Japanese video stores such as Tsutaya and GEO rent DVDs, Blu-ray discs, comics, video games and CDs. Sometimes they sell off the older DVD’s and CD’s as ex-rentals and recently GEO had a big sale with whole shelves of CD’s on sale for just 100 yen each. It’s been fantastic wandering around the aisles of various stores and as an entire album is less than a single song on iTunes I’ve been quite happy to try things I wouldn’t have otherwise bought. Surprisingly a large number of the CDs were by Scatman John, which even at 100 yen, I managed to resist.
41 CDs = ¥4,100
So if you happen to see me in my car singing hits from the nineties you now know why.

Chris-san, my favorite composers are John Dowland and Henry Purcell both of England in the 17th and 18th centuries. They made very elegant music. Don’t you feel nostalgia about England?
Hi Yumemakura,
If you like Dowland and Purcell you might also like Thomas Tallis (c. 1505 – 1585).
With modern conveniences like Skype, import food stores, satellite television and the internet it is quite easy to get a good dose of England when I need it.

Great work. Is that sale still ongoing? And much kudos to you for buying a Presidents of the United States of America CD!
Presidents of the USA is a GREAT band! 🙂 Good call.
