Ayu merchandise in North America
 

I'm not sure if anyone asked this already, but do they sell any type of Ayu-related merchandise in the U.S., specifically California? Maybe in small Japanese stores or something? Or is it impossible to import overseas?

you can buy online? and in japantowns? i'm sure they'll have magazines or CDs

you're where? San Diego?

Uh...I know it's a bit far, but I know there are Book-offs down in the LA area that sell tons of stuff.

I have a friend who lives in Pasadena and he's always going to the Book-off I guess around there.

I could swear we have an HMV as well...but...that's a long shot because I really don't remember.

You know what, I think they have a book-off in San Diego...let me see if one of my friends knows.

Anyone know of places in Washington DC area?
And there is a Book-Off in San Diego heres the site: http://www.bookoff.co.jp/en/index.html

Also if there's an Asahiya or Kinokuniya in the area, they'll most likely have stuff.

Kinokuniya in little tokyo LA had all the new magazines with ayu, and the occasional book collectible (I do believe they had uraayu there last time I went, but that was literally years ago). There was a smaller bookstar in Japanese Village Plaza in LA that carried jpop calendars too, so ayu's calendar might be there.

Book-Off is probably the best place to find anything else, or anything out of print. They carry all kinds of stuff.

Ah, I see! Thank you very very much! (Now if only I can get my parents to take me there) It's next to Mitsuwa, too! (Maybe I'll get my hands on some magazines when I visit the market for school field trip in November):D

Thanks, though!

I know there are a lot of places in Little Tokyo, in the LA area, where you can get lots of Ayu related goods. There's even a place that sells Japanese CD's in Koreatown (LA), but the people there are a little rude.

Ohh how i miss Book-Off in Kagoshima, Japan. :( The CDs were dirt cheap! Next time I'm in NY definitely have to give it a visit.

I wish I could spend time to look around in L.A. but I never get to. :( Maybe when I grow up I'll go.

Aww, I wish there was a Book-Off in San Francisco. All (I think) we have is a Kinokuniya, but the CD's are soo expensive..*sigh*

I kinda miss the days of cd-only albums being the standard. back then, you couldn't find a cd at kinokuniya for more than $33. *shrug* ah well.

lol! i used up alota money there! buying CD+DVD stuff @__@
i saw a whole bunch of ayu stuff in chinatown! i do believe theyre not pirated ^___^

The Book-Off stuff is pretty cheap! I get tempted to buy all the CDs (and I wish they had more, too). Do they possibly sell any magazines that would feature Ayu? I didn't seem to find any (or maybe I didn't have time to look well enough xD).

There's a Book Off here in Vancouver too!~ :D

Well....i saw a copy of guilty and a-ballads and rainbow at a store called Tokyo in the westfield shopping center in santa anita @_@ This is california btw
