Controversies
In order to prevent unauthorized duplication of the album, the manufacturing was outsourced to Sony Music Entertainment plants in China but because of their large orders they were unable to meet demands. The producers did not wish to outsource to another factory, because of insurance concerns and so that the album could be release on the same date throughout Asia; it was delayed from 14 May to 18 May.
