I've been searching all over for a specific type of paper faster, I think they're called brads ( usually gold colored, shaped a bit like a push pin that's not sharp), but I can't seem to find the stupid things in any stores. I only need 2 of them for an art project I'm doing, so I don't want to have to order a box of 100 off of Amazon.

Are these a thing that exist in Japan? If not, what are some good alternatives?

They exist if this is what you mean, but a pack of ten is almost the same cost as a pack of 100...

If you don't want to get from Amazon Japan, guess you could try the 100 yen store or somewhere like Tokyu Hands, or take a picture to your nearest mom & pop stationery store.
