Greetings from J-List November 26, 2000

in Your Friend in Japan

Merry Christmas! Christmas isn’t for another month, but today was our “uso no kurisumasu” (fake Christmas), since this was the last day we could have Christmas with all of us here. Kazuki and Rina loved Christmas, American-style, and now are quite willing to live in the U.S. forever.

It’s funny that California can feel so “close” to us — actually, San Diego feels much closer to my wife than Tokyo, since she can relax and shop to her hearts content while here, without stressing about the crowds and people in Tokyo. We’re extremely lucky to live on either end of the LAX-NRT flight corridor, a huge market that dozens of airlines serve. Because the Los Angeles-Narita corridor has so much competition, we can generally fly round trip for around $400 per person, which is often less than it costs to fly domestic.

While we’ve been in the States, life in Japan has continued. The biggest news is the announcement of the “dekichatta kekkon” (a marriage that’s the result of an accidental pregnancy) of singer and “talent” Kimura Takuya (the Brad Pitt of Japan, known universally as “Kimtaku”) and singer Kudo Shizuka (one of the “big four” idol singers of the 1980’s). Kimtaku has been dating the older woman, much to the consternation of millions of young Japanese women, who would love to be dating the most handsome man in Japan. It’s very “Amuro” of them (singer Amuro Namie married TRF member Sam when she got pregnant, putting her career on hold to have the child).

For today’s update, we’ve got a nice update of new items to the J-List site, including:

  • First, new magazines, including a new item for J-List fans, TV Pic, a magazine filled with great color photos of Japan’s most popular idols, singers and talents
  • Some great new photobooks, both hardcover and softcover, including Eichi Bauko’s excellent “H” photobook and Endo Akiko’s excellent “Shining” erotic photobook
  • As always, fresh stock of some of our best photobook items — including the lovely Hoshino Aki’s “Tomorrow” offering
  • For leg fetish fans, some positively incredible new items, including the dynamite Fetish Hip Club, a wonderful tribute to the female ass, and more
  • Two great past issues of the excellent MPEG Soft Catalog , which offer great video on two VCDs with an all color magazine
  • For fans of Soft on Demand’s great new DVD offerings, we’ve got several great ones, including the Best of Tekoki, Hand Job Play vol. 1 and 2, and the best hits of the highly erotic 30 year old AV actress Makihara Reiko
  • Some great new erotic manga, including a super new volume by the extremely popular Azuki Kurenai, creator of the excellent “It’s a wonderful feeling” (one of the best-selling erotic manga works we’ve ever had).

By the time you’re reading this, we’ll be hopping over the Pacific on our Malysian Airlines flight. We’ll wave to you as we fly by!
