J-music in londen.

[Tsukiko-chan]

I'm going on vacation to londen. *Shop untill you drop *

And I was wondering if it is easy to buy there J-music.. The only way to get it in holland is trought the internet.. I hope you can get in in londen in music stores..
Does anyone know if it is possible ??

I want to buy the Alice nine. DVD

Greetings Tsukiko-chan

Sorry, but I think it's near impossible to get such stuff in England. I lived in London for 3 years and not once could I get J-Music.

 

[HitsugiMad4eva]

It is Incredibly hard to get j music in london believe me i look every time im there and never have any luck wat so ever but i did find a vidoll cd in harrods Lol allthough its a clothes shop

 

[Tsukiko-chan]

thank you.. Then I have to order it.

There is a place called The Japan Centre, on Piccadilly, but I don't think it has a great selection of j-music. I think the focus is more on anime and manga (although I have never been there myself). You might be able to get some of the most popular stuff there, though.

c.a.m.d.e.n. = goodness!! And resurrection records... which you have to find by goin through another shop... but they have J CD's and DVDs... if you happen to be there on the first Monday of the month then there is J-rock night at the Devonshire Arms.. Also Camden.

We likes Camden... it is good!

 

[Tsukiko-chan]

I was planning on camden.. For the clothing and all.
I have already orderd it but maybe am I able to find Gazette or miyavi. Knowing they are better known around europe

 

[CharismaticDeath]

Awesome... I promise Camden will be worth it... the place is fantastic!

From mainstream shops... ie HMV at the moment I know you can buy Dir en grey, MUCC and Despairs Ray (basically the bands we've had touring here)

Heres Resurrection Records online catalogue (J-rock section) I don't think they will have all in the shop... and they might get things that aren't mentioned there... but it will give you a rough idea.

Resurrection Records J-Rock

Good luck with finding the shop btw... it's hidden behind another one... the problem is I can't remember which shop it's behin to direct you!

 

[Tsukiko-chan]

I don't listen those at all
I listen Gazette alice nine, malice mizer ect.

I don't like dir en gray at all. And the others... I never tried to listen to them not my style

 

[CharismaticDeath]

I know they had Malice Mizer stuff in RR ... my friend found a DVD when we were there, so you might find them!

We really aren't all that good for J-music as of yet... thats the best info I can find for you though.

 

[Tsukiko-chan]

thank you I'm going to make it a good time

 

[CharismaticDeath]

Awesome.
When do you come here? Are you plannin on spending most your time in London?

 

[Tsukiko-chan]

probalbably I'm going some were in august.. or in the end of July we're going dor 4 days. And spend them all in londen. probalby one day camden 1 day center shopping and one day random

 

[CharismaticDeath]

Cool. Sounds like fun! I'd like to get more time to go round London really... and I live here! It's quite expensive for me to get to London!

 

[SushiShin]

speaking of j-music in London, do they sell J-hiphop or J-pop music?

(sorry to interrupt Tsukiko-chan , but i had this question for a long time in my mind)

 

[CharismaticDeath]

Humm not that I know of. But I'm not a big fan of either genres so I guess I wouldn't really notice. Japan Centre might have some... but don't quote me on that.

 

[Tsukiko-chan]

I heard the japan centre is really expencive.

 

[CharismaticDeath]

yeah it is pretty expensive. I had to get my Japanese text book from there... and also bought SHOXX (I shouldnt have been sent to a site that sold SHOXX!)
To be honest most Jap stuff in this country is expensive because they have to import. I once asked a record shop owner if they did any Japanese stuff and he said they didnt because importing was too expensive but they would order specifics if I wanted.

 

[Miyavi-Lover]

I LOVE CAMDEN !!!!!!!! i bought pretty much sweet lolita stuff there ahh soo cool ..

 

[RevengeBabyYeah]

I know Camden is hot. Cheers for that link CD, and I'll do whatever it takes to find it!
Japan Centre is ridiculously expensive, I kinda understand though.
Herbal Shin i would think so as it seems more popular than JRock.

 

[Tsukiko-chan]

I didn't find Japan center so I couldn't buy any magazines.. I wanted a Alice nine poster and a GazettE Aslira did found it and has both now

Well I bought The Nil cd of The gazette at the HMV.

and Camden is love !! I bought a j-rock short !!

 

[RevengeBabyYeah]

Really? Ah cool bet it's really cute!

Where did Aslira find them?

 

[CharismaticDeath]

RevengeBabyYeah no problems!

Nil in HMV!!! It wasn't when I was last there!

Hehe... I love Camden... am considereing moving there at some point! May go on huge shopping spree there in October... when I see GAZETTE!!!! Any on else here goin to that gig?

People in Camden always try and make me buy lolita clothes and I'm not sure why... they don't do it to any of my friends... and I don't exactly dress lolita! Maybe one say I will give in to them and become lolita!!

 

[Tsukiko-chan]

Really? Ah cool bet it's really cute!
Where did Aslira find them?

In the Jap center.. .....

 

[Aslira]

uhu...I bought Area37C in the Japan Centre and it had 2 posters in it *yay* but yea..Japan Centre is expencive...I paid 32 pounds for 2 mags (arena and gothic&lolita bible)

And I also found Ressurection Records in Camden and I bought 2 CD (HYDE and Moi-Dix-Mois)

at SaiSai (also Camden) I bought Nil (they had like 5 CD total..I was lucky Nil was one of them)

And at the HMV on Oxfordstreet I bought the Nameless Liberty DVD
