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.

2. Japanese T-shirt "Looking for a Japanese Girlfriend"

Wed, 26 Mar 2008 00:59:47 -0400

When we made our first "Looking for a Japanese Girlfriend" funny Japanese T-shirt back in 1997, we had no idea what a cult we were creating. Apparently there's a whole bunch of guys in the world who wouldn't mind getting attention from Japanese females. Our best-selling T-shirt ever, this shirt features clear, clean text and a message that is perhaps best translated as "Now accepting applications for Japanese girlfriends."

Mon, 27 Aug 2007 06:14:31 -0400

Another great taste from Japan that's been around for more than a century, this is Kasugai kompeito (also written konpeito) candy, a kind of hard candy that looks like stars, exploding out in all directions. This is a tasty package of an authentic sweet candy from Japan's past, with a ziplock seal for freshness. Each package is 6" x 8" (15 x 21 cm). As seen in the Ghibli film Spirited Away, by Hayao Miyazaki (this is what Kamaji feeds to the little soot sprites). (More like this) (Direct link...

Wed, 16 May 2007 12:57:29 -0400

A great and totally wacky new Japanese T-shirt from J-List! A famous slogan of the Meiji Restoration, an exciting time in Japan's history when Japanese rallied around Emperor Meiji to create a strong, modern nation free of the influence of Western nations. A famous slogan studied by all Japanese (it even appears in James Clavell's novels about Japan), the slogan in Japanese is "sonno joi" (sohn-NOH JOH-ee). The silhouette of Admiral Perry's black ships, which are seen in the background. Very...

10. Japanese T-shirt "It Is Forbidden To Commit Seppuku" (black)

Wed, 16 May 2007 12:57:10 -0400

Every country has its list of "taboos" and Japan is no different. Here's a great new wacky Japanese T-shirt showing some things you should avoid doing in Japan: sleeping with your head pointing to the north, putting chopsticks straight up in rice (both related to Japanese funerals), and entering a house with dirty shoes on. This bizarre new shirt helps you keep these in mind. Also, it's very rude to commit ritual disembowelment (hara-kiri), so the back of this shirt lists this important...

Wed, 16 May 2007 12:57:10 -0400

Here's a wacky Japanese T-shirt that warns you not to work too hard, to take time to smell the roses as you travel down the road of life. The message on the shirt says "Karoshi: be careful not to work too hard." Designed by Japanese illustrator Kenji Takahashi.

13. Japanese T-shirt "Dirty American Devil" - Camouflage Limited Edition

Wed, 16 May 2007 12:57:10 -0400

Available once again! Because we love bizarre messages in Japanese, we tried to think of the most esoteric one ever! During World War II, the universal word for the Allied soldiers was "kichiku beihei" which translates literally as "barbarian American soldiers" or better as "dirty American devils" (thus it corresponds to the word "Jap"). Guaranteed to get bizarre looks from Japanese co-eds on campus, this stylish shirt is very colorful, and shamelessly puts out its beautiful kanji message for...

Wed, 31 Oct 2007 05:28:03 -0400

The famous Japanese icon Lucky Cat (in Japanese, "Maneki Nako" or "inviting cat") is supposed to bring you luck, especially good luck in business and increased wealth. Our version of this classical Japanese image is being a little rude, but he's cute and he knows it, so it's okay.

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 19:06:52 -0400

In Japan, the legal age for buying beer and tobacco is 20. In Japanese convenience stores, they have cute little characters who enforce this rule, sternly informing you that you must be 20 years old to buy beer or cigarettes. We thought they would make a great parody T-shirt, wacky yet cute at the same time. The text reads Osake, tobacco wa hatachi ni natte kara (literally, "Enjoy alcohol and tobacco after you turn 20"). Yellow shirt. Choose S, M, L and XL. (More like this) (Direct link to this...

25. Japanese T-shirt - Moe (Standard men's shirt)

Sun, 12 Aug 2007 17:04:11 -0400

No kanji character represents the heart of the otaku more than moé (sometimes written as moe , but pronounced with an accent on the second syllable, mo-EH), which can be translated as "burning with passion" and refers to both the super-cute female anime characters that make us fall in love with them, as well as the passion fans feel for anime, manga, or whatever they are into. This is a great shirt that features the moé kanji written with a traditional calligraphy (shuuji) brush...
