So I'm throwing this up for sale to see if anyone else out there has the specific need for one of these. I bought it because I'm minoring in Japanese and wanted a Realforce that was cheaper than the $360 boards EK was selling at the time (not including the red keycaps.) Its perfect for someone with the same interests and Japanese proficiency. So I fell in love with the feeling but learning the different layout was difficult with legends that were so difficult to see so Tennobanzai did me a big favor and helped me get the red keys pictured shipped over from Japan. As far as I know this is the only one like it in North America, so its pretty cool from a rarity standpoint. The layout really isn't that hard to get used to, especially if its your only board, but going back and forth between them eventually turned into me not using it enough to justify keeping it. That and I just bought the ANSI version for a little more than what I'm selling this for. Its in mint condition, purchased on here from another Geekhacker, and I'll be able to ship it out when I get back to the states next week. Of course I'll clean everything like I always do and the original keys do come with it. They're in great shape as well, neither set has any significant wear on them. Asking $300 for the board and the Red keycaps, not willing to separate since the JIS layout keycaps would be rather hard to sell here. Shipping is not included. New this board is $290 right now if you could get one from Japan and you get $110 worth of keycaps you also will have a hard time getting here for almost free.
Here's some pics you've probably seen before:

I have the matching blue keyset on my HHKB Pro JP.
Do the JP versions of the RF 91U only come in variable, uniform 45g and uniform 30g? I looked, but couldn't find a uniform 55g one. I can't even imagine typing on all 30g springs!

I wish Cherry would make lighter springs than the reds/blues/browns. That would be amazing
Anyways GLWS

Yeah I don't think 55g is very popular there, I didn't see very many when I visited.
@The_Beast: Reds are LIGHT man, I'm pretty sure they're just as light as a 30g RF.
@4en, thanks! Here it is if you want it:

Wish I had the money, if I did I'd buy.

Bump with new pictures. Couldn't resist getting both boards side by side with matching keysets and all. Look what $700 in keyboards buys! Rofl.

Note that the legends on the ANSI version are bigger and in bold it seems. The JIS version actually looks cleaner in a way even with the extra characters.
