Album "RAINBOW" was released in December 2002 and contained fifteen tracks.

Original cover and track list
..ORIGINAL PRODUCT: Overseas version, $18 Japan version, $29
The first attempt to copy the album "RAINBOW" is very easy to spot (sold on e-bay from China). Everything is messed up, the original track list from the CD is not kept, plus it suddenly becomes a double CD...

And this one is just plain stupid. It's again a "RAINBOW" double CD with absolutely mixed up track list. Have a look on the spelling of the name of the album... (This is sold on e-bay from China). Please also note stupid spelling of songs' names here: Heart place instead of Heartplace, Task in illusion instead of taskinillusion, Surred instead of Surreal... And what Hudi ever and Single are - I have no clue... I guess - NEVER EVER and SIGNAL...

Another version of "RAINBOW" is sold in China and information is available here thanks to orange89 from AYUNITE! forum. This one looks almost exactly like the original CD, so it would be hard to tell if it is a bootleg or not... There are however two ways to distinguish this one from the original: (a) the image is slightly shifted, and (b) there is a mispelling of Real me - instead they have Rwal Me...

And yet another version of 'RAINBOW' that is sold on e-bay from the USA. Again, there are three ways to distinguish this one from the original: (a) the cover does not look right, and (b) 'A Song for XX' is added at the end of the CD 1 (it is not on the original), (c) it is a double CD, not an album.

The information about one more fake version of "RAINBOW" was sent in by Johanna. This one is sold as a part of the package on Yahoo auctions in Japan and appears to be a "video cd"... (?)

Johanna has also sent the information about yet another fake version of "RAINBOW" that is sold on Yahoo auctions in Japan. This one, apart from a slightly different cover, has three more songs added in the end...

The information about this bootleg of "RAINBOW" is available thanks to Ayumi no Yume from the AHS forum. This was sold on on e-bay and the desription is as follows: The song listing is the same as the original. The only things that are different are (a) the CD is not blue, it's the same picture as the cover but it is transluent, so it's kinda silvery. and (b) there is no mention of "Avex". The company is "Alion" (Alion International Records Co. Ltd. )...

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 "RAINBOW"...
