If you define Magic, as RPG, then yes, it does seem to be everywhere,
but the Dice aren't. A local toy store ( with a huge CCG display) has
a few. a plain one is like 180yen, the metal flake is like 220yen
each. I visited Yellow Submarine in Shinjuku Tokyo a few weeks ago
and there they had some dice. Also a few tubes of MEGADICE from the
Armory. They also had CHELSEA (?) dice with d4 to d20 in speckled
finish in little clear cases for only 1,100 each(!).
