Japan Music Revolution

The official site had a change in admin and has been moved to: https://www.dimlim.net Hopefully you can access it, it should be working. As for corporate contracts with DHL etc, unfortunately as a small start up company we can't really think about that yet. We're hoping to expand our roster of bands with time and if the demand is there we would love to be able to open up those shipping options at affordable rates. A lot is going to depend on how the response is for the Dimlim merch overseas as bands (or rather, labels) here are very resistant to thinking there is enough demand to warrant opening up overseas sales. We want to prove them wrong. As for the time frame, this is not only up to us but also up to the band so we can't make promises yet. We personally are hoping for an early July time frame. Hoping is the key word but we are doing our best, 2020 hasn't really been the year most of us were hoping for.

It's not that we don't have access to it, it's that it's very expensive and they'll 100% charge custom fees on arrival whereas other options like SAL and even Airmail usually end up going by without custom fees (in many countries) and even EMS is cheaper so these private carriers are just not something we had been considering. We'd rather open it up when all forms of shipping are available for people to choose from (especially as some items released will have very limited quantities) and deliveries are reliable again rather than gouge people on shipping; the only reason we announced the overseas shipping early is because we didn't want fans to worry they wouldn't be able to get stuff and spend large amounts of needless money on forwarding services. We have always been shooting for a summer start. If the situation doesn't normalize in the coming weeks we have planned to revisit the situation and private carriers could be an option. Shipping a 1 kilogram package (1 hoodie and 1 shirt for example) through FedEx is approx. $150 which we just don't feel right making people pay especially since by the looks of it countries are slowly picking back up and it shouldn't be all that much longer before normal shipping resumes. Not to mention many countries are currently not being serviced by FedEx or DHL as per CDJapan's page here: https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/feature/fedex_dhl_expansion2004 Just bear with us a little longer, I promise we have the best interest of everyone in mind.

Hey guys. I feel bad and don't want to get your hopes up, this announcement is not about shipping just yet. Japan Post is completely shut down for overseas shipping at the moment. DHL is in my experience pretty unreliable and costly for the customer; we really want to offer you the best shipping options and so many packages from other carriers such as CD Japan are being returned due to the virus. I ran some quotes through DHL and the shipping of say a couple of hoodies wanted to charge $300 for shipping. As soon as we can ship safely we will do so, but this announcement is something to pass the time until then. Hope you will still enjoy it, it'll be posted on Dimlim as well as our Twitter at 20:00 JST. We're working with them on connecting with overseas fans in different ways and there are a few more ideas bouncing around as the guys really want to stay connected during this time. On the plus side, they've just announced a 2-days live in Tokyo on January 9th and 10th of 2021. Thanks for the support.

We will have physical albums available, not sure which yet but we'll try to get as many as we can. I can tell you that we will be carrying a CD nobody is expecting us (or anybody) to carry. Will be announcing that in the coming weeks both on our Twitter @jpmusicrev as well as make a post here. Thank you guys!

It's going to be an entire webstore identical (with some exclusive overseas only items) to the webstore that just opened tonight: https://www.dimer-tokyo.com so it will not be a proxy/third party site but rather you will be buying directly from the guys. My company will be handling the order processing, shipping, promotion and advising on what items to sell. Right now shipping is blocked from Japan to most countries so we're awaiting for that to lift and we will open a dedicated webstore, in English.

Hello! First post here. I run a company in Tokyo named Japan Music Revolution and we've just teamed up with DIMLIM to make their CDs and goods available overseas. Because of COVID-19 we are unfortunately going to be delayed in opening the webstore as we can't ship from Japan right now, however I've have taken this time to look over this thread and take into consideration fans' feelings and wishes. We have some exciting surprises to announce in the near future about what's going to be up for sale and we hope you'll like the easier, cheaper (no tenso fees!) access to the merch vs auction sites and so forth. We're planning on implementing Paypal, offer several shipping methods and overall making things as smooth and easy as possible. I'm available on Twitter and through email at [email protected] to listen to any requests; the guys are very open to suggestions on what kinds of things you'd like to be able to get your hands on. I'll post any official information as it becomes available. In the meantime, feel free to read the full announcement here and spread the news if you can: https://twitter.com/jpmusicrev/status/1256177104997081088 Thank you guys in advance for the support.
