This attempt to copy the album "A BALLADS" is an example of a clever bootleg (sold on e-bay from Hong Kong). Those who do not know that "A Ballads" is not a double CD, can easily get into the trap of buying this... Thanks to Tyran the Dark from France we finally know what is on this bootleg, the scan of track list is attached below. Not too many grammatical errors but... there is one to mention: instead of Dearest, there is song called Drearestt...

Another (not so clever) attempt to forge the "A BALLADS" album is also sold on e-bay from Hong Kong, this one is a three CD set...

The information about one more fake "A BALLADS" bootleg is available thanks to Queen from AYUNITE! forum. The cover and packaging are very much the same but the CD itself is completely different...

The information about another "A BALLADS" bootleg was also sent in by Rody. Only a small picture of covers is available, however the track list on the seller's page reveals a number of silly grammatical errors: 'A Song for Somebody' instead of 'A Song for XX', 'Graduation' instead of 'sotsugyou shashin' (translated as 'graduation picture'), etc . This one is sold on e-bay from the USA.

This bootleg of 'A BALLADS' from Yahoo auctions in Japan is not only a double audio CD, but also contains an unusually high number of silly grammatical errors...

One more bootleg of "A BALLADS" is sold on e-bay from Germany. The album is again transformed into a double CD (the track list unfortunately cannot be seen...)

Thanks to Fabrizio from Mexico who identified an Internet shop 'Anime Arigato' that sells products of Taiwanese 'MIYA Records' (the CDs appear to be unlicenced, as catalogue numbers are absolutely different and 'avex trax' is nowhere to be seen...) One of the examples is a very cheap copy of "A BALLADS"...

This cassette tape is sold on e-bay from the USA. It appears that it was produced by 'Red Beat' in Thailand and is probably a bootleg...
