| [Important Notice During the Transition to QR-Code–Enabled Textbooks]
To avoid unexpected confusion, we kindly ask that only one version—either the previous edition or the new edition—be used within the same class. Please choose one version consistently.
The previous edition textbooks will be sold while supplies last.
If you currently have stock of the previous edition at your school or classroom, we recommend continuing with the previous edition for this academic year and transitioning to the new edition in the next academic year.
As the previous edition is available only while stocks last, we encourage you to place your orders as early as possible.

[QR-Code–Enabled Textbooks: Frequently Asked Questions]
Q:Which textbooks currently include QR codes? (as of December 2025)
WELCOME YELLOW, Book1, READY, Book2, Book3 Book 4 BRIDGE－with audio QR codes
BLUE、TOMORROW－Transitioning to with audio QR codes in 2026
WELCOME PINK －Under consideration for QR conversionQ: Siblings are using Learning World, and the older child already has a CD. We would like to continue using it.
A: Option 1: Use the same previous edition as the older child
The previous edition textbooks are available while supplies last.
If you choose this option, please purchase them as soon as possible.
Option 2: Use the new edition for the younger child
For BLUE BOOK, the CD track numbers differ significantly between the previous and new editions, making it very difficult to use the older child’s CD.
With the new edition, audio can be downloaded in one batch. You may burn the downloaded audio to a CD-R for use.
For TOMORROW, among the new edition audio tracks 1–210, tracks 1–97 can be played using the previous edition student CD.
Even if the textbook is the new edition, listening homework can still be done using the previous edition student CD.
Q: Are there any changes to the teaching content between the previous and new editions?
A: There are no major changes to the teaching content.
Q: Are the ACTIVITY BOOK and WORKBOOK changing?
A: No. The same ACTIVITY BOOK and WORKBOOK are used with both the previous and new editions of the textbooks.
Q:I already have the ¥500 app for the previous edition. Will the audio app update automatically?
A: No, it will not update automatically. Please install the app compatible with the QR-code–enabled textbooks using the instructions provided inside the back cover of the QR-code textbook. |
