Substack: Quick Updates from Japan

Hello everyone,

and thank you as always for reading my blog.

Today, I have an announcement.

I’ve started using Substack.

For a long time, I’ve been looking for a way to share the latest information as quickly as possible.

WhatsApp is already available for direct communication,
but I was also searching for a service that works like a mailing list,
allowing me to notify many people at once.

I considered X (Twitter), but posts are not visible to users who are not registered.
Facebook was also ruled out due to privacy concerns.

That’s when I found Substack.

Why Substack?

Functionally, it’s similar to X (Twitter),
but the key difference is that once you register your email, you receive notifications immediately when something is posted.

My main focus is speed getting information to you as soon as possible.

Why speed matters

Occasionally, rare One Piece or Pokémon boxes and cards become available without warning.

For example:

  • The One Piece
    “MONSTERS: Ippyakusanjo Hiryū Jigoku” official guidebook DVD box
  • Pokémon cards that I’m able to source at a good price, sometimes limited to just one copy

These items are searched for worldwide,
and in many cases, only those who receive the information first can get them.

That’s why I chose Substack to share these updates faster than through my blog or Instagram.

How to subscribe (very easy)

  1. Visit the link below
    https://substack.com/@pokeshopjp
  2. Click Subscribe
  3. Enter your email address on
    pokeshopjp’s Substack

That’s it.

You’ll receive:

  • The latest updates from Japan
  • New arrivals
  • Sudden, limited-quantity announcements

If you accidentally register the wrong email address,
please register again with the correct one and let me know — I’ll remove the incorrect entry.
If you don’t receive emails, please check your spam folder as well.


Final note

With the recent surge in One Piece popularity and upcoming Pokémon anniversary events,
there is simply too much information even for people living in Japan.

My goal is to share real, on-the-ground information
about cards and boxes I actually have access to here in Japan,
especially with collectors overseas.

For limited items where speed matters, Substack is the best option.

I hope you’ll subscribe.
