ViVi Magazine

[jbrat2219]

I wan't sure where to put this... it's a question and it has Ayu in it so... here it goes:

Where can I buy a single ViVi magazine issue online and not have to pay a subscription fee? I only really buy Vivi when Ayu (Kumi or Namie) are on the cover! And the place I use to get it from, Fujisan.com, recent changed their orders to subscription only and I was REALLY pissed off because I wanted the October 2008 Issue and that's it! ><; I saw some on Ebay for a real steep price... so I was wondering, is there any other place that offers ViVi?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Check ebay or auctions or even fan communities on LJ. People sell them there sometimes too.

I got a couple magazines with Ayumi on the cover a year or two ago. Sometimes people will advertise in her fan communities or maybe garagesalejapan on livejournal with magazines they\'re selling. If you\'re lucky you\'ll find some of Ayumi\'s issues or whoever else you want. You have to look through a lot because there\'s a lot of jrock stuff but there\'s also quite a bit of jpop stuff too.

For those of you who live in the U.S. (or other parts of the world where it may be available) My friend told me about this amazing book store called Kinokuniya that sells recent issues of ViVi along with other hard to find magazines/mangas/books

Thank you for all your help! 本当に感謝しています！

ViVi's are also available on yesasia.com...and if u do get them from yes asia..remember to use the AHS link!

Yesasia? Really? I looked but I didn't find anything <_<;;; I'll check again

Kinokuniya is good but the prices fluctuate based on whether they were air mailed or something else. I remember getting one issue for more than another because of that (cause I asked). You can call and ask and they can even mail it out to you and that's just regular US mail cost (I think it still is)

yesasia doesn't have all issues and it's not regular....I don't know how they decide (probably depends on who's on the cover)..so you need to check it periodically

I'm very pleased with Kinokuniya! I ordered the magazine monday over the phone, they told me they would ship it out Tuesday and today there it was waiting for me when I got home after class! I've never had anything delived to me so fast in my life xD; I did pay $7 for the shipping but I paid almost $10 to get it from Japan and it would take more than a week =/

Kinokuniya are awesome like that. I miss living near LA, whenever ayu was on the cover of something I could get it from Little Tokyo
