J-List carries thousands of fun items from Japan, including awesome snacks, fun dating-sim games, wacky Japanese T-shirts and DVDs and Blu-ray discs. Most of these products are set up to give you automatic discounts for buying multiples, and we’ve dropped the DVD discount to a more reasonable three-or-more to get the 15% discount. What can J-List do for you today?
Our big news today is the addition of the popular Gakken “Otona no Kagaku” (Science for Adults) magazine + science kits to our site. Gakken is a really interesting Japanese publisher known for promoting science and education with easy-to-build science projects that give you important insight into the world around us. (They also publish Megami Magazine, so we loved them already.) Each magazine comes with tons of information on that issue’s subject, plus everything you need to build that special kit: a 4-bit microcomputer like the ones made back in the 1970s, a working planetarium, an awesome “theremin” to make electronic music with. The magazines are in Japanese, but Gakken has a complete English site with instructions, and also offers technical support via email if you run into problems with assembly. The new science kits are great fun, and I look forward to building some with my son. All future issues will be available, too, plus other great science projects by the company.
