Product type: iTunes Japan Music Card
Apple's iTunes Music Store is incredibly popular in Japan, with hundreds of thousands of tracks of great music from Japan available for 150 or 200 yen per song. For fans of Japanese music around the world it doesn't seem possible to buy through the Japan iTMS, without a Japanese address and credit card. There is a way, however -- using the Japanese iTunes Music Card from Apple! A prepaid card that's charged with money for music purchases, this is a great way for J-POP/J-ROCK fans all over the world to get access to Japan's top-name music directly through their Mac or PCs.
When you click the Add to Cart button for this product, you'll be able to choose a Music Card with the new denominations of 1500 or 3000 yen of credit on it. You can also choose to have the card sent to you normally through the mail from Japan, have the J-List staff send you a scan of your card number through email.
New! You can send a gift certificate for a 3000 yen iTunes card to someone special. To use this option, please purchase an email-able J-List gift certificate and choose the iTunes credit gift option instead of purchasing this product.
To activate an iTMS Japan code, follow these easy steps:
Load iTunes on your Mac or PC. If you don't have it yet, download it from Apple.
If you've already got an account in your home country, sign out by clicking on the Account button in the upper left hand corner, then Sign Out.
At the bottom of the iTunes Music Store window, choose the Japan Store. The name may appear in kanji, but it's easy to find.
Click the Redeem button along the right side of the iTMS, and enter the scratch-off Redeem Code printed on the back of the card when asked.
iTunes will show you a dialog box asking for your current account. Since we're making a new iTMS account for the Japan sture, click Create Account.
Follow the steps to create a new account, first agreeing to the iTunes agreement (step 1 of 3), then entering email, birthdate and verification question (step 2).
Important: When signing up for an iTunes account with a pre-paid card, some customers have reported that iTMS won't let you proceed without entering a credit card. In order to bypass this, hit the "Home" button and begin the Redeem process again, and you'll see the "None" button the second time through. This is a known issue that affects Japanese users in Japan as well.
At step 3, where you are asked for your (Japanese) address. You can enter any address you like. Note that you must enter your name twice, once for "kanji" and once for "pronunciation" (but you can enter the same information into both fields). You can do this in English or any language that's supported by iTunes -- the ability to read Japanese is never required for the iTunes Japan Store -- so for the phonetic spelling you can just enter the same normal English characters as the other 'name' fields. Note that there is no verification performed for any of this information, so you can enter any random address you like.
Enjoy purchasing great music and audio content directly from Japan in the Japan iTunes Music Store! Now that you have an account tied to a prepaid card, you can get full access to the "Free iTunes Single of the Week" from Japan, and future prepaid card credit can be added to your existing account.

Product type: NINTENDO DS
The third iteration of the Nintendo DS handheld developed and manufactured by Nintendo. For those familiar with the Nintendo DS, its clamshell design with two LCD screens inside, this DSi comes with a lot of new features: speakers have been improved and its two screens are larger measuring at 3.25 inches instead of the previous 3 inches. The handheld has also two VGA (0.3 megapixel) digital cameras; one on the internal hinge pointed towards the user and the other in the outer shell. The system is fully compatible with Nintendo DS cartridge software from around the world, meaning you can play all your favorite games, although Nintendo has announced that there will be Japan-only downloadable content that will require a Japanese DSi to access -- why is why so many of our customers have asked us to carry the units.
The DSi is 74.9 mm high x 137 mm wide x 18.9 mm thick when closed, which is about 12% thinner (2.6 mm) than the Nintendo DS Lite.
Other technical features :
- CPUs: 133 MHz.

- Storage: 256 MB of internal Flash memory with an SD/SDHC card expansion slot
