      A great version of the release. Shame it wasn't issued with this tracklist worldwide, as it's a vast improvement. I always felt the 15 track version was lacking, and Yuko and Hiro was a poor track to finish on (plus the outro bit didn't work well with this track either). The Japanese version works really well and ending on a more upbeat note makes the whole album feel like a triumph!
