Nice-No Mori-The First Contact: aka Funky Forrest

Hey guys! Anyone know where one could get a "more discounted" version of "NICE NO MORI-THE FIRST CONTACT than Yesasia offers? Don't get me wrong, I order lots from this reptuable company but the Hong Kong stuff seemed always overpriced. (Not their fault, I know). Any other Korean/Japan distributors on-line that might be helpful. So far only CDJapan.com offers this but at the same exhorbitant prices! This title has yet to show its face on Ebay...any suggestions?
Here's Yesasia's summary of Ishii Katusuhito's "funky" film:


Nice no Mori - The First Contact may well be the strangest, most memorable film you'll ever see. Based on a popular series of canned coffee TV ads, the geniusly nonsensical Nice no Mori stretches the cinematic boundaries with an open narrative, outlandish characters, unpredictable stories, and a massive dose of surreal wackiness that defies all conventions. Combining the directorial talents of Ishii Katsuhito (Taste of Tea and Shark Skin Man and Peach Hip Girl), Ishimine Hajime (Custom Made 10:30), and Miki Shinichiro, the man behind the Smap Short Films, this colorful, creative omnibus film needs to be seen to be believed.
Asano Tadanobu and Terajima Susumu reprise their coffee ad roles as the Guitar Brothers, two geeky brothers trying to find girlfriends. Instead, they encounter an endless line-up of peculiar characters and off-the-wall situations. Their experiences are divided into a series of short stories and skits with just about everything you can think of thrown in - stand-up comedy, animation, music and dance sequences, commercials, an intermission, and, of course, some little aliens. Director Ishii himself described it as gags connected with more gags. Anything goes in this hyperactive, delightfully bizarre comedy, and the end result is sure to leave a goofy smile on your face.

You might want to try Amazon.jp as sometimes they do have better prices. I personally haven't checked it though but admittedly, I do order most of my Japanese R2 dvds & Korean R3 dvds fm YesAsia due to their exceptional customer service.

And yes, I have ordered the super-duper expensive edition of Nice No Mori fm YesAsia.

The prices are those you can see in Japan net of the 5% tax,because this is an import from Japan not some HK stuff. The only way to find a better price
is to wait for a korean or a HK editor to release it, but sometime it never happens.

You're lucky, this title is not expensive compared to others, I was looking for "Kamome Shokudo ",the best price I found was 40$.
The prices for japanese editions are usually between 36 and 60$, my last order for two japanese DVDs was 92$.
