Issued with green/red labels + OBI. This release comes with a gatefold lyric insert, both in English & Japanese.

Obi references a limited edition with a poster - however, this was supplied rolled in-store, not packaged inside the LP sleeve. The poster is a group shot in colour, similar to the photo on the insert.
