South Korea
You can go to the chain book store "Kyobo", in the foreign section, they have tons of Japanese magazines and some photobooks if you look carefully. I also got my Arashi calendar there, and they have these little cartoon mangas of Arashi, I was tempted to buy them but I didn't have enough money while buying 20 other magazines blush

If you go to the Coex Mall in Seoul, they have this one huge CD store, which I've forgotten what its called, but I got all my Arashi CDs and my Gackt CDs from there, they have the newest stuff like Love so Sweet Single, Time CD, Aozora Pedaru Single CD, even the Singles Collections.

Now, I'm hoping and wishing and praying someone will find a store in Maryland or even Virgina, onegaishimasu~

They sell all sorts of asian entertainment stuff.. I've seen JE cds (albums and singles) and concert dvds too.. And they also sell drama box sets!!

Hope this is helpful smile

here in Italy there are a couple of shops but they are virtual shops selling material on the web and also at comics conventions.
Are they allowed to be listed?

Hi there, great list~ I'm from Malaysia and I found Arashi's first album in a store called Fantasy in Sunway Pyramid, but I'm guessing they only brought it in because that was when they were still under the Pony Canyon label and before the move to J-storm...

Anyway, Popular bookstores here carry the latest doramas like Yamada Tarou and Bambino, if anyone from Malaysia are interested in purchasing them. Of course, I can't vouch for correct BM/English subs ^^;

Tower Records used to carry rare concert DVDs but I'm not too sure about now since there's not really a store near me now for me to check, but I'll update if I ever get to go~ :3 Hope this helps!

I'm surprised someone hasn't listed this place already...
Sydney, Australia: Kinokuniya Bookstores sells Arashi photobooks and Japanese magazines, including Popolo, Potato, An.An, etc. It's on the 2nd floor of The Galeries Victoria, above Town Hall station.

i get my arashi stuff when my mom and dad goes to overseas trips...
they usually go to hongkong and japan.

then in a store called comic alley, i usually order original arashi cds and merchandises.

i also go to a japanese place in makati near just a bit nearby park square. But you have to get a taxi and go to little tokyo...

(for me this is a high risk, im only 14 and im searching for some arashi stuff myself... what a high risk indeed...)

you can order original arashi cds and merchandises from comic alley? whoa. didn't know that! what have you bought so far from comic alley?

are there any other stores that sell arashi concert dvds and photobooks in thailand? thanks!

Hi there!

I just want to correct a post here about where to buy JE stuff in Hong Kong. It said in the first post that you can buy JE stuff at Sino Plaza but the correct name of the shopping center is Sino Centre.

Sino Plaza is located at Causeway bay and is a high-end shopping mall. The place to go to to buy Arashi/JE/Jpop/Anime stuff is Sino Centre which is located, as indicated in the first post, in Mong kok along Nathan Road.

Exact Address:
Sino Centre, Bldg.# 582-592, Nathan Road, Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Transpo:
Take MTR to Mong Kok station and go to Nathan road. you can actually walk to Sino centre if you want, its not that far. Just go to Nathan road and look for it. Just refer to the building nos. to kow which way and which side of the road its on. Or as suggested in the first post, take a cab. =)

I just thought that I should correct this coz i just came back from HK yesterday and when i was there, i asked around for the exact location of Sino Plaza and everyone pointed me towards the Causeway Bay area along Gloucester Rd when in fact the shop i was looking for was Sino Centre in Mong Kok, not Sino Plaza. I was a little confused until i searched around and got to the right place.

Sino Centre is really one of the best places to go to buy Jpop/Anime stuff! =)

Now i have my own official Arashi stuff. yay! Wohoo!

There are three Kinokuniya Bookstores in New York where you can find JE stuff. There are two store in the city. One is on 49th street at Rockefeller Center and the main store is right behind Bryant Park (adress is 1073 Avenue of the Americas). Since the main store opened, I don't think the one at Rockefeller has any more JE (except for magazines) but I could be wrong. The main store has TONS of JE CDs and things like that.

Oh, an the 3rd store is at the Palisades Mall in West Nyack but I don't know if they have any JE stuff because I have never been to this one

FRANCE
Paris
+ I live in Paris so i know all Japanese shops ! and i buy every month mags (potato, duet, WU...) in a bookshop.
The best is Junkudo (it's the same bookshop than the BIG Junkudo in Ikebukuro) but this one is obviously little. So this is the adress:

Junkudo
18 rue des Pyramides (Pyramides Street)
75001 Paris
France

In Paris, you take the subway no.7 and go to Pyramide Station and the take 'Rue des Piramides' Exit.
When you are outside, turn right and go immediatly in the street on the left, it's Pyramides Street and go straight for 10 secondes and you will be in front of Junkudo.

There is an other shop with CDs. The adress is :

Book-Off Opera
29 rue Saint-Augustin
75002 PARIS

You can go after Junku, it's not far.
Go near the subway, cross away and turn left at Opera Avenue, take at right Gaillon Street and turn at right again Saint Augustin Street, go straight and you arrive at Book Off, there is a pannel with the kanji '本' [~Miyu]

-- About Junkudo:
Yes, I've been there and it was easy to find. It spanned a basement and a ground floor and filled with Japanese manga, novels, magazines and other reading materials. Such a nice place and the staff are friendly. You can get by with money and merci. Ha...ha...ha... The staff speaks Japanese and French. [~jihunny79]

I will have my vacances in France so i need to visit those shops!

can you tell me if those shops are near of "Savigny sur orge" number 91
