Hello :) I am from the United States and I was wondering if anyone knows the best way to get Rolly's/Scanch's music? I gave in and bought the GOLDEN BEST ROLLY CD off of Amazon Japan. But the shipping rate is outrageous and the one CD cost me USD $45. I was willing to do it once to have something of Rolly's but I can't pay that much any more.

Is there anywhere I can download mp3s online? Or get cheaper CDs delivered to the US?

There is not much on iTunes Japan which I can't download anyway. Youtube is bad quality and I want the best quality. I've tried torrents but couldn't find any (unless there is a Japanese torrent site?) eBay has very little but I can always keep checking back I suppose.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you :)

Hi Sam,

Sorry about the late reply. I was on vacation for a while in July.

I purchased GoldenBest via CD Japan ->
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/

They seem to have OK shipping costs (compared to $45) and are pretty quick in delivery. They also have a good selection of Rolly's CDs - at least the ones still in print. (Watch carefully searching for Rolly here, a lot of these CDs he is only a guest guitarist - refer to his homepage which have the official CD listings.)

For out of print CDs or DVDs, the only place I have found them is on http://www.yahoo.co.jp/ . However, the entire site is in Japanese - you can get free translators for this online - and most sellers won't ship internationally. :(

As for downloading the music, I was only able to find Scanch Sweets on download via Limewire - 3 years ago! It's hit and miss with those. There was a Japanese torrent program once, but they really crack down on that in Japan and the program no longer works.

Other options, which are usually not feasible, are finding a source in Japan - a fan in that country who can look for CDs in used shops, or bid on Yahoo.japan.

I hope this helps!

No problem, Tamara!

Thank you for the advice! I will try CD Japan and Yahoo Japan. Luckily, I have been able to find a reasonably priced Scanch Sweets on eBay and SOS '99 on Amazon Japan. I will just have to keep looking and checking back at the websites you shared as well as Amazon and eBay. Who knows, maybe I'll find someone in Japan who can help me out. Thank you for your help! :)

ありがとう　ございました　タマラ　さん
I'll continue in englisch, my japanese is not good enough yet :-)　
That makes sence, so I suppose there won't be any opportunity to see him on stage in Europe O.k. then I have to travel to Japan to see them live! That is a good reason for travel again! I saw your video on you tube with meeting Rolly at an airport, I'm sure it was a terrific moment. By the way, do you have any idea where I could get some merchandise like T-shirt from him/them? I have many cd and dvd already, but I'm looking for a 卍 or ROLLY shirt (or something like this)。Best regards to all of you from Hamburg!

Dear bunnyborg, thanks also from me to your terrific ROLLY website!!!Also in Germany it is not easy to find Informations about ROLLY, Scanch or even the Manji. He is such a great musician, also I can't understand, why he's so unknown in Europe

You are very welcome Alice!
I think due to the language barrier, Rolly/Scanch and The Manji are not widely known outside Japan. In addition, Rolly doesn't promote himself outside of Japan - he has a very good following in that country, which seems OK to him.

Thank you for visiting! I am hoping to improve the site over the next few months.

I didn't know of this until recently, that Rolly is related to music legend in the Japanese music scene! He's a cousin of Makihara Noriyuki, in which Makihara-san has confirmed this in interviews.

Hai! Yes, I did know this. However, I have not had access to any of his music.

Hi bunnyborg, congratulations for the great site. There are some links that aren't working in the rock fujiyama videos, when click it, the page goes to "godaddy.com", and have some othe links in rolly videos that too not working. If you can replace them i thank you so much, i'm a big fan of Rolly and Marty Friedman. Again, congratulations for the site.

Hey there bunny, cool site! I've always loved Megadeth, and I think that Hebimetasan (Marty Friedman) is the best guitar player Megadeth has had. I love Cacophony and Jason Becker also.

A couple of questions, from the videos of Hebimetasan, who is the guy from episode 18, and will you ever upload episode 17??

Thanks a lot for the contribution, I'm actually downloading several episodes of ROCK FUJIYAMA, I think they're awesome, although, I can't stand shit in japanese... Haha

Bye, come back soon...

Hi bunnyborg!
Thank you for a valuable page of the metal.
However, the page of "Hebimetasan" cannot be downloaded.
Though it was possible to do in old times ･･･

Moreover, it comes to Japan to play.

thank you for this information. the links should now work.

Rollyworld even looks great on the Nintendo® Wii™ System thanks to the Opera browser, and some great designing.
