So far, the "Out of Stock" items have usually become available in a reasonable time, but now it is taking much more times than anticipated.   We are therefore unable to take orders for the "Out of Stock" items, unless you can patiently wait for a long time. It is also difficult in this condition to tell exactly when it will become available next, but we will notify you by email of any "Out of Stock" items ready to deliver in future. For those who want to get this email service, please register your name and email address to koki@kencrest.us. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.     Koki Iwahara
