The 5, 6, 7, 8's

[Japanimaniac]

I liked them on Kill Bill. A lot. Then their song pops up in american commercials. Now that I've about worn the special feature "5, 6, 7, 8's perform I Walk Like Jane Mansfield and I'm Blue" on my Kill Bill DVD out, I'm in search of their CDs. My problem? I can't find them!!

I've tried EBay, YesAsia, and even this little Californian japanese store's website, but I can't find one CD by them. Anyone know where I might be able to find one? Or at least a few songs besides what's on Kill Bill?

Ah, awesome! Thanks a lot. I didn't think to use the japanese Amazon.

I think Lydia is the smartest of us all....*blinks* seriously...I tried finding them once on CDJapan when I first heard them (cuz I liked them) and found nothing...Lydia, you rule!

Yes, CDJapan is your best be, I think outside of actually knowing someone in Japan to send them to you. One word of advice, if you decide to use a Visa/MC Check card to make the purchase, know that CDJ takes F O R E V E R to charge you for your purchase, meaning that you will have had the CD's for three months before the money is taken out - sending your account into overdraft if you aren't careful!!

So, if you order, keep the charge in mind until it clears on your bank statement.

Oh, and it may bill through NeoWing, which is what showed on mine. Still CDJ, but I guess foreign orders show as NEOWing??

Also, depending on where you live, you may have options.,,

If you live in California or New York/New Jersey, there should be either a JBC Bookstore that sells used books. A Kinokuniya that should be part of the Mitsuwa chain. Maybe a store called Book Off that usually sells a good amount of used Manga, books, DVD and CD's. (A very cool store that is all over Japan and began opening here)

You can also look for international versions like the ones that YesAsia carries.

Hope this helps.

Neowing.co.jp is the Japanese language version of CDJapan. Neowing is their original company name.

In their early years they never dealt with indies releases, but i'm glad they've now embraced that market as well.

[Illaparatzo-sama]

But they're not embracing it very well yet v_________v

They only have the more 'major' 'indies' acts. Lareine, Kozi, Nightmare, Moi Dix Mois, etc. No stuff like NOIZ yet, sigh.

Pretty much every UK site I've just had a look at sells Bomb the Rocks and a few sell another album, the name of which I can't remember. I'm pretty sure I've seen it around in shops too. Odd that you can't seem to find it on American sites.

[Japanimaniac]

Yeah, it's like they don't exist when you check most American sites. Though I did find a few copies of Bomb The Twist on EBay today, and a couple others...but you can never tell whether it's an album or a single or hits collection on there.

[PrincessBerriKiller]

Yeh, indies tend to be hard to find...J-xyz sells some indies and sometimes you can find some indies on Yes-Asia but it si rare to see them appear that much...

Yay...now I know how to get their CD's...thanks for the indirect help...
