I live in Vancouver. There are Asian communities you can go there and shop for Asian CD's (only Japanese, Korean and Chinese).. usually, it is Taiwan or HK versions <- they're 1/2 price cheaper than JPN versions. So yea... it really depends on what major cities your friend is going..

I know it's totally possible to find Ayu's CDs here in Vancouver, I just dont know where. There are plenty of bootlegs in Chinatown or at nightmarket, but I reccommend the easy ol' internet. Delivers it right to your door.

I know there's stores in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal that sell Jpop CDs because of the big asian populations there... But I only been to Toronto once, and have never been shopping, so I cant say much more.

0.0 I need to get to TO someday soon. >_> Internet takes too much time har har. Anyone know of anyplace in South Ontario? I'ma not looking to travel far, but for the Xmas holidays I'll be going from Windsor (where I live) to Burlington Mall (anyone been there - and can tell me if theres any stores selling Ayu - Utada/Koda as well?), all the way to St. Catharines/Niagara area. ^^; Hope someone knows something - I'd really love to spend my holiday money on something worthwhile. :-D

Also Anyone who has been down the the border area of Windsor - Downtown, I know there is a HUGE Asian population of music stores. If anyone of you have ventured down there (I doubt it... but I have plenty Asian friends to ask) could you pretty please point me in the right direction? I'm not so good walking into a Chinese market... they all stare at me and think I'm lost or something. >_>

If u guys trust me I think I can help out in buying the CDs from singapore and send over to you guys.
But of course u'll have to pay for the postage which is about SGD$10(Registered mail) And of course the price of the CDs(Around SGD$20 for albums & SGD$10 for singles).
