I don't really know how to tell but that's what the obi looks like if that helps at all

^ Cool, okay the thing that got me thinking was that the CD was visible behind the OBI, is it just a sticker or is the OBI transparent or something... Bleh, I'm so obsessive compulsive ^ ^!

hahaha, that's okay
I would want the write thing too
It's not entirely transparent but part of it is
it doesn't feel the same as other OBIs and it's kinda weird but kinda cool

^ I see, are the images posted the exact same as the CD you purchased or is it as the listing states 'Limited Edition'?

no, they look the exact same
Unless I'm blind and am missing a small detail, they look the exact same

On Japanese CDs the obi isn't big enough to cover the whole back side of the case.
The CD is visible due to the case being a slim one. A lot of Ayumi's CD-only singles are like that too.
And I see the gskohouse logo... They seem to be trustworthy, although I haven't had experiences with them.
And to top it all off, the front side has a Lismo! sticker and I don't think any pirated version could bother to add that.

I think the CD is not a bootleg . A bootleg wouldn't come with an OBI + I have seen that squirrel sticker before in the local HMV so yup

I have the single and that is the original, but there is nothing limited/special edition about it though , there is only a regular edition of that single.

It has a sticker with numbers inside the case you can see from the back picture, that means it was an ex-promotional single, given out to radio stations, DJ's etc, they are not meant to be sold but people sell them all the time.
