For me, I mainly use Bandcamp, 7digital & Qobuz for Western music. Sometimes the artists sell directly from their own sites though; for e.g. I bought Willow’s empathogen album directly from her website.
For Japanese music, I use Ototoy. They accept foreign cards, but for some releases they won’t let you add it to the cart unless you use a VPN set to Japan.
For less available stuff, I sometimes buy second hand CDs from Discogs / eBay / Music Magpie / similar sites, rip and then resell the CD if I don’t wish to keep it.
For new CDs that I do want to keep, I buy from wherever the artist is selling. CDJapan for Japanese stuff.
