Topic: J-Pop import sites?

Anyone know of any? I love listening to J-Pop on last.fm, but it'd be nice to listen to it on my iPod (more than the occasional free MP3, anyway), and not have to wait for last.fm to cycle back around to a track I actually wanted to listen to (hah, I could listen to this on loop all day ).
But Google searches throw up absolutely nobody selling it and a huge amount of people pirating it, which I'd really rather not do. But short of swimming my way to Japan to buy the CDs there, I've yet to find another alternative (that's not me trying to rationalize piracy btw. I haven't pirated any music and I don't plan to. If I can't buy it I'll just have to stick to last.fm, which'll suck a bit but ehn)

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/
http://www.play-asia.com/ (Import games too!)

Used both multiple times, and they're both reliable.

Though I think Amazon had a pretty good import CD selection, doesn't it?

Yessss, cdjapan has the music I'm after. Hadn't heard of that one. Thanks
I tried Amazon (looking for Aya Kamiki albums in particular), they only had one single of hers. For ~£50
And play-asia was a tad lacking too. But yeah, cdjapan looks great~

Oh god, this place sells everything. I'm going to be broke for life D:

I hope you're happy. You've put me on the road to living in a gutter surrounded by hundreds of bits of imported tat

Play-Asia is mostly for gaming (the selection is fantastic if you're looking for a rare import game), and it has a fair selection of music though it's mostly Chinese. That's why I put it after CDJapan, which is like my one-stop source for Asian music goodness.

EDIT: The reason why CDJapan has such a good selection is because it's based in Tokyo. In fact, it serves Japanese people primarily and they decided to expand their business to international exports. It's the real deal.

Also, I get the appeal! I went on an import rampage for a few months after finding them too, a few years ago. Good luck not buying yourself into poverty.
