The Japanese version features the very same tracks as the SamadhiSound version. So, no bonus tracks!
Differences can be found in the packaging. The Japanese version has the good old obi and contains an inlay sheet with some liner notes by Headz/Fader.
The disc itself is different from the original version. Much darker artwork but with the same copyright text as the original.
Art direction: David Sylvian Design: Chris Bigg Cover artwork: Atsushi Fukui Artist Liaison: Yuka Fujii

The Only Daughter: remixed by Ryoji Ikeda
She was, she was A friend of mine Do us a favour, your one and only warning Please be gone by morning
She was, she was A friend of mine
Inconsistencies Words on paper The track still warm I came to hate her
Smitten no longer Me, the only daughter Render the vow It's my home now
This, your one and only warning Please be gone by morning
And if the ending is clean The quirk, the fuss, the vaseline She won't even see it coming Roll them over, roll them over, roll them over Me, the only daughter
She was, she was a friend of mine
Smitten no longer Me, the only daughter Render the vow It's my home now
The penny's dropped The room's in order I masked the spot Me, the only daughter
Do us a favour, your one and only warning Please be gone by morning
I fall outside of her She doesn't notice I fall outside of her She doesn't notice at all
And mine is an empty bed I think she's forgotten And mine is an empty bed She's forgotten I know
Put the brakes on Put the brakes on 'Cos I'm fading fast Can't find the link Between me and her
He who was first's coming in last
I fall outside of her
And the trouble is there's no telling Just who's right or who's wrong
Don't tell me that love is all there is I know don't I ?
Don't crowd me pappy Got too much to think about The game's not lost If I say it's not And it's not Give me one more chance to do things right Don't crowd me pappy Got too much to think about
There's no talking to her Talking to her I'll keep my thoughts to myself Unless I'm asked
Like blemishes upon the skin Truth sets in
Life's for the taking so they say Take it away
I fall outside of her She doesn't notice She doesn't notice at all And mine is an empty bed I think she's forgotten
All is bloated and far from truth Let's secure that reputation Place the dummy upon the roof Stitch him a tongue Give him proof
Don't tell him love is all there is I know, I know Just pull the wool down over his eyes One more time
Her heart's a foreign place I visited for a while And although I try to please her She came at night and stole my visa
Come away now, run away now little man You'll not make sense of it Try as you might to understand
The Heart Knows Better (Remix by Sweet Billy Pilgrim)
I don't know how long She's been here with me But it's been a long time coming
Make it last forever Make it last forever Yes, it's been a long time coming
There's a name for this one There's a name for that Call me by my true name I'll call you back But I've no intention of seeking you out
And the mind's divisive But the heart knows better-ha Better-ha
And every night is wedding night in my bed My eyes are closed but I can see The sky stretched overhead The mattress on the floor A sea of faces at my door And every night is wedding night and I'm set
And the mind's divisive But the heart knows better-ha Better-ha
When she whispered in my ear What did she say? She put her hand hard on my chest What did she say? Oh, but nothing really matters in the end And if everything still matters what then?
And the air is humid and my face is wet And the driver's much too drunk too see But she's sitting in my place Devastating beauty in my place And I'm absent from the place I ought to be
And the mind's divisive But the heart knows better-ha Ha-ha-ha
There is always sunshine Above the grey sky I will try to find it Yes, I will try
My mind has been wandering I hardly noticed It's running on its own steam I let it go Oh here comes my childhood A penny for your secrets It's standing in the window Not out here where it belongs
There's a fire in the forest It's taking down some trees When things are overwhelming I let them be I would like to see you It's lovely to see you Come and take me somewhere Come take me out
There is always sunshine Far above the grey sky I know that I will find it Yes, I will try
You know he'll take you But not too far Always first in line But second to none The good son
The good son
He loves a good tune so whistle one he knows He looks to you to see things right
So take this ring and pass it on There's always stories riddled with lies You know the questions are best put aside Listen to him Listen closely now here he comes
It's a shameful way to behave It'll hurt if he gets his own way
You know he'll take you But not too far Always first in line Second to none Listen closely now Listen closely now Here he comes The good son
He tells himself It's too far to come To redefine his aspirations to be The good son The good son The good son
"Don't try to make sense of it" she said "It's all that you can do to balance up the books For him and you"
And though he's nothing in particular But he's game for a fight He muscles his way in and stays for life
And all the world has come undone And every family should have one A good son

Blemish (Remix by Akira Rabelais)
I fall outside of her She doesn't notice I fall outside of her She doesn't notice at all
And mine is an empty bed I think she's forgotten And mine is an empty bed She's forgotten I know
Put the brakes on Put the brakes on 'Cos I'm fading fast Can't find the link Between me and her
He who was first's coming in last
I fall outside of her

Don't crowd me pappy Got too much to think about The game's not lost If I say it's not And it's not Give me one more chance to do things right Don't crowd me pappy Got too much to think about
