You never know, he might be going after some rare, hard-to-find stuff.  Personally, I would never pay for it, but maybe this is some good stuff.

so far no useful info.

i'm buying some audio stuff, available only in japan

no keyboards ... on that front, wake me up when they make a black programmable backlit ergoplus or a light BS mini wireless/ wired keyboard.

I used BeNippon earlier in the year and they provided a decent, if expensive service. They seem to have a reasonable range of products, but I'm not sure what their policy is if they don't carry the audio stuff you are after.

I've also been in touch with J-Goods on a few occasions, and they seem very responsive, although I have yet to actually order using their service.
