Man, if that comes up again, I should have you look for some CDs for me. For a fee, of course.
I’d be happy to try to get you something if I can swing a trip to Okinawa or Japan again. No fee required. But be aware CDs are very expensive there, the cheapest I got were around 2,400 Yen or about 30 USD and ended up paying an average of 35 USD for 9 of them.
I was worried about the language barrier but it proved to be no problem at all. My Strategy to overcome it was to upload videos of the groups I was looking for to my phone and I just played them for the clerk. Some she recognized some right away and others she looked up on the computer but by having the vids with the band’s name on them she had no problem helping me.
