This is the US version of 40/40 that was first released in Japan in 2009. It differs in several ways: there’s no subtitle – it’s just 40/40; it’s pressed on standard CDs and not SHM-CDs; one track, “Leave Yesterday Behind” on the Japan compilation is replaced here with “Touch Me When We’re Dancing”; and “Let Me Be The One” appears in remixed form on this compilation. The earliest issue in the US mimicked the color scheme of the Japanese release with earth-tones of tan and brown for the CDs.

A second package that was also issued worldwide (UK and Europe) came with a blue slipcase, blue and gray discs, and a track listing on the rear with a blue background. The fonts are different in the booklet, but the wording is identical. The sound is also identical with the first US release.
