It is interesting that the artwork has the same basic design but different colors.

The differences of the Japanese version vs the Western :
- New colourful cover
- tracks in different order
- a bonus audio track 'Headlight/Taillight', which is the vocalise known to have been used in the TV drama 'Shitamachi Rocket'.
- A DVD having the music video of 'If', 'For the Future', interview and & off-video of arrival date and time
In addition, a lottery will allow to win a 'Libera if box". Content of the box is unknown yet
Usually, in order to enter such Japanese lottery, you will have to purchase a CD, cut a stamp from the corner of 'Obi' (a small paper jacket that comes with the CD), then paste it on a postcard that will be to send to Libera Records.
In addition, the Japanese CD + DVD will also be available for the Japanese fan club members, with a 2022 calendar as benefit.
No details yet, but if it matches the 2019 and 2020 calendars, it will likely be a desktop sized calendar, meaning 18 * 14 cm (7 * 5.5 in)
There will be benefits as well if you buy your CD from various shops.
- Tower Records : a 'if' ballpoint pen
- HMV : a 'if' diary
- Yamano : a 'if' clearfile
- Rakuten : a B3 poster calendar (B3 = 35.3 x 50 cm or 13.9 x 19.7 in)
- Tsutaya : a 'if' sticker sheet size A4 (A4 = 21 * 29.7 cm or 8.2 * 11.7 in)
- Amazon Japan : a 'big jacket' (no details yet. Likely a CD jacket I guess)
- other various shops (list to come later) : a 'if' diary
Such benefits are in limited number or time. They are on a first ask first served basis.
If you want something, be sure to read the FAQ of the seller site because at times benefits are not available for online purchase, or not available to be sent by mail abroad Japan.
