-Kanariya, Ayumi Hamasaki

this song remains a mystery to me. first of all, its supposed to be a hidden track in LOVEppears, and yet, i can't seem to find it in my cd.zz. secondly, the Kanariya single cd contains like 10 different remixes of the song, but not the original version. so how the heck am i supposed to get hold of it?! anyone, if you do have it, send it to me immediately. ty.
