Buying Foreign Music

I've been having a rough time lately so I thought I'd waste some money on CDs... In particular I wanted some Blankey Jet City, which are a Japanese band. So I look online to where I can order a CD (couldn't find it at any popular music stores) and ebay and amazon are selling some... but they're $90 a CD!!! What the hell?

I'm thinking maybe I could try my luck with a used CD store but... Does anyone have a decent method of buying foreign CDs? It's not worth 60-100 bucks a pop (plus s + h) to me... But I do want them... My only guess is that it would be cheaper if I had a friend in Japan with lots of free time willing to help me but I don't so... haaa...

Anywhere good? Part of the problem is I obviously can't write in Japanese, so I wouldn't even know where to start when ordering products directly from a Japanese store.

Thanks,

PS: I'll make another entertaining blog soon to make up for this selfish one ^^

It's really expensive still, but not 60-100.

never buy any type of asian music off of amazon. they have outrageous prices.

yesasia, hmv, cdjapan, etc are better choices.

I'm also interested in this as well, however I want to get French or Latino music with female vocals.

Any ideas?

I was so expecting "non-korean" when I read "foreign" :D
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

http://www.amazon.co.jp/BANG-BLANKEY-JET-CITY/dp/B00005GLE8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1255519178&sr=8-1

some blankey jet cd for about 1,800 yen. It's rating is really good. 27 5*s only.

from what i understand the cost of shipping to north america=1,700+300(# of CDs) so it might work out to be cheaper than the alternatives if you buy a bunch of CDs and DVDs. hope this helps!
