I bought the Japanese version when it first came out, since I had no idea if it ever would be done in English (it later did). As far as printing quality and color goes (I used to be a printing press operator), the Japanese version is much better that the USA Hal Leonard version. I've been very fortunate to see quite a number of the Bursts in that book in person, and to be honest, on some of them the color does not look like the pix in the book.

I also have Burst Gang, which is a great book if you can find a copy and have the $$$ and can read Japanese. LOL
