ETERNITY ∞ // Eternity (Asian Version)

image Buy @ YesAsia.com

When the Korean version of ETERNITY ∞'s debut album came out, Taiwan and Hong Kong were expected to follow. Well one year on and, thanks to Avex Taiwan Inc., that has happened.

As with the Out Of The Box release, this album features the Korean artwork and track listing...well, almost the Korean track listing. The new tracks that had been given to Korea are replaced by the tracks originally bonus tracks of the Japanese which, allows it to flow a little better than it's Korean counterpart

As said, this album features the Korean artwork but sadly, this also includes the information on the back regarding the song My Style (bonus track for Korea) which of course, doesn't feature on this release. A bit more time and attention to detail wouldn't go a miss. There is also a little booklet in Taiwanese/Chinese (not sure which) which uses photos that were from the Bittersweet Symphony photoshoot, so not just a completely different shoot, but different project (although the same people behind it)

Once again, maybe not one for the collector (unless purely for the error on the back of the CD). There's two types of people who would probably go for this: either they don't own any of the other releases (Japan or Korea) or they prefer the artwork and track list to that of the other releases. Other than that, nice to see her music reach other sections of Asia

Rating: 4/5
