OBI Index

This is a section for collectors of Japanese CDs. We've all been there - spotted that nice Japanese CD on ebay or elsewhere online and then seen the dreaded words next to it - "OBI not included". Well fear no more - if you have a Japanese CD which is missing its genuine OBI strip - we are here to help with the next best thing - high resolution scans for you to download and print. If you have no idea what an OBI strip is, then have a look at this wikipedia entry or, for an excellent more detailed guide, look here. If you are lucky enough to have any of the Japanese CDs listed and we don't have the OBI strip, then perhaps you'd be kind enough to upload a high resolution image to share with your fellow collectors. You can do this by following the links below to the appropriate artist and clicking on the appropriate upload link next to the item.

Please select an artist from the links below to view their Japanese OBI Scans (CDs only).

Additions

Whilst there are many OBI scans on the site, there are many that are still needed. If you have any of the CDs with an OBI strip and have access to a scanner, please feel free to upload a copy to me. Links to send images can be found by looking at the artist pages above.

If you have a relevant OBI scan for an unlisted item, please try this link or use the contact page.
