yes!
please tell ignorant fools like myself where to buy jrock cds..................
CD Japan: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp
they always worked perfect for me.
also Third Stage if you're looking for more rare stuff, but they only accept IPMO or cash: www.mandrakeroot.co.jp/english/
they also work good and they usually send a bunch of free flyers in the package.

i think i got into jrock too late........
most of want i want seems out of print.....
just cos cdjapan says so doesn't mean it's out of print, necessarily.
You could also try HMV.co.jp (english page http://www.hmv.co.jp/index.asp?lang=en)
or Amazon.co.jp
has suicide ali even come out with a a cd yet?
I like Yesasia.com. You can buy lots of things there music and non music related and the site is easy to use and I've always gotten my orders in great condition.
if you are looking for anything from Dir en grey, Vidoll, Kagerou, or Rentrer en Soi, i'd suggest checking out www.free-will-america.com/store (http://www.free-will-america.com/store)
i've gotten almost all my Dir en grey stuff from there. and they only messed up an order of mine once, and all i had to do was call them and they sent me the correct stuff right away.
i use yesasia =]
I usually buy from yesasia or cdjapan. I think YesAsia costs more, but you get free shipping if you spend over $20 I think and if you order two items, you get a little mini toy. [But one I got was from some anime and I don't like it >.<]
CDJapan however, is a bit cheaper, but the shipping makes it cost more than it would on yesasia. You don't get free shipping, but you do get "frequent shopper" points (where 1 point = 1 yen) and you get 300 for your birthday and when you first sign up. And CDJapan has more availability for CDs than YesAsia (I believe).
But I prefer YesAsia. x]
how fast is yesasias shipping? like ive done free shipping on websites and its taken like forever to get to me. is the free shipping slow as hell?
no let's see it says free shipping is like 5 - w.e number of days i think ..but i usually get mine withing 3

you get your stuff within 3 days of ordering it with free shipping?? damn. i did express shipping with cdjapan and it cost me like 12 bucks and it took like 6 days.
Whenever I do free shipping at YesAsia it takes like 7 or more business days. I usually get my stuff faster when I order from CDjapan.
And it's funny, most of the CDs when I order from YesAsia have cracked cases. :\
I usually use the artists ohp. Sometimes I use Annyoung ( awesome shipping rates ). I have freinds that send me stuff as well. I used to use Yesasia alot , but man are they overpriced.
Sometimes I use visunavi's links to stores as well.
Common bands such as DeG are at the gawth store...I mean hottopic. I've seen a couple of Kagerou cds , and a ancafe cd there too , as well as gazette and miyavi.
I know the best buys here carry Loudness and Seikima II ( both awesome bands ).
I guess it depends on what our looking for , Amazon and Tower records are nice too.

the only Diru cds i saw at Hot Topic are the US releases of Withering to Death and The Marrow of a Bone. nothing import. and ive never seen any other jrock bands stuff there, unless it was other US released editions like Balzac stuff.

Pitts has a huge asian population , so the guy who is the head manager there orders alot of import stuff for the store. The prices are astronomical and not worth it , but he can get common cds. I think he just has stuff left over from last summers "I suddenly love j-rock" surge of fankids. The Mills HT has a huge collection of random cures and mess.
It's the only reason for me to walk into that place. D:
I'm from Holland and I order my stuff at Neo Tokyo.
Some cd's are expensive, but there are also cd's with a normal price (12-17 euros).
They also have merch, manga, anime aaaand...probably more XD
j-xyz.com had some things and if youve got cash and time theyll find specific shit for you
