What to expect in terms of pricing for the next years

Since this blog is more about the economics of lolita, some of you readers may be interested in the following article by Wall Street Journal: Japan Parliament Passes Sales-Tax Increase "Japan's parliament passed a landmark tax bill Friday, finalizing the legal framework to double the nation's sales tax by 2015 as a step toward fiscal reconstruction." The current rate is at 5%, and it will go up to 10% by 2015. As far as I know, only Metamorphose English that does not carry over the sales tax from Japan. But as a shopper, you probably will see an increase in the retail price if you import/purchase directly from the brands.
