[edit] Album Editions

The Japanese issue of NO.1 album includes an exclusive bonus track "NO.1 (English Version)". It is the fourth best selling album of 2002.

There are only limited copies of the first pressing of the album which sold out just in weeks. The first press includes No.1 (Original Version), My Sweetie (Original Version) and Listen to my Heart (Big Chorus Version). The NO.1 Album now sold contains NO.1 (Music Video Version) and My Sweetie (Corrected Version).

The differences in the versions of My Sweetie lies in the ending which the original slowly fades out with One! Two! while the corrected one is a distinct One! Two!
