Re: New Underworld album - Barking (Sept. 13, Sept 2 Japan)
When it comes to purchasing Japanese albums, it's useful to know that Japan has some weird price controls whereby for the first 2 years of an album's life, the price is fixed, so it's doesn't matter where you buy it from; the price is going to be the same everywhere.

The only differentiation (especially for overseas purchases) is shipping costs and customer service.

So, with that said, several of us (myself included) have had very good experiences over the years ordering from hmv.co.jp. I've found their shipping costs to be reasonable, their shipping speed fast, and their site easy to navigate in English.

Amazon.co.jp is another reputable option, of course.
