  I'm sharing my favorite Japanese products here.

1. Artwork and Aesthetics:

Japanese MTG cards often feature unique and alternative artwork, making them attractive to collectors and players who appreciate the aesthetic differences. Some players prefer the Japanese versions for the visual appeal of the artwork.

2. Exclusivity and Rarity: Certain cards are released exclusively in Japanese sets or have special alternate versions in Japanese printings. Collectors may seek these cards for their rarity and exclusivity, adding value to their collections.

3. Limited Edition Sets: Japan occasionally releases limited edition sets or promotional items that may not be available in other regions. These can include unique cards or special editions that are highly sought after by collectors.

4. Cultural Appeal: For fans of Japanese culture or those who enjoy the global diversity of the Magic: The Gathering community, owning Japanese cards can be a way to connect with different aspects of the game's cultural influences.

Similar or alternative items to buy include:

1. Foreign Language Cards: If Japanese cards are challenging to find or too expensive, you might explore cards in other languages. Some players enjoy collecting cards in languages they find visually appealing or personally interesting.

2. Promotional Items: Look for promotional items or special editions related to MTG that are available in various regions. These might include unique playmats, sleeves, or other accessories.

3. MTG Art Prints: Consider purchasing art prints of your favorite MTG cards. Wizards of the Coast occasionally releases official art prints that allow you to enjoy the beautiful card artwork without necessarily owning the physical card.

If you have a local friend in Japan or another region where these items are more prevalent, obtaining them can be easier:

1. Local Marketplace Access: Your friend can help you navigate local marketplaces, game stores, or online platforms that cater to the Japanese MTG community. This can provide you with better access to a wider selection of cards and merchandise.

2. Language Assistance: Dealing with foreign marketplaces may involve language barriers. Having a local friend who is fluent in the language can be invaluable for effective communication with sellers.

3. Shipping Assistance: Your friend can assist with shipping logistics, ensuring that the items are properly packaged and sent to your location without any complications.

Always be cautious when making online purchases, even with the help of a local friend. Make sure to deal with reputable sellers to avoid potential scams or issues.
