What ? That ' s just blatantly false . Socialist leaning countries not only historically have bigger recession , but significantly longer ones as well . <| sep |> CD Japan has a few and ships internationally but the selection is very limited . You can try places like Rakuten or Amazon Japan . If you have a Tenso account , you can buy from these places with little hassle through buyee proxy service provided by Tenso . For limited releases like Anmin Tofu probably the rarest release to own or Jugem ' je t ' aime , you use Yahoo Auctions Japan the eBay of Japan . Again , Tenso will be needed to sign up with buyee to use YAJ . As for signed stuff , if you are lucky to be in Japan during a fes she ' s in and you spot her , you can ask her for a signature but I usually see people rather get a pic with her . During the JPop Summit event in San Francisco , there was an autograph session for 2 days . That ' s how I got a few signatures and a pic with her . You can always try to find a signed CD on Yahoo Auctions but a couple problems there . I rarely see anyone sell their signed stuff of Wednesday and if you do find something , you won ' t know for sure if it really was signed by KOMI or just a forgery to bring in some more
