Is getting K-pop as expensive as J-pop? Or did you get BoA's music through a Japanese music company?
Everytime I get something from CDJapan, I take a big hit to my wallet...the last case was a Utada Hikaru single.
I usually pick up my stuff from Kinokuniya so I don't get hit hard from the shipping. Since you're from Santa Rosa, you might want to try to hit up the Kinokuniya at SF Japantown. But if you're going to get something online, Yesasia is your best bet. CDJapan is based in Japan so the shipping is very expensive. Yesasia is a little more expensive than CDJapan, but you can count on paying less for shipping. And there's always eBay if you want to get your stuff second-hand.

Thanks for the advice.
I usually make it a point to go by Japantown when I'm in San Francisco. It's a good place for lunch and dinner. Last time was for a Puffy concert. I scooped up an armload of manga for my sister at Kinokuniya, but I didn't get anything myself . I did get a Detroit7 album at Mikado though...about as expensive as getting it at CDJapan, except no shipping charges.
You know...it really sucks being in Santa Rosa sometimes. It would be great if I was interested in Mexican culture, but I'm not. Everytime I go to San Francisco I don't want to leave--everything I need is there. _________________
