Hello, how is everyone?

Well it seems like everyone is getting excited about the end-of-year campaign. We are still working to get together the presents. I think they are good, but keep in mind that we have to come up with something that everyone can enjoy. So some of you will love certain presents and other presents may not mean anything to some people.

But since most of my blog readers seem like visual-kei lovers, I suggested to add something nice to the guy in charge of the visual-kei presents. And he's working on it. No matter what they are, we are working hard hoping that we'll hear a couple screams of joy from around the world at the end of December.

Well I think I'm going to get in trouble if I spill anymore than this.

So let me change the subject and ask you a question.

Is there anything that you would like to be able to purchase from CDJapan?

You guys should give a shot a tell me anything because one thing I like about CDJ is that if we come up with a nice idea, and if it is actually possible, we can put it into action right away.

Oh, but we can't export food becuase the restrictions are too strict and things that are too heavy or big have too many problems sending overseas.

Also by the way, tons of new arrivals from SEX POT ReVeNGe, Algonquins and Deorart are now available.

Be sure to check them out soon!

Hope u have a wonderful weekend!

Great idea ^^

I'd love to be able to buy particular issues of magazines from Japan if it's possible.

Good luck on your end of year campaign :)

I would love to see a possibility to order telephone cards (mounted or regular) that you can collect and are related to anime or games. They are more regarded as trading cards and as far as I know they can't be used... Shipping could be done in envelopes like the discreet shipping option that's already available. Also files with plastic sheets to sort out collections of Stick posters, Trading cards, Telephone cards and Shitajiki (IF possible). Thanks.

I Hope You Can Help
Hello,
I would like to be able to purchase sheet music of my favorite Jpop artists from CDJapan. I would like Puffy, Kokia, Ayaka Hirahara, Ai Otsuka and Spitz songbooks if possible.
by Mike : Oct 20,2008
How about some visual kei bands' calendars? I've always wanted those.
by Crys : Oct 20,2008
I'd love to purchase gadgets but with english instructions.

Visual kei band merchandise! and clothes from the brand Putumayo
by Gari : Oct 21,2008
I would love to see some posters of some of my favorite bands (Gackt, Dir En Grey, girugamesh, Merry, MUCC, etc.)!

Hello. I readed the iddue about food, but it would be good if someday you could put on sale japanese snacks, such as pretz or pockys. They come packaged as any tea bags and maybe it couldn't be a problem. Another thing is fanclub subscription for visual kei artists. Or the possibility to get all the items that are only for japan fans. Thanks.
by Andres : Oct 21,2008
I would love to be able to get visual band's posters and tour goods,merchandise... which aren't available in our countries... stuff you can only get in Japan...

(P.S. If this does become a reality, get A TON because, I (and I know many others) would be crushed if our favorite bands tour goods sell out!!)

Calanders would be super cool too.

And, I would LOVE to get back issues of magazines too, like SHOXX, Arena 37c, B-Pass.. Specials on Ongakusenkasha..

the GazettE and Nightmare!!

I'd love some posters (Hikaru Utada, Hyde, Mika Nakashima)
by mi¦kshake : Oct 21,2008
more merch
I'd love to see some VK band calendars. I know Kaya and Versailles have some amazing ones but they've only been available at their lives so far. More posters of bands would be awesome as well. And I agree with individual issues of magazines (Shoxx, Fool's Mate, Cure, Arena 37C, Neo Genesis, etc). And also things like T-shirts, hoodies, keychains, anything that bands would sell at their lives. I love being able to wear shirts for artists I love and walking around town with them only to have someone ask me about them (that way I can corrupt them into Japanese music, too ^_^).

And this is just an afterthought, but if it would be at all possible, how about ways to buy tickets to lives in Japan? I know there are a lot of people who fly to Japan just for concerts, but they've always had to have someone else help them with going through the ticket-buying process and it is a pain if you don't know it already and can't read Japanese. That would be really cool :)
by Mishi : Oct 21,2008
Oh! Suggestions? Hmmmm...
1- I will like T-shirts from my favorite J-pop artist like Haruko Momoi, Morning Musume, Hikki, Boa, AAA, Amuro Namie, etc.
2- Also collection cards or posters from all J-pop artists in Japan(men or women) because only if you buy a calendar obtain one big poster of the groups.
3- It would be a good idea that CDJapan sell that beautiful designs of bookmarks: are small, cute and very representative to all Japan.

VK calendars, VK posters......
DEATHGAZE'S NEW ALBUM PLEASE!!!!! ^^
by Mr.VK : Oct 21,2008
ManaB, i was wondering if CDJ could put box for ticking at the "view cart" section? cause i find it very annoying having to delete/ move the things i didnt want on the cart/ save it for later when i decide not to buy them yet .. when i have alot of items at the cart . Thanks!
by v : Oct 21,2008
I would LOVE to be able to purchase clothes from the brand Putumayo.
by Kristani : Oct 21,2008
A little suggestion
Would it be possible to see the date that an order has been shipped on in the order details? We can already see the date the order has been placed but not when it has been shipped. We do get an e-mail telling us when it was shipped but I don't keep those mails once the order arrived at my place. Still I think it would be handy if we could see that information in the details of our orders.
by shawurai : Oct 21,2008
I'd love to see more clothing brands! :D

maybe...H.Naoto, Sexy Dynamite London, Mad Punk, Listen Flavor, Hellcat Punks ^^
by JJ : Oct 21,2008
Well, I don't know if this is possible.. but what about giving the chance of joining a band's fanclub? Dir en grey, for example. Their fanclub is only open to people who live in Japan, but I am sure there are people outside of Japan, who would like the chance to be in their fanclub. Or how about more of their merchandise, like T-shirts, bags, etc.? I hope this won't be as impossible as it sounds. ^^ I am sure many of their fans outside of Japan would love this idea.

Same here, best of luck with your end of year campaign. More power to CD Japan. ^^
by Ines : Oct 21,2008
Woah
Thanks for so many great ideas.
Now I'm really happy that I asked for requests because I'm getting some really nice ideas from all of you.

I'll put everything together and annouce your requests at our meeting and I'll get back to you with our answers.

v and shawurai >
I'll tell the system team about the problems and ask them to fix them, ok?
by Manababy : Oct 21,2008
I'd like to see visual kei merchandise, like bags and t-shirts etc. And instead of magazine subscriptions, it be nice to be able to buy a certain issue that I'd like. Back issue mags would be SO cool! I'd love that. ^_^
by Miyuki : Oct 21,2008
ManaB> Were you able to input the 3 upcoming discs I previously requested on the site? (From prev. blog post)
by wohjai : Oct 22,2008
I'd die if you guys every were to start selling more brands like Listen Flavor and Putumayo and Sexy Dynamite London, for example. ;D
For those like me who have no way of using shopping service, CDJapan is the only way I'm able to buy any jrock/Japanese brands. xD;

It'd also be awesome to be able to buy band merchandise, like shirts/hoodies and wristbands/necklaces, if possible~

I don't know if you'd be able to do any of this, but I'd love you guys even more if you could.

We've just got the following info in our system.
Search the following catalog no. at our website.

Plastic Tree
Limited Edition DVD
UPBH-9422

Alice Nine New Album
KICS-1416

I'm sorry but we don't have Dazzle Vision.
I'm not sure if Alice Nine will show up on our website yet but it's already in our system so even if you can't purchase it right away, if you keep on trying it'll probably show up in a day or so. Good Luck!
by ManaB : Oct 22,2008
ManaB> Thanks for looking it up. I'll be waiting keenly for the alice nine. album to show up. Is it true that the Plastic Tree DVD Limited Ed. will come with a T-shirt? Cause that's what it says on the link I posted.

Also, for the Dazzle Vision album, is it because you don't have the information yet or is CDJ not going to sell this album/single because I really want to buy this...and I'm wondering if it will also come with any first press items!
by wohjai : Oct 23,2008
Tickets!
Concert tickets will be veeeeery much appreciated!

Thanks for asking us our requests!
by Eleonora : Oct 23,2008

Do you mean you want us to make a wish list section apart from the cart?So that you can sepearte items that you are still thinking from the ones that you are actually going to buy?
by Manababy : Oct 23,2008
wohjai>

I asked about Dazzle Vision to our supplier and they said
they don't have your requested CD so we can't sell it.

I'm very sorry. But cheer up cuz the Limited Edition for Plastic Tree is giving a T-shirt!

It would be great if i can purchase tour goods such as t-shirts, towels, phone hangers and such from CDJapan!!!
by Michelle : Oct 23,2008
ManaB> No, that was not what i was refering to, can you put tick-box something like this ¸ý at the "your shopping cart" section, cos when i had alot of stuff and decide not to to buy them later and i wanted to move them to "saved items" section then i had to move each item one by one and it is very troublesome.
Therefore if there is tick-box¸ý at the "your shopping cart" section it would be very convienent , as i can just tick the items and move them to the "save items" section , hence i dont have to move the items one by one where i can move them all at once.
Its like at the "save items" section there is tick box where we can tick the items and move them all to the 'Shopping cart" but this one is in-reverse
by v : Oct 23,2008
Perfect idea v.v. Good brain. You have right!! It`s very troublesome to save items one by one. I accept your "ticky box".
by Ken007 : Oct 24,2008

Sorry for my misunderstanding.
I get it now.
Yes, that should be pretty annoying.
I'll definitely suggest your idea.
by Manababy : Oct 24,2008
More CDs
I believe that it would be great if CD-Japan increased their stock of CDs. While CD-J already has pretty much the best stock of CDs that can be shipped outside of Japan, it would be great if you were able to get distribution with even more labels. For example, there are many CDs you can buy from Disk-Union that you still cannot buy from CD-Japan (such as some progressive and metal bands, underground artists, hardcore/punk, indie, etc.). It would be awesome if CD-Japan started to stock more underground bands and an even wider variety unto an already wide variety.

TV-Dramas with English subtitles?
I don't know if this is in the realm of the impossible but it would be wonderful if one could buy the Japanese TV-Drama DVDs - such as Nodame Cantabile, Attention Please etc. - with English subtitles.
