Greetings from J-List May 3, 2000

Hello again from Japan, where you can actually walk around and find signs saying “Chikan chuui” (Beware of sex perverts).

I am truly a happy gaijin. A new onsen (hot springs bath) has opened not *two kilometers* from J-List. Since I’m a big fan of Japanese onsen, sento (public baths) and saunas, this is great for me the kids. The onsen has three saunas and eighteen different baths, with everything from the herbal baths to simulated waterfalls to an electric bath — yes, there’s even an aloe bath. Getting naked with dozens of men has never been more fun.

My wife and I are watching a friend’s Twin Peaks collection, working our way through the series tape by tape. It’s really natsukashii — er, we feel really nostalgic — watching this snapshot of American pop culture from a decade ago. Incidentally, there was a series of Twin Peaks Georgia Coffee commercials featuring the actors from the show, with a little mini-mystery that unfolded with each commercial. If anyone has these on tape or any other format, please contact us so we can get them posted on CM-Watch!

Golden Week has officially descended on Japan. We’re still working here, with Kaori and Tomo taking turns coming in to process orders and do mail, but unfortunately, since the post office is closed, EMS orders can’t be sent out until Monday. We’ll make sure all orders are prepped and ready to go as soon as the holiday is over.

Tonight’s update is a very nice one, with many new items, including:

• First, we’re proud to announce the triumphant return of Beppin School to the J-List site — see the excellent item, featuring some of the best Japanese angels ever, on magazine page 1
  
• Speaking of magazines, we’ve got several other new offerings, including the excellent new issue of Panst Dream (one of our favorites) — great for leg and up-skirt fans
  
• For adult video fans, we’ve got fresh stock of the two best-selling videos in J-List’s history, Fubuki Akira’s excellent Baby Oil and Immoral Lesson (see the in-stock video page) as well as stock of the popular “Deep Kiss” series by Soft on Demand
  
• For photobook fans’ we’ve got several copies of Tazawa Minako’s lovely “D-Cup Angel” photobook
  
• For our loyal JPOP fans, 20+ new JPOP CD singles, including some nice items including “East End x Yuri” (silly Japanese rappers)
  
• For fans of older models, we’ve got several nice new gouka-bon-format books on the high-end S&M photobooks page
  
• Finally, a wonderful new puzzle item for people who love the modern/traditional artwork of contemporary illustrator Morita Haruyo!
  

We’re also happy to announce that we’ve cut the price of the excellent adult anime game, Viper M1, the excellent English-language hentai game will lots of great animation. Also, look for lower prices on our popular costumes, including the only Race Queen, Sexy Nurse and Sailor Moon costumes available from Japan!
