While I am running my yahoo store, people request things in Japan because it is hard to buy products in Japan.
The reason...
1- Site is only in Japanese
It is so hard to read and choose which one you want to buy.
2 - Most of on-line stores in Japan won't ship to other countries.
3-They can't speak in English.
They don't understand what you want to ask.
4-They don't use Paypal.
etc...
So, why not try request shopping?
If you have a wishlist for kawaii cute Japanese products like hello kitty plush, decole fabric, bento boxes and etc, why not send it to me?!
I will reply about details of request shopping in Japan.
