The Kenwood DMC-J3 J.A.M. was a lucky draw prize. It was commissioned by AXIA (makers of MiniDiscs) in Japan, and is a design inspired by Judy And Mary (J.A.M.). Since it was never sold at retail it has no price. It was a special prize raffle with 500 given out in October 1998, and 500 given out December 1998 for a total of 1000. On the back Judy and Marie proclaims their support of "your pop life".
