I lived in Tokyo until Oct 1995 and I remember buying books from Amazon at that time because English language books were exorbitant in Japan. But you may be right, it could have been that last year. Just had a feeling it was before that, remember getting a plastic coffee mug as thanks for being a repeat customer and writing back to them saying that I'd preferred that they deduct shipping costs equivalent to what it must have cost them to ship that mug to Japan.
