With our service, you can easily purchase items listed on Mercari even if you reside outside of Japan.

I actually placed an order a few days ago to test it out. Fingers crossed.

EDIT: All went smoothly.

Morning Musume｡– LOVE Machine (new 7-inch vinyl)
Morning Musume｡– Koi no Dance Site (new 7-inch vinyl)
Sayashi Riho – Hi(gh) Life (new CD)
Sayashi Riho – Symbolized (new CD, limited first press B with booklet and bonus download card D)

I had previously resisted the urge to buy any of the various expensive H!P vinyl releases, but my fetish for 7-inch singles in picture sleeves, combined with the currently wonderful exchange rate, made it impossible to resist buying at least some of these new 7-inch releases, and the two million-sellers were the obvious choice. Sexy vinyl beeeeeeam!

That Tampopo tho

I feel that higher-res scans wouldn't go unappreciated

Only one of these is H!P-related, but I wanted to post the two t-shirts I just got from a popular online t-shirt vendor. Totally unofficial, of course, but legit W and Tommy heavenly6 t-shirts aren't exactly commonplace, and as American XLs they only exist in Fantasyland.

I feel that higher-res scans wouldn't go unappreciated

I'll have to get back to you on that.

Here's some info from CDJapan, in case anyone else was wondering about this.

Hello from CDJapan

Today, we would like to provide information for our U.S. customers regarding the impact of the reciprocal tariff on U.S. deliveries.

The new reciprocal tariff policy has been announced, but there's no change for products originating from Japan when shipped to the U.S so far. Items such as CDs, Blu-rays, LPs, books, and DVDs will continue to be exempt from duties for U.S.-bound deliveries if the subtotal is under USD $800.

We hope this information will be helpful to you.
Thank you for your continued support.

CDJapan

This seems relevant (and if it's not, I'll delete!):

https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/information/2025/0825_01_en.html

On July 30, 2025, the U.S. government issued an executive order titled “Termination of De Minimis Treatment for All Countries” regarding mail to the United States.

Under this executive order, starting August 29, 2025, mail containing goods imported for personal use (taxable mail) will no longer be eligible for duty-free treatment, and tariffs will be imposed. On August 15, 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced new guidelines regarding the elimination of de minimis rules, which require that transport operators pay customs deposits to CBP and prepare customs declarations. The procedures that transport operators and postal operators in each country must follow to comply with these guidelines are not clear, however, making implementation difficult.

Therefore, starting August 27 (Wed.), in line with other national postal operators, we will temporarily suspend the acceptance of postal items (small packets, parcels, and EMS (goods)) to the United States that contain the following items:

Individual gifts with a content value exceeding 100 US dollars
Goods intended for sale for consumption

In addition, we will continue to accept letters, postcards, printed matter, EMS (documents), and postal items (small packets, parcels, and EMS (goods)) containing gifts between individuals with a value of less than US$100.

As an alternative to the above suspension of acceptance, our international courier service, UGX (U-Global Express), can handle shipments in compliance with U.S. customs regulations:

UGX (U-Global Express)

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
