Hi, I'm relatively new here, but I was just about to buy a cd there and had a question. I was wondering if it asks me for my credit card information after I hit confirm order? I know it sounds a little silly, but I just wanted to be sure. I went through the entire checkout and it didn't ask me for it. I read in the sites FAQ that it uses a site called 24card.co.jp (or something). So does it direct you to that page after you click confirm order?

Also I've tried looking for the cd (It's Runners High by the pillows, by the way) on other sites such as cdjapan and yesasia but they don't have it.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,

I crossed checked but could not find the CD available. But I did find it download able from Rapidshare. You can download if from the site and burn in a CD if necessary.

...nice when the first response is "it's easy to pirate it!"

Anyway, I've not used Nippon-Export, but I can offer some additional options.

HMV Japan lists it in stock, if you prefer a major retailer.

They only ship via EMS though, so shipping will be higher than places that offer Economy SAL. (Though if you want a tracking number anyway, you may prefer EMS.)

bk1 shows it orderable and they do offer SAL shipping, but they don't have an English language interface, you'd need to operate the site and deal with any email in Japanese:

There's also official download versions on Japanese iTunes and DRMed WMA stores. Japanese iTunes requires a Japanese credit card to shop directly, though you can create a Japanese Apple account for free and then buy an iTunes gift code from various websites, ebay, etc that sell those for getting around the credit card block.

Some Japanese WMA download stores, such as Musico, have no credit card or territory restrictions. Here's the album there:

I dunno how popular DRMed WMA files are in the age of iPods, but figured I'd mention it, anyway. Smile

I reside in the U.S. and have used all of the above at various points.
