Anybody here come across the Japanese translations of Fighting Fantasy? How hard are they to obtain?

龍の山の神殿 (Adventure Gamebook: Temple of the Dragon Mountain)
It's not immediately clear whether this is Fighting Fantasy, but based on the description of a blog ( here) and a YouTube video reading the book ( here) it appears to also have some of the game attributes like Stamina, Luck and Attack Strength. I suspect this might be a fan-made gamebook using an FF- or FF-derived system.
(I don't understand Japanese myself, so I used some translation services. If anyone with knowledge of Japanese can offer more insights on this book or is able to purchase and comment on this book, that'd be great)

FF were published in Japan by Shakai Shisosha, which went bust some years ago. Apparently, recently a deal was done whereby they will be republished by Group SNE, who do Sword World, and who translated D&D. I met them at FFF4, but didn't get very clear information out of them. They said they wanted to contact me, but they haven't replied to my message. Who knows, maybe something was said in the conversation they had with Ian L at FFF4?
In any case, it's all very new so that Titanica link is well out of date for it.
The old Shakai Shisosha editions were in the small tankobon size typically used for these books in Japan.

Yes, wish I had though of looking for some when I lived in Japan!
