The information about this bootleg (sold on e-bay from China) is available thanks to chrissy. Everything appears to be in order, but the DVD is 'region-free'... A better scan of the front cover is available thanks to evolution7931 (this one is sold on e-bay from Canada).

The information about this bootleg (sold on e-bay from Hong Kong) is again available thanks to chrissy. This one is a home-made DVD-R, 'region-free' of course... Only one screenshot is available on the seller's page (no covers, naturally...)

And another bootleg from Yahoo auctions in Japan... All looks more or less OK, but one of the songs is called "Boy & Girls", not "Boys and Girls" as on the original...

From Yahoo auctions in Japan, again... The front cover may be OK, but the DVD definitely isn't...

And yet one more from Yahoo auctions in Japan, again... It's quite unlikely that the DVD would be sold in a 'plastic pocket'...

From Yahoo auctions in Japan - the letters on the front cover are black (instead of white), 'region-free' DVD, no mentioning of avex...

Information about this bootleg is available thanks to Fabrizio from Mexico. Lukas Kowalski sent detailed information and scans for this bootleg (found on e-bay in Germany). This is an exact copy of the concert by Miya Records from Taiwan. As you can clearly see, there is no mentioning of avex trax anywhere... As Lucas points out, "...the case is nothing but a joke. Cheap quality, the DVD does not fit in and the case itself would not close properly..." and "...the cover is blank (white) at the other side..."

One more from Yahoo auctions in Japan - two video CDs with no mentioning of avex... At least they've got the names of all songs right...

And again, from Yahoo auctions in Japan... This one is really bad: it contains not only the 2004-2005 Countdown but also what appears to be pieces from other concerts and (for some weird reason) twenty videos by Utada Hikaru.... One misspelt names must be the worst I've seen: the meaning of a beautiful song 'walking proud' is completely changed as it's called 'Walking Around'...

This version is sold on e-bay from Australia - an obvious bootleg: the track list is identical to the original, but the cover is completely different...
