...The title pretty much says it all. I just need someplace I can buy/download Japanese music legally, and I can't find any on itunes.

It's not really anyone specifically, I want some of the Hana Kimi, Hana Yori Dango and some other soundtracks. I just really don't want to get them illegally.
I read somewhere that you can buy an itunes giftcard (a Japanese one) and go through the itunes store from there, but I was just wondering if there was an easier way to get it.

In my opinion, if you are going to go through all the trouble of buying it, you might as well buy the CD.

Perhaps the most complete source of Japanese music....
http://z15.invisionfree.com/JAPANESE_MU ... wtopic=218
However, I am not sure if one would consider it illegal.
When they moved to that site, I noticed some of their artists disappeared.

From what I hear, beemp3 is
not legal. One place that I do know that provides legal Japanese music is
http://www.hearjapan.com/. They don't seem to have the mainstream artists though, and the anime music in it are re-recorded by independent artists. Still, it may be worth a shot.

I'd agree with amazon.co.jp...
Amazon has MP3 downloading capabilities... amazon japan obviously has japanese music...

Why are people so concerned about legality?

I put a torrent I made there.... but it got removed within a day, maybe because it contained the
ENTIRE discography of ZARD.... I love bragging about my compilation of that... hehehe

TPB is brimming with hundreds of discographies, and no torrent is supposed to be removed, unless it's abusive (child pornography, murder scenes, etc...)
I don't see why it was removed, unless some jerk reported it as a scam.
Anyways, if you read the
Legal Threats and the responds TPB sends back, you'll grasp how jokingly TPB handles copyright laws.
