesn't merit a pressing.
