^ That would be a nice one to get, since I do like that song. Didn't realize it was a cover.

Generasia tells me that Anzai Maria released her single of it in 1973, and the original English language version by Emy Jackson and the Smashmen was released as a single in 1965, so yeah, both of those are on 7-inch vinyl. YAJ currently has reasonably priced copies of both versions, so I might just check the listings next time I do a round of From Japan/Yahoo Auctions.

(I actually have a track by Emy Jackson on a wonderful compilation CD called Nippon Girls, but it's not "Namida no Taiyou".)

EDIT: And of course there are YouTubes of both versions. The surf guitar on the Emy Jackson version is just too cool.

Huh. I didn't realise it was originally originally in English.

If you ever want a list of H!P songs that are covers, just let me know. I've got you... covered.

Thanks, I might just consider that, if and when I can manage to get back to Japan.

While I'm Stateside, though, buying Japanese vinyl just ends up being a VERY costly business. Even if I find something super-cheap on Yahoo! Auctions Japan, the various fees and shipping for that one record would add up to at least five bucks. Through other online sources, I'm looking at even higher prices. A seller on eBay currently has a copy of Emy Jackson's "Namida no Taiyou" for $22 + $4 shipping, and Otokichi Premium has the Anzai Maria version for ¥1050 + a minimum of ¥330 for shipping.

But a ¥105 record at RECOfan Shibuya is a ¥105 record.

Ah yeah, fair enough! Shipping is part of the reason I can't afford H!P releases.

Has anyone bought items off Dora_ts17 on ebay recently?
If so have they replied to your emails?
I bought Petit Best 13 DVD, Early Single's Box Set, S/mileage Suki yo Event V, Aika Solo DVD from YAJ and Aika's B.L.T off them over 2 months ago now and they said they forgot to send the stuff with my last package but I have emailed them twice recently and they have not replied.. I am slightly worried..

But I have bought from them from YAJ and their Ebay and they have sent me all my stuff.. just worried this time because it seems Dora is not replying to any of my emails and this stuff was ordered before christmas

I stopped buying off them after the unfortunate incident when they shipped my two packaged to the wrong address, and then proceeded to only ship one of them back to me, after making me re-pay shipping.

Yeah.

I was pissed.

^^ They also shipped my package to the wrong address before but sent it to me after again.

^ I have bought so many items off Dora but after this time I am not sure what to think. It has been months now and I got the stuff off YAJ so it wasn't cheap..
And the fact I didn't buy it through Ebay does not give me customer protection thing...

I emailed them and sent them a message on ebay, if I do not get a reply what would I be able to do?
I paid through paypal so I have the proof of a transaction but how would I prove I didn't get my items. I probably wouldn't get a refund would I?

he just PMed me letting me know my Ayumi album has been shipped, and marked it as shipped on Ebay.

PM him again.
