in ma country cd store only sell famous j-pop star such as ayu,hikki,boa,namie,l'arc~en~ciel,kuu,mika,,,,,,
but they're indonesian ver....which is cheaper than os ver...........in medium quality.......

n what make i'm very happy is around 2004 MY STORY was put on list of best selling cd......i never saw it b4..........it was on bulletin music store in semarang indonesia....

In UK, all people care about are Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift etc.

If U sing J-Pop, K-Pop or C-Pop, people think ur weird.

(Luckily 4 me, one of my friends likes Hikki, so we can sing 2gether. LOL)

we have an exploding Asian population in my area, so there are a few stores that sell the basics, like the really big artists. there's always some Ayu sprinkled in, thankfully, even though i've busted a few stores for piracy.

My community is 60% asian. I'm asian too @_@

I live in the US so all of my stuff is bought online. There is one retailer the specializes in anime near me and they occasionally carry the very recent/popular Japanese CDs, but they're waaaay overpriced.

Well for me, I have to really dig deep into Chinatown, then I found this little joint that sold all of Ayu's albums and I was like HEHEHE!
So I bought GUILTY CD+DVD first press there for 20 bucks, and I hope they get more stuff, cause they're easy to bargain with!

A friend of mine just informed me that there were a few Koreatowns near me and they sell Asian albums for good prices. I think I'm going to go check them out in the near future.

not now... i am living in the countryside~

No. I must order my stuff from online shops because in my near aren't any shop for JPop stuff.

no :(


i just have 3 friend to whom i share music but only mp3...

Well I actually live near a Mitsuwa Marketplace, a few K-towns, and a Kinokuniya Bookstore. They sell Asian CD's of course but I never had the pleasure of purchasing from them because of their steep pricing. I use to buy some from the flagship Virgin Records store in NY, but they have gone out of business. I mostly buy my CD's online now.

Nope, only place I get mine is from online. Where I am at, people don't even know of jpop really.
