How Do You Buy Doujin Music And/Or Japanese Import Cds If You Don Know Japanese?
If you’re not from Japan and don’t know the language, navigating Japanese websites to purchase music can be a challenge. Here are some good resources for English-speaking enthusiasts of doujin music and Japanese media in general. Do an Ebay search: If the CD you’re looking for is on Ebay, this is probably your best shot for a good price. However, use this method with caution to avoid bootlegs or low-quality CDs: see the link to the Ebay guide for Buying Japanese CDs on Ebay in the Resources section at the very bottom of this article. Visit online stores targeting westerners: Some large eBay stores such as Palet Web and Himeya Shop are well-known for offering a large selection. Attend conventions: Obviously, not everyone has the time or will to attend anime conventions, but the larger ones often offer a great music selection, and they’re a good way to get introduced to the latest doujin bands. Amazon.com: It’ll be pricey, but Amazon often has a number of high-quality imports available.
