Yay, I was mentioned!
29980 is the price before tax, as was pointed out already. 8% consumption tax comes on top of it.
After the tax hike many stores started to show their prices without tax, especially since there's a second hike planned and this way they can save on price labels? I don't really know. But without tax, prices just look cheaper, and I think that's what they're going for.

Why would I not mention you from another thread, if the topic in question is related? 
8% is not that much, we pay around 20% in Europe ^^

Yay as in happy. Not complaining. :)
Compared to Europe, sales tax is indeed low in Japan.
