It shouldn't matter how expensive the
dollar is right now. Should only matter how expensive the
yen is right now. Everything aside from the dollar, has been diving together, so converting from real to yen, should be
proportionately the same as before. Contrary to popular belief, YesAsia isn't the only international distributor of Japanese CDs/DVDs. There are vendors
based in Japan...
*cough* CD Japan *cough*
who only accept yen, and your VISA or MasterCard takes care of the currency exchange, however great or bad for you the exchange rate may be. If the dollar is really so expensive right now, then you might 'lose' less money on CD Japan's you-get-what-you-pay-for deluxe shipping, than on the real to dollar exchange rate.
I would approach Hirama with something rare like the 2001 release of Yume to Negoto (and/or my limited copy of Electric Mole that's already been signed by HZM), but that's because I'm an elitist bastard. I don't believe in seeking autographs onto goods that just
anyone could have. Autographs don't
add collector value - they
multiply it, so a rare CD/DVD will gain more value from an autograph than a common CD/DVD.
