Best place to find import / anime soundtrack CDs?

[infinitesymphony]

The prices on imported CDs at most places (ex. Amazon) are prohibitively expensive. I've tried buying from AnimeNation twice, and both times, the order took around two months to ship.

Where do you buy your import and/or anime soundtrack CDs?

I get mine from
http://www.play-asia.com/
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/
They both sell the real stuff imported from japan.

http://www.cdjpapan.co.jp for me... very fast shipping usually 3-4 days (if they list it as 3-4 days) =) good experience with them...

Another vote for www.cdjapan.co.jp. I always go to them for my Japanese CDs.

Yet another vote for CD Japan. Never had a bad experience with them over several years, and they sell legit merchandise.

I usually order from amazon.co.jp

Thanks for the responses, guys. I've added amazon.co.jp, cdjapan.co.jp, and play-asia.com to my mental list

I can't hang around Play Asia for too long or I'll be tempted to import a bunch of video games.

Where would you say is the cheapest place to buy anime/import music? Any places with routine deals/discounts/clearance? It's expensive stuff.

Unfortunately Japanese CDs are expensive in Japan, so they're not going to magically become cheaper over here.

It sounds like someone has never heard of magical thinking.
