Greetings from J-List. Rina and are are safely back in Japan, after an eventless flight on Korean Airlines.
I do so like KAL. The pibinbap (spicy Korean dish of rice, meat and vegetables) is delicious, and the stewardesses are always pretty. I added nicely to my Korean Airlines spoon collection this trip. I’ll have to start on forks and knives, soon.
We were only gone a week, so Japan didn’t change much while we were gone. Japan is still cold, and still filled with smokers who seem to be everywhere. Japan is still a very different place from California, and yanking my body from one environment into another still gives me a bizarre feeling sometimes. Still, jet lag aside, I’m back in my Japan life with no problems.
Omiyage, or souvenirs brought back from a trip, is a major tradition in Japan, and it’s unthinkable to go somewhere and not bring back a suitable memento of your trip for those who didn’t get to come along. For J-List I brought those chocolate seashells, along with 3 lbs. of Starbucks coffee. (We’re all caffeine addicts here.) Kazuki wanted Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue (which is based on Go Go Five) more than anything, so I brought him the U.S. version of Victory Robo. Chiharu got one of the rarest things to find in Japan, onion bagels and cream cheese. Kaori got the nicest omiyage of all though — her Strawberry iMac, which she’s eagerly playing with now at home.
There are several great new items on the J-List site this evening, including:
- The new Dela Beppin, which features the lovely Kanazawa Bunko as well as many more lovely AV gals
- The new Birei, the highly erotic all-color magazine featuring the “Pheromone Princess” Hitomi Ryo and many others
- Other magazines, including the new issue of Men’s Master
- A nice update to the high-end gouba-bon photobook page, with the Nakadashi 50 Renpatsu and Lesbos Club Special
- A great slew of in-stock adult videos, including Tajima Yu, Kawai Momo, Sakurai Fuka and the sizzling Yumeno Maria — and more
- On the idol & softporn page, great idol videos of Asakura Megumi (!) and the Mini-Suka Police
- On the Japanese snacks page, Toppo, a wonderful baked pretzel with chocolate inside
- Finally, new from Soft on Demand, a wonderful 2-hour “Masterpiece of SOD” collection video featuring selections from nearly 100 high-quality titles.
Remember that the J-List 10%-20% sale on manga & dojinshi is coming to a close in just a few days. Check out the site now, to be sure you don’t miss out. In addition to the fine hentai manga we’ve got, there’s also a huge in-stock selection of Lunatic Party and Angelic Impact parody Sailor Moon & Evangelion manga series.
Although there are no Lucky Charms here in Japan, it is nice to be back. See you on the web!
