Looking for a good source for very small artists (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

From time to time I stumble upon a tiny (usually Japanese) indie artist whose music I like but can't for the life of me find a place to either purchase or pirate their music.

One example is "凸凹凸凹 (ルリロリ)". I've had them wishlisted on Soulseek for the better part of a year and have scrounged different websites with no luck. Amazon Japan has their discography but only in .mp3, and finding physical media isn't really possible as I am a European resident.

Does someone know of a source they could point me to? It's driving me nuts :D

Thank you!

There are private music torrent trackers where you can request album rips against a reward (paid in a block of uploaded mb in ratio to those who might fulfill your request). I'm not personally a member of any private music trackers and it seems quite a pain to gain membership. You might look into it if you are super dedicated.

Alternatively, you could write the artist (if possible) and ask them for a lossless download with direct payment. Surely some artists would be delighted by that.
