Japanese Fundamental/ism - how to get?

Hello all,
can anyone advise on where (on-line) is it best (not too expensive [incl. postage to continental Europe], but reliable and fast delivery) to order Japanese CD editions of PSB albums, namely Fundamental/ism?
There are some on-line shops in my country that may offer it, but I'm a bit sceptical about their guarantees regarding delivery times ("USUALLY in three weeks" etc.)
I know it's offered on hmv.co.jp, but my konwledge of Japanese is equal to zero... Is Amazon.co.uk a good choice?
Or, of course if there's any fan from Japan who would be willing to buy and send (Paypal payment), I'd be happy for that.
Thanks for any hints.
Tom

I've used HMV Japan and found them to be reliable and you can view their website in English.

I'm flying to Japan in June, if everything will go according to plan.

OK thanks for that - until now, all the links I saw here lead to JP version, so I didn't know.
How long did it approx. took to deliver?
By the way, now I see there's only 9 tracks listed on Fundamentalism on hmv.co.jp
http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail.asp?sku=1372987 - do they have old data?

Unfortunately, I can't remember. The last time I used them was for the Miracles Japanese single. I think they were quite quick though - it was sent via an international courier.

Anybody know any shops for the UK?
If it's about the same price as the "standard" SE then I might get it...

From UK shops it'll be £30ish. I paid just over £20 for the special edition from HMV Japan. I've ordered from CD Japan in the past.

I did a currency coverter and found that it cost about £15. Don't know about shipping tho...I'll stick with the UK special edition.

Can anyone confirm whether the Japanese special edition actually includes I'm with Stupid (PSB maxi mix) and The Ressurectionist (Goetz B extended mix)?
