Hopefully the few hoops that I have taped up are now in use by kids who are not too fussy on the spacing of the colours!! My taping skills leave much to be desired.

Great info, thanks! The Joyful Honda I visited in Utsunomiya only had double-wall poly. We tried it and it was heavy and a little bit too soft for my taste. It worked, though I wouldn’t recommend it. I’ll search out the takenoko connectors online and add them and the hint about JH to the list. Thanks again!

(Figured I’d go ahead and post this here, too.)
I got 水道用ポリエチレン管１３ｍｍｘ３０ｍ at a place called Joyful Honda in Ota, Gunma. (They have other locations: http://www.joyfulhonda.com/english/index.htm) (内径１３㎜　外径２１．５㎜）It was fairly cheap and you can buy less if you want. They’ll cut it. They also have the plastic insert connectors (though they’re technically meant for other tubing and the salespeople will look at you like you don’t know what you’re talking about). The guy there referred to them as takenoko since they look like takenoko. The center bit is quite wide, so I’ve been cutting it off. My local Sekichu (hardware store type place) also has the takenoko connectors, but no pipe.

If not that exact White Maru Pipe, there will be something similar at any DIY place. I sometimes order them in bulk online but the shipping isn’t very reasonable. 　http://www.h-mol.co.jp/

Super helpful post, Tink! Thanks for sharing all your research! BTW, can you just get the ホワイト丸パイプ at any hardware type store, do you reckon?
