Pocky? I'm assuming you go to UIUC to find this forum, right? Anyway, you don't have to go all the way to Japan to get Pocky, and it doesn't survive luggage travel too well (eminently meltable, freezable, and crushable).

Plus Am-ko on the corner of First and Springfield has always got Pocky...

My advice is to save your luggage space for things like anime soundtracks, which REALLY don't come over (I think Right Stuff has released about 10, of which about 8 are Megumi Hayashibara... as opposed to several thousand CDs available over here at the moment). And there are a LOT of used CD stores, particularly around Den Den Town in Osaka...

I've gotten about 12 CDs for a grand total of about $50 so far, and normally one Japanese CD is about $25 if you get it directly in Chicago or about $40 with shipping... and I found something that's been out of print for over a decade now! Happy happy...
