the best way to buy j-pop cd's
 

I live in Europe and here is very expensive to buy any j-pop cd, cause almost no one (in czech republic) know what "j-pop" means. "Ayumi Hamasaki." "Kawasaki? You mean that motorcycle?" And Gackt? No more words. In my place paypal isn't allowed. I really want to buy some Gackt CDs! Is here anyone who knows good page with j-pop stuff? I mean cheapest. But with some "quarantee" of original stuff. (i know yesasia.com but it seems to be very expensive) I've heard that in Germany is possible to buy some j-pop! Is here any German who knows something about this?

Thank you all for your help! I will really appreciate any info!

If you can't use paypal, that rules out ebay, which is probably the cheapest place to find cds in good condition. Your best bet to buy any jpop cds is Yesasia =\ although if you go to www.animetoxic.com and search for gackt, they have a few of his cds for 8$ a piece. And the store is reliable--i bought some anime goodies from there before.

Ah, yesasia is insane with their prices sometimes.. I don't think they even convert the yen prices into American dollars correctly or anything o_o

A new Japanese CD costs 3000 yen (22 euro) and a new single costs 1173 yen (8.6 euro). You can't expect to pay less than that for new stuff.

You can get J-imports from amazon.de but they are probably more expensive than yesasia.

amazon.co.jp ships to Europe and the total would likely be less if you pick the cheapest shipping option.

ebay.com always works well for me. But you gotta know the real stuff from bootlegs.

find a penpal from hong kong to get you the overseas version cds :)

that's what i did lol

Can you gimme some link please? :) I dunno what to search.

You could always try Tofu Records or Half.com.

haha you have to be nice to me...be my penfriend...then i will consider getting you hong kong version cds hahahahaha

And what are some tips to convince them to send CD's to ya? :P
