Warning: If you're overseas right now (at the time of writing, April 2022) and don't have residency in Japan, there's some chance you won't be able to get into Japan. Though Japan's coronavirus situation may be stabilizing, there is no concrete information about when they may open up to tourists.

CDJapan ships overseas, and from personal experience (shipping to the US), items come fairly quickly if you order ahead and choose DHL/FedEx. Links to buy from CDJapan:
