^I thought Mossimo was Zellers... [edit] wait wait! I get it haha... I... dont' know how to read English. That's why I'm a linguistics major.

I have sneakers from Walmart. They cost 12$. Canadian. That's like 4 cents American.

No, no, no. It wasn't actually anything like that. I actually thought Keiko of globe was named Keiko Matsui.

Hmm. If I say Billie Holiday, do you say Keiko Matsui?

Another Japanese pop artist that made it relatively big in the US: Ryuichi Sakamoto. He's got Virgin to release his albums. In other words: he's got it made. Apart from Pizzicato Five albums, Sakamoto's are the only ones I can pick up in a number of record stores here.

So true. I look through the lyrics for the SMILE album and go "yeah, okay, this word should be like this..."

I was able to find Nami Tamaki's CD at a local record store (in fact I am listening to it right now ^^). But I cannot find T.M. Revolution. I've seen Puffy at Tower Records, though.

Your best bet right now is to just order it online. Apparently, Tofu Records has gone on an indefinite hiatus since March.

I don't know about WalMart, but I just bought ULTRA BLUE in Best Buy last weekend.

There were Candian (not sure about US) releases of her Single Collection and Ultra Blue, but I can't find either now.
