Where to find J-Pop in L.A?

So, I'm heading to L.A for 4 days, and I was wondering where is J-Pop sold there? I'm tired of going to SF.

So can anyone help me out?

Please & thank you!

I went to L.A. two weeks ago and bought in a store called Book-Off that emiko recommended me and found various interesting items
Just google it because they have multiple locations, I went to the one in Costa Mesa

Then I found a strange and expensive "J-culture" shop near Little Tokyo, Downtown L.A., but everything was $60+

There's the Kinokuniya if you mean LA as in downtown....everything is so expensive though. Singles have reasonable prices ($13 per single) but albums reach like $70+ for CD+DVD sets. They have some pretty recent items though...like Perfume's limited edition ⊿ album. I was kinda disappointed though. Didn't buy anything...to expensive for my taste. There's not a huge selection either. I havent been to the one in Costa Mesa or the BookOff located there either but I'm looking forward to going there some day.

Ok, thanks you guys!

I wont be going anywhere near a Kinokuniya because I'm assuming the prices are the same at all locations.

I'll try to check out the Book-Off, just because I heard it's pretty cheap.
