That was a pleasant surprise! Compared to the odd few singles they have released over the last 5 or so years, they feel more "together" this time round.

How do you order from here if you don't live in Japan? I see a few things I'd like.

You have to use middleman services if you personally don't know anyone living in Japan who can help you on this

I know CDJapan has middleman services offered now but their charges are not cheap

Then again most Japanese middleman services are not to begin with , it also depends on you for to consider other factors

I was using tenso for buying stuff on mu-mo, but ever since last year they're only offering DHL to Canada so I've stopped using them til more cheaper shipping options are available again. Anyhoo, thanks for the reply.

[KarenPang]

Oh yes DHL is so expensive it's not funny

Ironically it was a bit cheaper if not on par cost wise when my personal middleman chose it for me sometime back as he solely takes care of all the BREAKERZ fanclub related matters for me

But given a choice I will not use DHL even though I think they're better & more faster than EMS

For CDJapan (https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/daiko/) , I think you should email them 1st on the shipping choice they offer for their proxy service in case the final bill they imposed on you give you a big shock to the system

My biggest beef with couriers like DHL besides their shipping costs is also you get charged customs for almost everything. With EMS or even sometimes I just use regular airmail you don't tend to get charged those. Anyway I'll read up on things with CDJapan and see what I think. I'll be honest though. I don't see why these websites can't ship overseas directly. L'arc-en-ciel has a large enough international fan base and Japan knows it. Back in 2012 Namie Amuro had a shop set up through her Facebook page and I bought a bunch of merchandise. The only shipping option was EMS but the cost didn't seem to change no matter how much or how little I added to my cart so I bought almost every item. Anyhoo, I'm going off topic here. I want that white L'arc-en-ciel 30th tshirt the most right now so hoping it'll work out.

[KarenPang]

Sorry I forgot that other countries have custom taxes imposed unlike where I live

I sometimes don't understand the way Japanese companies do business & they forget that sometimes the spending power of people living outside of Japan tend to be higher than what they face domestically

For L'arc , I don't know maybe they feel it's troublesome to have 2 separate websites to handle more or less the same type of enquiries & orders

Then again SPYAIR has 2 different separate websites for their own Japanese & international fans to order goods and both bands are under Sony so :s
