Yay! Thank you very much Usako! i was about to buy a fake CD. You just save my wallet ^^

I think it's worthy to note that the seller selling the NO.1 cd on ebay seems to be pretty legit (as in all the merch they sell seems to be autographed/the feedback is good). (NOTE* i have not purchased from this seller, but I have considered before)

But as mentioned before that signature hasn't been used before, but its possible she could've signed like that for a short period of time to "test" it out.

It looks to me as if someone tried to copy the way she signed her autograph in her teens.  I prefer that way of writing to her current one...it looked more angular and mature, while her new style looks rounded and girly-clumsy.

TBH, you can't trust any one from eBay, no matter how legit the seller appear to be, cuz it's very likely that the seller doesn't even know for sure that it's the authentic signature.

What is the point of BUYING a signed album anyway? Just to say or show that you have the signature, even if you it wasn't signed for your or you didn't even meet her in person? It's a waste of money, frankly. If you are desperate, I can sign it for you with her current siggy and you can't barely tell it's faked by me . For free. And I'm sure anyone who spends enough time and effort can fake her siggy because it is VERY simple.

Bottom line, if you don't get the signature by yourself or didn't see it signed with your bare eyes, it's 99% faked. Don't waste your money. Save it to buy some albums/singles that you really like & will enjoy.

Just my 2 cents.

Not everyone can travel to get something autographed by their favorite star.  For instance, I collect on ABBA, but it's kind of hard to get something autographed by them, since they haven't been in the USA together since 1979, LOL.  So yes, I've purchased autographed items from people I've known to be legit sellers (pre-eBay).  I've also purchased autographed items of people who are now deceased.

If you don't understand the desire to have something that's been autographed by someone you'll never be able to meet...then you don't understand fandom.
