For anyone who may be interested, here's a list of some of the more expensive
CDs I'd like to get.  These are primarily Japanese imports and for some reason
their CDs just naturally cost a bit more than our US domestic CDs, usually
around $30 for an album instead of about $20.  *shrug*  I listen to lots of
different types of music and would probably enjoy and like to have a ton of
CDs by tons of artists.  But since these are more expensive and generally not
as easy to find, I thought I'd make a wish list for them.  If you're feeling
generous or just want to see a little more about one side of my musical
interests, here you go.  Expect more to be added over time.  :)  BTW, depending
on where you look, you may find Japanese artists with the names I have here,
last name first in the Japanese order, or with the names reversed in the
first name first western order.  If you search somewhere and find nothing,
try reversing the names.

Suggested web sites for ordering:
  http://www.yesasia.com/ (US based)
  http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/ (Japan based; site is in English)
P.S. -- Look for overseas versions at YesAsia.com; they're typically a bit
cheaper than the direct imports and supposedly have translated inserts.
I don't think the CDs themselves are any different though so if you can
only find one or the other version, it shouldn't matter.
