Gran Turismo 4 Prologue (グランツーリスモ4 プロローグ)

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-05-08T21:38:44+09:00

Gran Turismo 4 Prologue (グランツーリスモ4 プロローグ) is basically a really beefy demo of the full GT4 game. Released a year before the main game this version features basically all the modes in the final game but only about 50 vehicles (which I would argue is still a lot). Meant to tide fans over. For some reason this was not released in North America. Japanese ability not needed to play.

The game has been tested and plays great. The photo uploaded is of the actual game I am selling. Make sure that you have the necessary hardware to run Japanese Playstation 2 games before buying. This game will not run on an unmodified US/PAL system. You will need a Japanese PS2/Early Model PS3 or a mod for a US system. It will also play in some PC/MAC based emulators.

DVD games will be wrapped in a removable plastic sleeve and then placed in a bubble wrapped mailer for shipping. Please remember, the games will ship from Japan so please allow some additional shipping time. Also during Japanese postal holidays (New Year's, Golden Week, Obon) orders will be delayed while the post office is closed.

Ayumi Hamasaki - A Song for XX

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-05-08T15:24:15+09:00

A Song for ×× is the first album from Hamasaki Ayumi. It was a bit hit and led to Ayu-fever and made her a superstar.

Vinnk's Take: Is it Ayumi's best album? Depends on who you ask. I feel her music developed a lot more in later albums. But without a Song for XX there would be no other albums and it still has some great tracks. I love "Powder Snow" and "Poker Face" is a classic.

Tracklist:

1. "Prologue" (Instrumental)
2. "A Song for ××"
3. "Hana"
4. "Friend"
5. "Friend II"
6. "Poker Face"
7. "Wishing"
8. "You"
9. "As If..."
10. "Powder Snow"
11. "Trust"
12. "Depend on You"
13. "Signal"
14. "From Your Letter"
15. "For My Dear..."
16. "Present"

Mario Basketball 3 on 3 / Mario Basket 3 on 3 (マリオバスケ 3on3) is a very unique Mario sports basketball game.

Ayumi Hamasaki - Rainbow

Rainbow is Ayumi Hamasaki's 5th album and the first to incorporate English lyrics into the songs. Rainbow is the eighty-ninth highest selling Japanese album of all time.

Vinnk's Take: Another super solid album by Ayu. The track "Hanabi" is one of her most popular. "Voyage" and "Free & Easy" are other singles released from the album. Personally, I have always enjoyed the lesser known track "Real me" (see below). It's my favorite on the album.

4 Free & Easy
5 Heartplace
6 Over
7 HANABI

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-05-04T18:41:28+09:00

MY FAVORITE SONGS is a 1988 greatest hits album by influential City Pop singer Anri

Vinnk's Take: I do like Anri's later work, I think it is very good. But most people know her as a City Pop artist and that skill is on full display in this album which is a collection of her early (and most famous) songs. I like this album a lot and for me is the must have Anri collection. "Cat's Eye", "I Can’t Stop the Loneliness" and "Olivia o Kikinagara" are all classics.

Track listing

1. オリビアを聴きながら (Olivia o Kikinagara) – New take
2. 涙を海に返したい
3. コットン気分 (Cotton Kibun)
4. 砂浜 (Sunahama) – New take
5. 思いきりアメリカン (Omoikiri American)
6. CAT’S EYE (Original)
7. 悲しみがとまらない (I Can’t Stop the Loneliness)
8. 気ままにREFLECTION
9. 16 (Sixteen) BEAT
10. INNOCENT TIME
11. モーニングスコール (Morning Squall)
12. TROUBLE IN PARADISE (English long version)

hitomi - Traveler (CD+DVD 1st print edition)

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-05-02T00:02:13+09:00

Traveler is the 7th album by hitomi.

Vinnk's Take: I didn't actually listen to this album much until recently. It came out during the time I was back in the States finishing university so I didn't have the thrill of lisening to this one when it was new. That's too bad because as I have been discovering, this is a great album. You have rocking tracks like "Speed Star" and ballads like "Kokoro no Tabibito" that really show off hitomi's maturing voice talent. Don't make the mistake I did and overlook this one.

Track listing

1. "Comodón Johnson"
2. "Speed Star"
3. "Shiawasette, Nan desu ka? (シアワセッテ、ナンデスカ?)"
4. "Anti (ア・ン・チ)"
5. "Hikari (ヒカリ)"
6. "Steady"
7. "Kaze no Message (風の伝言)"
8. "Like A Free Bird"
9. "Status (ステータス)"
10. "Kokoro no Tabibito (心の旅人)"
11. "Moment"

DVD

1. "Kokoro no Tabibito (心の旅人)"
2. "Speed Star"

This CD has been tested and plays great. The photo uploaded is of the actual CD I am selling. Audio CDs from Japan have no region coding so they will play in any standard player. The DVD on the other hand will need a region 2 or region free player (or some software on a computer)

Koda Kumi - Real Emotion / 1000 no Kotoba

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-05-02T00:02:13+09:00

Real Emotion / 1000 no Kotoba is a special double A side single from Koda Kumi

Vinnk's Take: This song featured in FFX-2 is how a lot of people outside of Japan were introduced to Koda Kumi and it's not a bad track to get you into her music. Catchy and fast paced. No real reason to own this single other than the great cover art if you already own the album these songs are on. The only new music on here are the instrumental versions. But it's a nice piece to own if you collect Final Fantasy memorabilia.

Tracklist:

1. "Real Emotion" (original mix)
2. "1000 no Kotoba" (original mix)
3. "Real Emotion" (instrumental)
4. "1000 no Kotoba" (instrumental)

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-05-02T00:02:13+09:00

Do as Infinity - Do the Best (Greatest Hits Album) is the first "best of" album from the group.

Vinnk's Take: Do as infinity are a great mix of rock and pop. Really great guitar work under the powerful vocals. This is a compilation album of the best of their early (and most popular) songs. I personally prefer the edit of Boukensha Tachi on the Deep Forest album but this live version still rocks.

Tracklist:

1. "SUMMER DAYS" 3:54
2. "Tōku Made (遠くまで; Far Away)" 4:02
3. "Hi no Ataru Sakamichi (陽のあたる坂道; Sun-Lit Hill)" 4:26

5. "Heart" 4:04
6. "Enrai (遠雷; Distant Thunder)" 3:41
7. "Week!" 4:17
8. "new world" 5:24
9. "Yesterday & Today" 5:59
10. "Oasis" 4:44
11. "135" 4:32
12. "Fukai Mori (深い森; Deep Forest)" 4:04
13. "nice & easy" 4:20
14. "Boukensha Tachi (冒険者たち; Adventurers)" (Great Tour Band Version) 4:14
15. "Tangerine Dream" (Great Tour Band Version) 3:59
16. "Welcome!" (Great Tour Band Version) 3:08

Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus (閃乱カグラ SHINOVI VERSUS -少女達の証明-)

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-05-02T00:02:13+09:00

Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus (閃乱カグラ SHINOVI VERSUS -少女達の証明-) is the 3rd sexy ninja game in the Senran Kagura series and the first on the Vita. Instead of a 2D beat em up like the 3DS games this one o¥is more of a 3D Hack and Slash and takes the fan-service up a notch. Be warned. Pantsu.

The game has been tested and plays great. The photo uploaded is of the actual game I am selling. Make sure that you have the necessary hardware to run Japanese Playstation Vita games before buying.

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-05-02T00:02:13+09:00

Super Game Boy (スーパーゲームボーイ) is not really a game but an add on to the Super Famicom system that lets you play your Game Boy game from any region on your TV. Some games even have enhancements when played on the Super Game Boy including custom boarders, colors, better sound, etc. It really is something every Nintendo fan should have.

Morning Musume - Second Morning (セカンドモーニング)

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-04-30T17:59:00+09:00

Second Morning (セカンドモーニング) is (obviously) the 2nd Album from super idol group Morning Musume.

Vinnk's Take: I am not going to lie to you. This is not my favorite Morning Musume album. In fact I think it is the weakest of their first 5 albums. But as I love Morning Musume and have a copy in my collection, you might want to as well. The songs are for the most part fine but a lot I skip when I listen to this album. There are some standouts. "Daite HOLD ON ME!" is a Morning Musume classic (and their first #1 single). As a fan of Natsumi Abe I also really like "Furusato". Oh, and don't forget "Memory Seishun no Hikari", that is a great track. Hmm... as I write this I am starting to realize I want to listen to this album again.

Tracklist
1. Night of Tokyo City – 4:11
2. Manatsu no Kōsen (Vacation Mix) – 5:06
3. Memory Seishun no Hikari – 5:05
4. Suki de ×5 – 4:37
5. Furusato – 5:18
6. Daite HOLD ON ME! (N.Y. Mix) – 4:23
7. Papa ni Niteiru Kare – 4:42
8. Senkō Hanabi – 4:33
9. Koi no Shihatsu Ressha (Album Version) – 4:26
10. Otome no Shinrigaku – 3:34
11. Never Forget (Large Vocal Mix) – 4:32
12. Da Di Du De Do Da Di! – 5:56

BILLIONAIRE 〜BOY MEETS GIRL〜” is TRF’s 4th studio album

Tracklist:

1. BILLIONAIRE (ORIGINAL SUMMER ’94 MIX)
2. Le Bleu (GRAND BLEU DANCE)

F-Zero (エフゼロ)

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-04-30T13:22:17+09:00

F-Zero (エフゼロ) is a high speed futuristic race and was one of the showpieces for the Super Famicom's "Mode 7" features when the system was released. Looks pretty simple today but I found it pretty amazing looking back in the day and it's still a lot of fun to play. No Japanese ability needed for this one.

The game has been tested and plays great. The photo uploaded is of the actual game I am selling. I test to make sure each cartridge loads on actual Super Famicom hardware. If the game contains a battery I attempt to save and load data. I cannot guarantee that it will still function when you receive the game. Make sure that you have the necessary hardware to run Japanese Super Famicom games before buying. This cart will not run on an unmodified Super Nintendo system. You could buy a pin converter or look on the internet to see how to mod your super Nintendo for free in 5 minutes with nothing more than a pair of pliers.

Super Off Road (スーパ・オフ・ロード) is one of my favorite childhood games. My brother and I must have rented this one 20 times. It's a top-down arcade racer with tons of upgrades to add between rounds. Might look primitive today, but it is still mad fun to play. Everything is in English. No Japanese ability needed for this one.

The game has been tested and plays great. The photo uploaded is of the actual game I am selling. I test to make sure each cartridge loads on actual Super Famicom hardware.

You could buy a pin converter or look on the internet to see how to mod your super Nintendo for free in 5 minutes with nothing more than a pair of pliers.

Dragon Quest VI: Land of Illusion (ドラゴンクエストVI 幻の大地) is the final 16-bit Dragon quest and the last mainline game in a Nintendo platform until Dragon Quest IX. Great story, excellent music and art. A real classic.

Virtua Fighter CG Portrait Series Vol. 3 Akira Yuki (バーチャファイターＣＧポートレートシリーズＶｏｌ．３結城晶)

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-04-23T12:55:11+09:00

Virtua Fighter CG Portrait Series Vol. 3 Akira Yuki (バーチャファイターＣＧポートレートシリーズＶｏｌ．３結城晶) Do you like Virtua Fighter? Specifically the character Akira Yuki? Do you like slideshows? Do you want to sing along to a Karaoke song about Akira Yuki? Want to spy on him as he befriends an adorable cat? Do you find Virtua Fighter games to be TOO interactive and would prefer something not very interactive at all? If you answered "yes" then boy do I have a disc for you! No Japanese skill required.

The game has been tested and plays great. The photo uploaded is of the actual game I am selling. Make sure that you have the necessary hardware to run Japanese Sega Saturn games before buying. This game will not run on an unmodified US/PAL system. You will need an ST-Key or other import converter. These are inexpensive and plug right into the top of the system.

Saturn CDs will be wrapped in a removable plastic sleeve and then placed in a bubble wrapped mailer for shipping. Please remember, the games will ship from Japan so please allow some additional shipping time. Also during Japanese postal holidays (New Year's, Golden Week, Obon) orders will be delayed while the post office is closed.

Hitomi - HTM: Tiartrop Fles

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-04-23T12:53:51+09:00

HTM: Tiartrop Fles is a compilation album of covers, B-sides and unreleased tracks

Vinnk's Take: Yeah, I know the cover is a bit much. But man what a great album. It's not a mainline album and sadly because of that it is often overlooked in the Hitomi discography but for me it is one of my top 5 Hitomi albums. The name is "Self Portrait" backwards. Self Portrait was the best of album she released earlier, and I guess this was for the leftovers. There are new mixes of some of her best hits and just lots of good stuff. "La Plus Belle Pour Aller Danser", "Plasic Time Machine" and "Fighting Girl" are my favorites.

Track listing

1. Fighting Girl – originally a B‑side from the single INNER CHILD
2. BLADE RUNNER – from the single flow/BLADE RUNNER
3. 7 (SEVEN) – B‑side of Samurai Drive
4. 永遠というカテゴリー (Eien to iu Category)** – B‑side of MARIA
5. アイドルを探せ (La Plus Belle Pour Aller Danser)** – cover of Sylvie Vartan’s song, B‑side of LOVE 2000
6. destiny – another LOVE 2000 B‑side
7. プラスティックタイムマシーン (Plastic Time Machine, 8・2・1 Version)** – remix version of her track, tied to Bandai/Mitsubishi promotions
8. innocence (Regenerated Version) – remixed version of her single innocence
9. My Planet – one of her lesser‑known tracks included here
10. エレファントラブ (Elephant Love)** – collaboration with Atami feat. Hitomi

This CD has been tested and plays great. The photo uploaded is of the actual CD I am selling. Audio CDs from Japan have no region coding so they will play in any standard player.

CDs will be wrapped in a removable plastic sleeve and then placed in a bubble wrapped mailer for shipping. Please remember, I ship from Japan so please allow some additional shipping time.

Wave Race: Blue Storm (ウェーブレースブルーストーム)

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-04-23T12:49:44+09:00

Wave Race: Blue Storm (ウェーブレースブルーストーム) is the third and (to date) final game in the jet ski raving series Wave Race. Even though this is an early GameCube game it still looks good today especially the water effects. No Japanese needed to play.

The game has been tested on authentic GameCube or Wii hardware and plays great. The photo uploaded is of the actual game I am selling. Make sure that you have the necessary hardware to run Japanese GameCube games before buying. This game will run on a US/PAL GameCube if it is modified or if you have a boot disc (of which there are many varieties including FreeLoader). The game will run on some Japanese Wii systems as well (later revisions removed GameCube compatibility so check yours before buying).

GameCube games will be wrapped in a removable plastic sleeve and then placed in a bubble wrapped mailer for shipping. Please remember, the games will ship from Japan so please allow some additional shipping time. Also during Japanese postal holidays (New Year's, Golden Week, Obon) orders will be delayed while the post office is closed.

Do as Infinity - Need Your Love

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-04-22T13:57:51+09:00

Need Your Love is the 6th studio album from the rock band Do As Infinity.

Vinnk's Take: This album might be familiar to Western anime fans for its songs connected to Zoids and InuYasha. I personally love the track "For the Future". This album came out shortly after I moved to Japan and I felt my whole life was in front of me so this song really hit.

Tracklist:

1. For the future — 4:19
2. Blue — 3:43
3. BE FREE — 4:12
4. Rakuen (楽園 / Paradise) — 4:58
5. Ever... — 4:31
6. one flesh — 3:13
7. ROBOT — 3:28
8. Yotaka no Yume (夜鷹の夢 / Dream of the Nighthawk) — 4:49
9. Ultimate G.V — 3:17
10. Need your love — 4:48
11. Na no Hanabatake (菜ノ花畑 / Vegetable Garden) — 3:36

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-04-22T13:43:22+09:00

Thousand Arms (サウザンドアームズ) is a delightful mix of RPG and dating sim set in a humorous steampunk world. Great music (theme by Ayumi Hamasaki), awesome story and characters. Made by RED Company (Sakura Wars) and Atlus (Persona)

The game has been tested and plays great. The photo uploaded is of the actual game I am selling. Make sure that you have the necessary hardware to run Japanese Playstation games before buying.

Super Chinese 3 (スーパーチャイニーズ3)

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-04-21T13:17:12+09:00

Super Chinese 3 (スーパーチャイニーズ3) is the 3rd game in the Kung Fu Heroes/Little Ninja Brothers series. It is the only Famicom game in the series that was Japan exclusive. Like Super Chinese 2 it incorporates light RPG elements into the top down action. For the most part it's pretty easy to play even if you don't know Japanese, but using a walkthrough would not be a bad idea.

The game has been tested on an actual Famicom system and plays great. The photo uploaded is of the actual game I am selling. Check the condition before buying. Make sure that you have the necessary hardware to run Japanese Famicom games before bidding. This cart will not run on an unmodified NES system. It should run on most Famicom clones but I cannot guarantee it's compatibility.

Loose Famicom carts will be wrapped in a removable plastic sleeve and then placed in a bubble wrapped mailer for shipping. Boxed or fragile games will be cushioned with bubble wrap or newspaper and put in a larger box. Please remember, the games will ship from Japan so please allow some additional shipping time. Also during Japanese postal holidays (New Year's, Golden Week, Obon) orders will be delayed while the post office is closed.

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-04-21T13:15:35+09:00

Super Mario Bros. (スーパーマリオブラザーズ)

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-04-21T13:04:32+09:00

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-04-21T01:44:04+09:00
