				| I'm in touch with a guy serving a long stretch in prison here in Japan, and he has a request that I'm struggling to fulfil. Here's what he asked for in his letter: 
 
 
 
	  | Quote: |  
	  | What publisher imports, if they do, these magazines in Japan: Vibe, XXL, Hip-Hop Soul, Hip-Hop Weekly. Japanese publishers like DIP or DIA PRESS, or SAN-EI SHOBO or anything like that. Or, if you can't find those magazines, maybe any other magazines, in english, regarding hip-hop, r&b, jazz, reggae and house music. Thank you. Just write me the names of the magazines and the prices, publishers which imports and distributes them, and I'll buy them from here. |  
 So far, my results are:
 
 Vibe: No idea where to start with these guys. The only contact details they give are press contacts.
 
 XXL: They have a Customer Service phone number. I'll call next week.
 
 Hip-Hop Soul: Doesn't seem to exist any more.
 
 Hip-Hop Weekly: I've e-mailed their customer service. Waiting for an answer.
 
 Other magazines: No idea. I don't know the first thing about music magazines.
 
 Can anyone help me improve on this?
