Does Guilty CD + DVD cone with a photobook, or is that CD only?

my I Am... has got a long OBI too, but it's a HK version. In general, HK (so OS versions) regular edition are the limited or first press edition of Japan. OS regular version of A COMPLETE ALL SINGLE comes with the box and photobook, like mine.

Today i discovered that the Single No way to say has a first press too:



the disc is different, like Free & Easy first press:



the very limited version (?) of kanariya comes with a special insert:



and we can notice that the singles Appears, Kanariya, Fly high, Surreal and Daybreak are limited editions themselves.

I think the kanariya special insert is fanmade because Ayu's stage name is small capped after A Song for XX, and not Ayumi Hamasaki.

I never seen "snowflake No way to say" neither.

It's look like an insert in the case, or on the package, not directly on the cd.

The First Press of Free & Easy is Ayu's face on the disk. I know it is

Thanks Blasterion ^_^

Unfortunately, eneabba doesn't say what first press items came with the CDs, only mentions Limited Edition Items (CD + DVD). Can somebody tell me from what single (or about) Ayu's CDs started having a first press? And what items were they?

I wish I wasn't so desperate for first press items. I'm a very keen first press collector, and won't buy the regular version if a first press exists.

Does M have a first press?

*EDIT* Do the re-issues of Ayu's early singles have a first press? I don't think the originals did, did they?

M doesn't have first press, i never saw anything like that.
but the re-issues of the first singles are themselves limited edition i guess.

the single [A] have first press too: the goldened-disc-and-booklet edition comes with a darker cover than other ones. The colored discs are limited editions. I think the regular version is the black disc, but i'm not sure. There's also a [A] with a golden disc, but it's not the first press. Look at the cover to be sure that's the first press edition.

Spoiler:

The golden one with the darekr/golden cover was a special press afetr the single sold 1m copies. So it´s not a first press.

Thanks again guys ^^

Another question. Ayu's later first press singles come with a poster (Im not sure when her singles started being sold with posters). I often look on YJA and have never seen posters sold with CDs/CD + DVDs. Were/Are posters sold seperately too? And are they always B2/B3 (I forgot which is the correct size)?

Seems I'm a regular in this thread xD
