I announced Candy Japan here, and have made a modest living off of it for the past ~7 years.

I loved your service! I'd still be subscribed if I hadn't gotten diabetes and had to cut all candy out of my life.

Boy, there's a ringing endorsement! :-)

Ahahaha, I didn't realize it would come out that way. Rest assured the diabetes is genetic, and not from the consumption of delicious Japanese candy.
Been following you since day 1!
...that was 7 years ago? Time flies. Congrats!
Was there another online service that inspired you to create Candy Japan, or was it filling a need that you yourself had?
I think I saw BirchBox and thought that sending surprises in the mail was an idea that might work for other things besides beauty products as well.
