iTunes Japan Music Card iTunes Japan Music Card

ITUNESCARD   iTunes Japan Music Card
This item is in stock in Japan.   Weight: 200 g.   $22.50/$39.50
Product type: iTunes Japan Music Card
Buy Now! Save to Wishlist
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, or opt for both.

Once you have your iTMS Japan code, follow these easy steps:

  1. Load iTunes on your Mac or PC. If you don't have it yet, download it from Apple.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

  7. 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.
  8. 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.

Music from the Japanese iTunes Store is fully compatible with iTunes and iPods from any country. iTunes has no issues with maintaining multiple accounts in more than one music store. It couldn't be simpler! And best of all, you can surf and buy music from your iPhone (version 1.1.1 firmware or higher) or iPod Touch! Just make sure you're signed in to the Japan iTunes Music Store with iTunes when you sync the iPhone/iPod Touch and login data will be carried over.

Note: J-List is providing this iTunes Japan Music Card as a service to J-List customers. The cards must be used in accordance with Apple's iTunes online store policies. iTunes music cards cannot be returned or exchanged for cash in any currency after purchases are processed. Offer void where prohibited.

A great new tool for anyone aspiring to study Japanese, this is a totally revised and updated set of high-quality laminated study cards that feature all the kanji you need to master for the Japanese Proficiency Test, levels 3 & 4, the first two levels that students of Japanese should attempt.

A meticulously researched set of die-cut cards, you get 103 introductory and 181 intermediate cards. The double-sided flashcards each feature 6 kanji compound words for more than 1700 vocabulary words, all readings for each kanji, and a writing guide to allow to you learn to write each kanji in the correct stroke order. The cards are printed on 12 point Caroline card stock with rounded corners for increased durability, and cards for the different study levels are color coded -- dark green for level 4, dark blue for level 3.

The cards also come with a high-quality reference card for hiragana and katakana and an index. Comes with high-quality two-part box with plastic tray, that allows you to separate the sets of cards. This new set has been updated, with improved card designs and a thicker, baked-on UV finish for longer life, the addition of radicals on kanji cards, and other improvements.

J-List's region free DVD players make it easy to enjoy DVDs from every corner of the globe, be it imported anime or "Indies" titles from Japan, Europe-release PAL format discs, or anything. This new player from RJ Tech is loaded with high-end features, including *upscaling* to high-def LCD or Plasma TVs, allowing DVDs to be scaled up to their maximum quality in 720p and 1080i format. It also features an HDMI connection (with included cable), the best way to connect your devices since everything you need is carried through one digital connection. The player also supports MPEG 4 and AVI/XVID files burned onto DVD media, USB drive and SD card video playback, . What more could you ask for in a DVD player?

 

Peter Says:

What is DIVX? The DIVX standard is a codec for encoding movies and video into extremely small sizes, enabling them to be watched easily on computers with DIVX playback software installed. DIVX movies look great on a computer, but even better when viewed on a TV, with their near-DVD video quality, and this DVD player allows you to burn your favorite movies onto DVD-R media and watch them easily. I love these players because of the many features they offer, even beyond what name-brand players give you, like the ability to throw some JPGs or AVI format movies on a USB drive or SD card and watch them.

Peter Says:

I've always been a huge fan of Ai Yori Aoshi, the story of Kaoru Hanabishi, who is betrothed to marry Aoi Sakuraba, the daughter of a wealthy family. This is a two-part game that takes you the story in fun new directions, featuring all the original voice actors, tons of animation, and even mini-games to enjoy!

 

One day, a beautiful kimono-clad young woman appears in front of college student Kaoru Hanabishi. Unbeknownst to him, the woman is Aoi Sakuraba, who has been his betrothed since they were children, an arranged marriage set up by their wealthy families. In the intervening years, Kaoru had cut ties to his family and its corporate group and cannot accept Aoi, but as he gets to know her, he's won over by her sense of devotion and her kind heart. Aoi sympathizes with Kaoru’s delicate plight and resolves to stay and live with him anyway. And so the young star-crossed lovers, both born with silver spoons in their mouths, start their new life together in Kaoru’s cramped apartment...

This is a dating-sim style interactive game for standard Windows computers. The game is an interactive anime game for Windows and presents dramatic interactive stories that everyone can enjoy. Features full-frame animation and fantastic artwork, and includes not one but two complete games, since you get the South Island Edition and Winter Lake Edition in this special boxes set. Suitable for ages 15 and up. A super title that all fans of bishoujo games should make sure not to miss! Also great for fans of cat girls.

(C) KOU FUMIZUKI-HAKUSENSYA/AIAO PROJECT
(C) KID

Kaoru Hanabashi. Kaoru is a student at Meiritsu University. Since his childhood, he has been groomed to be the next president of the Hanabishi corporate group. But after receiving a very strict education, he left the Hanabishi clan, and now leads a penniless life alone in a cheap apartment. He belongs to a photo club at the university. He is very honest and gentle. Aoi Sakuraba. Aoi was raised to be the bride of the son of the Hanabishi family. She is a daughter of the Sakurabas, a family that has become a major business conglomerate from a tradition of making kimonos. As the family heir, ordinarily Aoi’s husband would take over the family business. Aoi has been training to be a good wife since she first met Kaoru when she was small. As a result, even though she was born into riches, she is very good at housekeeping. She also truly loves Kaoru.
Miyabi Kagurazaki. Miyabi is Aoi's caretaker. She knows Aoi very well, and is well aware that Aoi has loved Kaoru ever since she was a little girl. Miyabi patiently watches Aoi and Kaoru together. She seems to act a bit cold toward them, but she is really a kind person with their best interests at heart. Tina Foster. Tina goes to the same university as Kaoru. She also belongs to the photo club. She is an American who grew up in Hakata and is energetic and outgoing. Still, she can't seem to express her true feelings honestly to Kaoru.
Taeko Minazuki. Taeko is a sophomore and also a member of the photo club, to which Kaoru and Tina belong. Though she is awkward and makes a lot of mistakes, she is always positive and tries her best. Chika Minazaki. Chika is Taeko’s cousin. She is an upbeat, active junior high school student.
Mayu Miyuki. Mayu was born into the family that operates the Miyuki Silk Company. She enters Meiritsu University after coming back from abroad. She also has been in love with Kaoru since she was a child, and ardently pursues Kaoru.

One of the questions we get asked at J-List a lot is, "I want to start learning Japanese, what book do you recommend?" Most textbooks are entirely dry, uninteresting, and cannot follow a student's pace, leaving students frustrated. However, a new series by The Japan Times has recently taken Japanese language for foreigners by storm, and comes highly recommended by anyone who has taken it -- Genki, An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese. The entire course has 23 lessons, guiding the student from the beginning until the student has mastered elementary grammar and can read not only hiragana and katakana but over 300 of the most commonly used kanji as well.

Each lesson has: 1) a dialogue introducing vocabulary and grammar in a situation the student may find familiar; 2) a list of the vocabulary with hiragana, katakana, kanji and English meaning; 3) grammar with full explanations in English; 4) interesting usage notes; 5) several pages of practice questions designed to be fun and interesting incorporating dialogue skills, writing skills, and thinking skills; 6) additional vocabulary. Each lesson also has a complementary lesson in hiragana/katakana/kanji, with reading and writing exercises. The separate workbook has more writing exercises and kanji writing practice. This is simply the recommended textbook for anyone beginning Japanese up to 3rd level in the JLPT.

THIS BOOK: This book is textbook II, starting from basic knowledge of grammar and kanji #146 to 317. Has Lessons 13 - 23 and follows the structure as written above. Indexes are in the back as well as tables for numbers, counters, verb conjugations and a general map of Japan. 7" x 10" (18 x 25.5 cm) 354 pages, card cover perfectbound. A teaching guide is included.
