7.It Happened One Night (1996) US & JP
Live Audio Tracks:US CD is Enhanced-CD, but JP CD is not Enhanced. And It's available on Video.JP CD has more songs. Enhanced part is also very pretty. I think JP Edition is better. Audio part is longer and better song list.I think it's her milestone till that time. She has changed.
