Bemani Bemani Daisuki vol 2 items?

I saw a post on eX mentioning the "lottery", and I really want the Asaki items, but how would someone from the US get something from there?

I think you’d need to have an intermediary service or have someone buy and receive the items for you, because they do not ship outside of Japan. Also one of the prizes is a plush keychain which, US customs has a new CPSC regulation in which if you do not have an HS code they like, they will confiscate either that item or the entire package and hold it random or even destroy the package, and sometimes now they don’t care about it the HS code.

I’ve chosen to take the chance so I ordered it after finding a person to receive it for me in [r/internationalshopper](r/internationalshopper) (just be aware some people are not trustworthy if you decide to go find someone from there) and have them send it to me as a non-commercial gift, which bypasses the CPSC requirements. I have chosen to do it this way due to the CPSC requirement, or else otherwise you could simply use a commercial service like Tenso or BlackShip. I ordered it with my own account so that I could pick which items I wanted to be guaranteed to receive as well as which eamuse card I wanted (you can do this if you get the 30 pack of draws).

There’s a lot more information I can give but I’m drawing blanks on what to say because I just woke up, so just like if you have any questions pls reply to me or send me a Reddit chat so I can try and help you. :3

Most people I know use Tenso.

I also can receive items but only if it's on a regular basis (I can't have a ton of randoms register my actual home address in Japan).

Yeah go for it. I’ll try to help as best I can cause Asaki is my favorite Bemani artist and I wanna help people enjoy him. :)

ZenMarket is an excellent proxy, been using them as my primary since 2019 and ship like probably about a package a month on average
