Japan "low end" box

Anyone aware of any good VPS hosts in Japan offering low end services? I realize "low end" is going to be relative here.
Looking for a 128MB or 256MB OVZ container, very little bandwidth needed -- that's not a concern.

I think there was a recent topic post about this.
This is the one I was thinking of

Durp, yeah found it -- thanks!
No problem. I'm also looking for a host in Japan, but not sure yet which I will go with. Let me know your experience if you end up finding one.
sakuravps is good. 1G/100G for 980JPY.

I ended up going with an AWS micro-instance, free is good. I'll let you know how it goes.
If you've used the free year on AWS you can also try using a spot instance. Current pricing is $0.007/hr which works out to about 5 bucks a month not including bandwidth/storage.

Never thought of that... free isn't bad if it works.
Thanks for the pointer. I can navigate with Google Translate, but don't they require you to live in Japan?
Sakura.ad.jp needs you to be a Japanese resident, correct.
This doesn't mean you can't use someone as a proxy, but directly, it won't work.
Oh this sounds like the f***ing easiest thing in the world to do, right? Because obviously everyone has at least a dozen acquitances in Japan, each of them eagerly waiting to help you with buying a VPS.

Go back, and re-read that sentence. I don't care for your worthless sarcasm, neither was I suggesting it was the 'easiest thing in the world.'
