That's actually wrong. There are four songs from this album that are presented in different editions for the Japan Release, not three.
"No Time to Cry" features different opening and ending instrumentation and sound effects, the most obvious difference is the ending where the British mix features three echoing, for lack of a better term "boom" sounds.
The Japanese version lacks these sounds, although there are some effects found at the end of the Japanese version which can be perceived to have the same equivalent as the booming sounds from the British mix.
Whoever wrote this obviously didn't realise that the British and Japanese editions of "No Time to Cry" were different. Lucky I came here to break this information to other reviewers and readers.
