Ordering import CDs... please help (lyrics, cd, albums, Europe)

[HM3Babe]

Hey all,
I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this, so I'm sorry if it isn't. But I've really been wanting to know something and haven't been able to find an answer. Supposing I were to order a CD from Japan that was available in North America just last year, will it be any different? I know the cover is the same, but will all the lyrics be in English? And all writings on the booklets? Basically is there any difference at all, appearance wise or even technically? Thanks so much.

You'll get all of the above or none of the above depending on the CD you buy.

Some will have japanese lyrics , some will have English. Some might have extra songs some won't. There really is no set criteria.

You'll just have to make a note of the differences before you buy them.

Generally because of CD's traditionally being more expensive in Japan they do have bonus tracks that American and European albums don't, but that's not always the case. Do what urban says.
