Greetings from J-List March 11, 2000

in Your Friend in Japan

Hello from Japan, where tuna is called “sea chicken.”

Trains are a bigger part in the daily lives of Japanese than most Americans, and part of riding trains is checking out the interesting print advertising inside them. Every once in a while, a company will reserve every solitary advertising spot in a train, to attain total saturation of its message. Once Apple did this, and I was surprised to find myself riding a train car filled with “Think Different” ads. Most recently, NTT’s Tu-ka portable phone service rented all the advertising spots on a train in central Tokyo to plug their “EZ-Web” service — one of the many competing new proprietary “Internet by cell-phone” services that keep springing up in Japan. Each poster featured the recent #1 singer and “CM Queen” (as well as the face of Lycos in Japan) Hamasaki Ayumi — Japan’s “new” Amuro Namie.

In addition to heavy competition in the cellular phone industry here, competition is increasing among Japan’s 3000 large and small Internet Service Providers, as each tries to add new features to attract people to the Internet. @Nifty pushes their service and lack of down-time, as well as features like fortune-telling right on their site, while NEC’s Big Globe supports homepages viewable by portable phones. Sony’s ISP, So-Net, allows you to interface the web with a virtual 3D “Postpet” front-end, while AOL Japan struggles to gain market share (with only 43 access points in all of Japan, it’s no wonder they haven’t done better).

We’ve got some really nice new items for you this evening, including:

  • First, we’ve got several excellent old and rare AV videos, including long out-of-print items by many nice AV stars (see in-stock video page 1)
  • Also in the “rare, and bound to sell out very quickly” category, we’ve got a few copies of the long-lost “Love 4” idol series, which brings lovely nude idol footage of four gals per tape — including many rare faces like Fubuki Akira, Tohno Natsuko, Aonuma Chiasa, Yoshino Sally, and more (see the Idol & Soft Porn page)
  • Also on the Idol & Soft Porn page, we’ve got more Matsuda Senna videos in stock, and a lovely video by the most famous and beautiful Race Queen of them all, Fumika Suzuki
  • On the dojinshi scene, three great new additions, including a super Shadow Defense dojinshi with Chinli and Sakura, and a great erotic Nadia book (!)
  • For fans of J-List’s unique anime & toys page, we’ve gotten in some cool Licca-chan items, including the highly cool “Street Licca” (a “cogal” version of Japan’s #1 doll, complete with loose socks), and Color Change Kira-chan (a lovely, petite doll that changes her hair color) — there are also Japanese clothes for fashion dolls
  • Mecha-Ike Older Sister, a nice new “liquid” magazine
  • More copies of several excellent photobooks that had sold out, including the lovely Saira, Hitomi Ryo’s Virginity, Miura Aika’s Last SOng, and this month’s excellent Mini-Suka Deluxe

    Remember that J-List has a special “Three Pack” of English-language hentai games. You can get any three games, including the excellent new release, Viper VM1, for just $105 shipped (extra shipping applies outside of the U.S./Canada) — this is a savings of up to $30, as good as “buy 2, get 1 free.” Take advantage of our offer now.
