OBIs = plural
OBI's = belonging to the mystical figure from the east known as OBI
just my way of asking what an OBI is

OBI means there's an insert with info in Japanese. They make a sport in putting as much info on it as possible. Normally they're common cd's, the insert is added later. Sometimes they translate the Japanese part into English, which is really bad most of the times.

Gwen, prices are just a little bit higher than the normal copies. Most people just wanna have them to complete their collection. They're not that rare btw. Those Japanese make those copies for every artist.

You're welcome
btw, the word "Obi" means "Ribbon" in Japanes, originally worn by Geisha's.
