There likely is, although I can't think of any way to do it at the moment. I am very hesitant to ever suggest anyone buy a CD from the resellers, as most of these are burnt at high speed and may give problems on some drives, but without the ability to make a bootable device it is going to be a little tricky for you. You should be able to by a burnt Debian CD quite inexpensively. Better yet, if you have any friends with burners they could make you one, might even appreciate your introducing them to Linux and making one for them at the same time. And a final thought is why not get a CD burner. These things are dirt cheap (even DVD/CD burners are going at near give away prices) and should be next to free in Japan. Likely will not cost much more than buying a ready made CD, and then you'll know the CD that you made was burnt properly.
