How to get in touch with Japanese friends?

[irata]

I'm looking for people in Japan or other Asian countries to trade popular culture stuff... Like skateboarding/lifestyle/tech/porn/graffiti/subculture mags, DVDs, music etc. etc.

Does anybody know of a good place to get in touch with possible friends?

try japan-guide I think they have a pen pal part. Also mixi.com is the place to be if you can speak japanese. Also sexi.com if you are nasty. But the last two are invite only. If you want me to I'll invite you on mixi (warning all japanese site, most people will not speak any english and even less speak good english). If your dying to get on sexi I can try my best to get on then invite you.

I'd like an invite to mixi!
I have some friends here in Japan who said that I should go to mixi, but they don't have accounts themselves and therefore couldn't give me one.

Asoboo.com isn't bad...

Thanks guys for the replies! Unfortunately I don't speak Japanese (yet...) so I'd have to go for the English speaking places. Thanks for the offer anyway, jigenbakuda, that's really appreciated!

That asoboo.com site looks really cool by the way, thanks handyman!

Heh, forgot you had to have a keetai for mixi...
Never got around to buy one. I used the money on psp and wii instead ^^
