If you play your cards right regarding the exchange rate, you can
probably
get this level of membership for about $350-$400, as the Japanese yen
varies
widely in strength against the dollar.  Is it possible to pay for
several
years of membership at once?  Next time the ex. rate is Y140-$1, I might
buy
a few years of membership.

Is this a direct translation? ;)  If so, what is the Japanese equivalent
of
"full blast balls to the wall"? ;)

Nothing like asageiko at the Hirazuka Wakamatsu Beya Love Club.
