  I'm sharing my favorite Japanese products here.

1. Artwork and Aesthetics:

Japanese MTG cards often feature unique and alternative artwork that can be visually stunning. Some players and collectors appreciate the distinct style and presentation of Japanese cards.

2. Exclusivity: Certain MTG cards are released exclusively in Japanese-language sets or have different promotional versions. Collectors may seek out these cards for their rarity and uniqueness.

3. Cultural Appeal: For fans of Japanese culture, owning Japanese MTG cards can add a cultural aspect to their collection. The Japanese versions may also have different flavor text and card names.

4. Language Learning: Some players enjoy collecting cards in different languages as a way to learn or practice a new language, and Japanese MTG cards can be an interesting choice for those studying the Japanese language.

As for alternatives or similar items to buy, you might consider:

1. Foreign-Language MTG Cards: Explore cards in other languages for a diverse collection. Different language versions can have unique artwork and add an extra layer of interest to your collection.

2. Promotional and Foil Cards: Collecting promotional cards or foil versions of your favorite cards can be an alternative way to enhance your MTG collection with unique and valuable items.

3. Custom Tokens and Accessories: Purchase or create custom tokens, playmats, or accessories with Japanese-themed artwork to complement your collection and gaming experience.

If you have a local friend in Japan, obtaining Japanese MTG cards can become easier:

1. Local Market Access: Your friend can guide you to local game stores, events, or online marketplaces where Japanese MTG cards are sold. They might have insights into the best places to find specific cards or editions.

2. Translation Assistance: If you're not fluent in Japanese, your friend can help with translations and ensure that you're aware of the details of each card you're purchasing.

3. Shipping Assistance: Having a local friend can simplify the shipping process, making it more cost-effective and reducing the risk of any potential issues during international shipping.

Keep in mind that international purchases, even with the help of a local friend, should be done cautiously. Ensure that you're dealing with reputable sellers and use secure payment methods to avoid any potential scams or complications.
