The first Japanese release came in a boxed set with booklet, stickers and a plectrum. There is also a Japanese release without the stickers/plectrum though still with bonus tracks and booklets (one with lyrics and one with a band history in Japanese). The contents of the US release is identical to the latter, that is, it contains the extra tracks but the sleeve doesn't list them. As usual, the European release has no extra tracks. Note also that there's also a video with the same title and cover art, but with different tracks.
