Greetings from J-List January 2, 2000

in Your Friend in Japan

Happy New Year from all of us at J-List! We crossed into the New Year with our old Japanese standbys, the Kouhaku TV show, eating soba noodles, and trying to keep the kids up. After the New Year, fireworks went off all around us, even out in the country as we are. We then enjoyed the countdown each hour, as each time zone was covered in-depth on Japanese TV. Paris and New York were two of the most spectacular.

The last minutes of 1999 also saw the return of Chuyan and Hitomi, from their around-the-world-in-80-days tour. Relying on an Iridium pager that allowed them to receive email from around the world, they managed to get from San Francisco back to Tokyo in just 80 days. Since we received a lot of feedback about their journey, we captured their glorious return in a Quicktime movie. See the movie, as well as a report on New Year’s in Japan, at http://www.myjapan.net/peter/denpa80.html . Disclaimer: the movie is too small for the English subtitles to be readable — sorry about that. Quicktime 4 is required to view the movie.

We’re coming out swinging in the New Year with a very nice update for everyone. First and foremost, volley 2 of the Winter Comic Market’s new dojinshi is posted, and they are very nice indeed. Unfortunately, there is only one copy of most of the books, so you should hurry and check out the dojinshi page ASAP. For fans of Japan’s unequaled erotic manga, we’ve got Isane ~Break Out~ posted to the hentai manga page. There are new magazines posted, including the great new Gal’s Dee, and not one but *two* issues of Photoshot on the photobooks page.

We’ve also got an entirely new page: high-end S&M and fetish books, known as gouka-bon in Japanese which cater fans of unique genres of eroticism. These fabulous & rare books represent a sub-category of highly specialized Japanese pornography for distinguished fans who desire extremely hard core S&M and other fetish themes. See our first offering on the Fetish/S&M Photobooks page, up now!

Because we currently lack a good distributor to allow us to get lot of great JPOP titles for the JPOP music page, we’ve decided to continue the buy-4-get-1-free special until further notice, as our way of thanking JPOP fans for their support and interested in our JPOP offerings. We’ll get a better source of JPOP soon!

Finally, a slight change regarding our “reserve subscriptions” which make it possible for J-List readers to get current issues of Japanese magazines sent to them as they’re available on the newsstands here. Previously, we’d asked that you use a credit card for these revolving subscriptions, so we can charge and send each issue easily when it comes in. We’d still appreciate it if you could use a credit card for the order; however, if it’s inconvenient for you to pay with a credit card, check/money order is fine. We’ll set aside your issues and send out an automatic email as the magazines come in.

Thanks for being on the list, and “Kotoshi mo yoroshiku!”
