Hello Hello,

If you've never been to Japan, you may not know that this week is Golden Week. Through a wonderful conglomeration of celebrations like "Constitution Day" and "Green Day" (Japan sure loves Green Day!), Japan is allowed to take most of this week off.

Rest assured that, as you can see, I'm heartily in the office updating the site today and CDJapan should be up and running through the next week. Please note, however, that this week we will not be sending out Jpop, Music, Anime, or Movie newsmail, and will only send artist newsmail on a few days. Support emails may take a little time to get back to you, but orders and everything else should be running as usual!

See you next week.
