Sold out in 6 hours? I had actually forgot to order it after seeing it appear on YesAsia, and I pre-ordered it a week after it was put on the site and I still easily got a CD+DVD version. If you wait 3-4 weeks then it does get tricky to get.
I've been listening to japanese music for 5 years now and although I did learn some japanese in the meantime, I still don't understand most what they are singing about and it doesn't bother me at all. It means that artists like Ayumi Hamasaki can get a message across through their singing and the music even though you don't understand the words. That's what makes music good, when language is not an obstacle. Many people have problems with that though.
I have also ordered from CDJapan, but combined with their shipping costs, they tend to be a bit more expensive than YesAsia. CDJapan sometimes has free special items with first press edition though (like posters), which YesAsia doesn't have or charge extra shipping for the poster. And CDJapan usually ships faster than YesAsia. So it's a little bit of finding the middle between them.

Well, SOME of their music is easy to get but Triangle CD+ DVD sold out in 6hours online, worldwide, & the Limited edition was the only CD + DVD album version available. Even the sources mentioned like cd asia had nothing & were sold out by 12:00 noon my time on July 8 when truiangle was released, when they say limited edition, they seem to mean it & ONLY the limited editions bring the music videos which are CRITICAL for non Japaneese speakers like me I was kicking myself for a couple of weeks as I ended up having to wait till an ebayer had one I was able to buy 2 weeks later, & its still in the mail from Tokyo, but thats fine. Mihimarus Hero Video was INCREDIBLE in that not only was it VERY creative with great music but just like the in the Perfume Disco Disco video, non Japaneese speakers could relate to the song & its story line without speaking a word of Japaneese, making the song format moe like Opera, with Aida, Die Fledermaus & Das Rheingold, the visuals allow a wider audience to grasp the story, and are even portable with the Ipod Touch & car DVD players, as long as I do not try to watch videos, when I am driving. Thats why its CD + DVD for me and not DVD only as keeping my eyes on the road is still a VERY good use for the cd version & why I always buy both when its a Perfume or Mihimaru album :^)..........
Triangle though did finally get me to discover cd Asia and the source mentioned & I now go there first, & they seem to be a good place to get the albums that are still in print & new stuff, but ive learned my lesson, next time perfume releases an album, order the limited edition online, at 2am , on the day they release it...........
Hopefully they will start having regular edition cd+dvd issues that dont have limits on how many they will sell...

It's easy to get Perfume's CDs from CD Japan (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/).

@John Steed: you can still easily buy music and dvds from both artists on YesAsia, CDJapan or PlayAsia. They all ship to the US.

I find their music to be both FANTASTIC & VERY hard to obtain, Ive had to get record store guys to put CD's & dvd's in the mail from Hokkaido & wait weeks for delivery but its worth it, Perfume & Mihimaru GT are my 2 favourite groups right now, which amazes me quite a bit, as I live in the US,speak no Japanese & have never been to Japan. I stumbled across their music on Youtube & have been going WAY out of my way to buy it from Internet & Ebay vendors as there is nothing of theirs available locally, I really think Perfume & Mihimaru GT could be as big in the US now, as Falco & Nena were back in the 1980's when the music is this good, the language it is in does not matter ....

Perfume is probably the best techno group there is. I pre-ordered it, and I just can't wait for it to come out!

And don't talk about other music groups like Hello! Project(ew) in a blog dedicated to Perfume.

I'm so glad Perfume has come this far
