Why not? Sing<->TKO flights are darn cheap.... (comapred to while ago)
besides, some of your fellow countrymen are here in Tokyo once or twice
a year for such trips ^_^;

not only anime LDs, but games, (oh yeah... the dreamcast is also
slipping in price a bit... most stores sells it for 29800yen ($280 US or
so?), but few sells it for 25000yen (about $240US?)or so.... getting a
bit cheaper in price)
You can also get manga, doujinshi, and so on... 9and POC games, anime
goods, and tons of stuff... sooner or later, you'll start to compalin
about not enough space in your room to store these things...)

Saw the house of the Dead 2 (with gun controller) for 7000yen ($60+
US)the other day (for dream cast)

...get LD instead of VHS. the price is the same here... (VHS might even
cost more then LDs, actually...)
 Right now, the first press AMg LD is still around too, and the price
wasn't that bad either....

again, that only sounds like a selfish comment to some people who
economically supports the artists... getting VCD and saving money for
their own enjoyment, while driving artists out of business.

a nice sound system to compare the sound quality will also be nice...
