Will the overseas version come with "first press"?

Seeing how her new album will come with a special booklet for the first press, will the overseas version come with this special booklet too?

Usually when a first press version is avaible, the overseas version is always the 'first press" version (eg. A BEST slipcase, MY STORY multiple covers) however I'm not too sure on this new album because special booklets are usually more expensive to make then multiple covers or carboard slipcases, so can anyone please put any input to my question such as past examples of ther artists? Because I really want the booklet!

Examples:
SOUTHERN ALL STARS - Killer Street (Special booklet + DVD) - Yes
Every Little Thing - commonplace (Special Hard Book packaging + DVD) - Yes

And I think the OS Release of DAI's 'DEEP FOREST' had the special slipcase + booklet from memory, but I'm not sure on this particular one.

And most comes with the bonus First Press DVD too, which can cost up to 800yen extra.
hitomi - TRAVELER
Every Little Thing - Acoustic Latte
Do As Infinity - Do The A-side etc.

If the booklet is CD size, I don't see why Avex Asia wouldn't include it. I'll cite more examples if I can think of more.

)...

I think OS versions produce more first presses (probably because Taiwan, HK, etc have their own first presses) but after a time, it will revert to "regular" editions (my Taiwan version of "A Best" is an example of this). Chances are, it will come with everything (at least that's the case I know of in Taiwan)

Eventhough It will be the photobook with the oversea version..
i am sure it is also hard to get in local stores ..

You still need to order it from the net in order to get the first press version.. ( i mean with the photobook ) isnt it ?
