Popular Japanese Movie Chirashi
Chirashi for Japanese movies are becoming increasingly popular with our eBay Buyers.
Does this have anything to do with them getting better exposure overseas?
We’d be very interested to hear what Japanese movies have been hits in the US and Europe in recent months.

Lights Out!
You may or may not have heard about the huge power cut in Tokyo this morning, which affected around 800,000 households and caused huge disruption to businesses and the transport system.
The power cut was caused by a crane being transported up the old Edo river on a barge that hit some electrical cables running over the water.
Seems like the operator made a gross misjudgment about how much space he had to play with! Who would have thought that this could cause such a catastrophe?!
We too lost power for about an hour but no damage was done.
Luckily most people are on their summer holiday this week, due it being the festival of O-Bon. The outcome could have been a lot worse if it was a regular workday.
$9 Chirashi
A recent addition, the $9 category is where you’ll find our rarest and most collectable Chirashi, the bulk of which date from the 1970s.
We’ve recently managed to get our hands on a whole load of 70s and early 80s chirashi, so be sure to keep an eye out for updates to this category!
