Blue Note CDs in Japan

My brother lives there; I visited him several times over the last few years. I found shelves of Blue Note CDs in stores (even dept stores), many of them not issued in North America. The big Tower Records in Tokyo had an entire floor just for jazz and world music. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. I wasn't into vinyl at the time, so didn't look for it (plus it's more difficult to get home).

I've somewhat jokingly talked of going back for a few days just for CD and record buying. It's a great place to visit, and not that expensive. (I think Vancouver is more expensive these days.) New Blue Note CDs there were about 1500 yen, or about CDN$15. I'll happily guide anyone who wants to pay my way...
