Legally acquiring Japanese CDs

Dominis1978 13217 cr points Send Message: M Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 2/24/11 I've scoured the internet, and I have no idea where to find Japanese music CDs, legally. Sure, it's pretty easy to get pirated copies of just about anything now, but I would like to legally acquire some Japanese music. Honestly, I have no idea where to buy a Japanese CD. I'd like to get some older CDs such as High and Mighty Color, Little Non, and some newer ones, SiD, Spyair, Scandal, etc... Is there a website I can go to purchase them? I don't have an iPod, so itunes is out of the question. If anyone has any idea where to go, please let me know. Amazon.jp would work, but I can't read kanji. Thanks

Thanks here is the cheapest site that I know of to get cd's and they are really good I have ordered 4 cd's from each site also even if you itunes you can still rip the cd's to itunes because there is no region protection on cd's >_> http://www.hlj.com/ http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/A1dvz7opnajbb25IEx/browse/category/4/2337/0 http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-00-71-9v-49-en.html

If you do buy anything off of ebay, avoid anything from Malaysia, as more than likely it will probably be a pirated product than legit, even if it has there government seal on it.

Special Snowflake AHTL 66358 cr points Send Message: 23 / Norway Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 11/21/12, edited 11/21/12 I'm a big fan of HMV Japan. http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/ Bought several albums from them, never had a complaint. Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide Matryoshka / Coctura Small Color / Outflow Kido Takahiro / Fairy Tale FPM (Fantastic Plastic Machine) / QLASSICS Serph / Winter Alchemy Jazztronik / Heartbeat Presents Frames Mixed By Jazztronik Serph / Accidental Tourist Jazztronik / Jazztronik Works Q;indivi / Philharmonique., Q;indivi / Ivy Jazztronik / Lovetronica!! Jazztronik / Bon Voyage! DR. ECHO-LOGIC / Cycle Of Birth Q;indivi+ / Acacia: Fantastic Plastic Machine / Zoo So I feel I can safely recommend them. : ) They sometimes have sales, where you get a lower price by combining certain items. And you get bonus points for purchasing from them, which you can use to get a discount.

There are a few sellers out there that will sell them and give instructions on how to use it as a foreigner.

Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 12/14/12, edited 12/14/12 You can buy them from CDJapan or YesAsia, quite a few are listed on amazon.com as well- but wherever they buy them, they're going to be a hella expensive unless they are used. Which is why I prefer to DL my Japanese music from the internet - gasp ILLEGALLY. I do own a few Japanese CDs, but as I stated before, they are expensive, and I can't afford every single/album release that I like. If you really want to buy them for a cheaper price, you can buy the Taiwan/Korea/Hong Kong versions, which are of the same quality as the Japanese releases, just less pricey.
