Revised SHM-CD Page, Farewell For-side
Apr 18,2008
Hey all,
This week sees the release of our revised SHM-CD page. We've seen an unprecedented amount of demand for this new format, so we're pleased to announce the arrival of a new, fully automatically updated page. Like most of the other pages on CDJapan, the new SHM-CD page features daily-updated rankings of all of our new SHM-CD releases and preorders, as well as a daily-updated list of all of our new SHM-CD preorders.
If you'd like to view available releases by date or genre, just select one of the genres from the menu on the top-left of the page.
New SHM-CD page available here
Completely unrelated, but I have some unfortunate news for fans of Japanese female idol DVDs. Due to the unexpected closure of major manufacturer For-side.com's DVD business, we will no longer be able to order For-side.com items. Items not in-stock at CDJapan have already or will shortly be dropped from our listing, and items we have in stock will only remain until final supplies run out. Since this closure affects not just CDJapan, but every retail store that carried For-side.com items, we urge fans of Nao Nagasawa, Aki Hoshino, Rina Akiyama, and other artists with For-side.com releases to place their orders soon before these items go out of print.
*Note: the closure of For-side.com is not related to our previous trouble with CDJapan's previous trouble with idol DVDs.
Once again, we appologize to fans of idol DVDs worldwide.

Revised SHM-CD Page, Farewell For-side Comments
For-side
Since there's no option to search by studio, is there a way to get a listing of all the For-side DVDs you still have in stock? If not here, then perhaps on the Japanese Neowing site?

We didn't before, but I made you one ;)
Unfortunately, we can't really promote it on the site but I've talked to my boss and it sounds like the blog is OK.

About 75% of the items on that page have only 1-2 copies in stock, so if there's something you NEED to get your hands on I recommend you order as soon as possible.

wuuu..interesting......whats is SHM-CD page?
by v.v : Apr 24,2008
SHM-CDs are a new, Japan-only, type of CD made from a different material that's easier for the laser in your CD player to read, so they are supposed to sound better (I've actually never heard them, so I'm just going off of reports).
They work with standard CD players so if you're interested, defintely try them out. There's also a little more information on SHM-CDs on the left-hand side of the SHM-CD page:

THIS IS NOT FAIR!!!
Dannnnnnn... How is possible that the JPOP genre not have any items in this SHM-CD Page?. I will like to test these type of CD but actually there is nothing of my interest here...

Actually, we have a couple of Jpop SHM-CDs, but they're usually only available in really limited qualities so they sell out quick. I know the limited edition of Miyavi's "This iz The Japanese Kabuki Rock" is one!
