I'm looking to buy the Samurai Champloo OST's, I could go through Cdjapan but my card doesn't seem to work with them. And Yesasia seems to not have them up for preorder. So does anyone recommend anywhere else?

My last CD batch came from Amazon Japan. Shipping is more affordable with them. They also have an English language order page, so the hard part is to find the Japanese writing for the title you are looking for.

How's their service, just as good amazon.com here?

As for Amazon Japan, use Economy shipping... It's devilishly quick and significantly cheaper than Express [or whatever it's called.] Don't believe the 2-4 week estimate.

Whats the usually ship time for you? And could you or anyone else find the Samuai Champloo OST's on amazon.co.jp? I'd be grateful if anyone could do that for me.

I don't get why CD Japan had two different listings for Samurai Champloo OSTs, but here they are.

So far, very good. I ordered a relatively large package (about 4 CDs a DVD and two books) and everything arrived safe and sooner than I expected. Shipping was about $20 cheaper. Supposedly there are some report that some packages get lost because of DHL (packages seem to be sent from Amazon JP to Amazon US to you), but my friend and me have had no problems.

Also, they have more stuff than CDJapan. It is my impression that if something ran out from CDJapan there are good chances Amzazon still has it.

I've got 1 question about amazon.jp

I don't have a credit card, do you know if they can accept International Postal Money Orders?

Usually when a first press edition exists for an item (and it's not a different item completely, such as one with a different product #) and you pre-order the item from Amazon JP, you'll get the first pressing. Only in rare occasions, where there is overwhelming demand, that Amazon JP will have a little blurb that warns you that it might not be able to supply the LE to all pre-orders.

In this case, I don't see that little blurb yet, so I'm pretty sure you should be able to get it. I can't give you 100% assurance, but I can tell you that whenever I've pre-ordered anything from Amazon JP in the past, I've always received the LE editions, if they existed.

The only situation when preordering does not ensure a limited edition version is when the demand is so high that the item can actually sell out during preorder. Examples that I remember being Love Hina Process 9 and Tsukihime Prologue DVD.
