Up and coming releases from Japan

Re-releases of note

Fraudulent copies of Japanese releases. Imitations of official Japanese Mini LP releases. Also alerts about suspicious activity on eBay.

A number of posts with some excellent links to other sites we've collected over time. Enjoy!

United States, Europe, Australia etc

Releases from known or unknown sources, arguably legal or illegal, that do not pretend to be Japanese (well, not quite). For example, Russian releases with Japanese vinyl replica obis and Russian releases with Russian "obis".

Boxes released by Disk Union as a reward for purchasing a full set of releases

Boxes released by record labels. These may have been as promotional items (eg. return the coupons to get the box) or as a box set.

For better or worse - boxes of unknown origin or very limited quantity.

Items you have made yourself or you've acquired that you know to be home made for love or profit.
