lullabies to violaine japanese edition

[cristian]

Guys, I need your help.
There's a guy offering me the japanese edition of Lullabies to Violaine 1 and 2, and also the american edition, but the japanese one is a loooot more expensive than the american.
He says the japanese is a lot better because it's recorded with better sound (24 bit), and the american with 16 bit. And he also says it brings a book with the lyrics in english and japanese, which I think is fake.
Do you think he is trying to swindle me?

L2V remasters are 16 bit.

What do you get for your extra 8 bits ?

the strange thing is he says it brings a book with the lyrics and that should be impossible....

Japanese editions often contain additional stuff and have included lyrics in the past, but they didn't come from Liz. In fact I seem to recall someone posting a copy of a statement the band made dismissing the lyrics that were included in a previous release.

In general Japanese editions are more expensive than others, simply because they're harder to get hold of. In this instance however I guess it depends how much you want to pay for a book of made-up lyrics.

I'd run away from that deal.
