If you're real Arashi fan and want to support Johnny's,
don't buy non-official goods!!!

And REAL Arashi fans wouldn't download pirated videos, scans and mp3's right? Think before you speak.

i'm not sure if they have HMV in shanghai but you can check out other Record stores in Nanjing Road or Huaihai Road. they sell asian CDs and DVDs. But be careful coz you have to make sure if what you're buying are original stuff or not.

and check out magazine stands while you're there. you can find some magazines that feature japanese idols and artists.

have fun in shanghai!

Ok. I was going to post this anyway.
When i was in Shanghai my friend told me about a small store, that has official JE goods from Japan.
You should take the metro and get off at Caoyang road station (line 3&4 - together). From there, when you go out, you go to the right. Then go straight till Wuning road. Then again turn right. Then go straight till next crossing with Dongxin road and turn left. Then go along the Dongxin street. It's a big market called Xinxigong 新西宫 on the right side of the street. Go to the 3rd floor, after getting of escalator turn left, there will be rows of small shops. If I'm not mistaken, you should go to the first row and just go a bit more ahead and on the right hand you will see it.
It's a small shop, but they have official goods of Japanese and Korean singers.
They also have another shops on this floor that can make different goods with the picture you provide - from badges and mugs, to mousepads and pillows. Sometimes they have it already, sometimes, you need to order and wait 1-2 days.
Also, there is a Foreign Language Book Store, where you can find Japanese magazines (on the 4th floor) and on the way to there from metro station I saw non-official CDs. They are sold by streetsellers, they just on the street with the box of CDs and DVDs, so just check if they have Arashi.
I was there during Shanghai con last year, so they had them.
Also, you can check kiosks with Chinese magazines, like Easy, J-box, J-star, Cool. They have posters in them, and they are cheaper, than Japanese.
How to get to FLBS. Get off the metro at People's Square station and find the Fuzhou street. And just go along it about 10-15 minutes, till you see the FLBookstore. There are about 12 exits on this station. And when I first went to FLBS I was lucky to go through the one I need( but I don't remember which) and go cross the street and right to Fuzhou street.
Just use a map.
Well, I guess that's all I can tell you.
I don't know about HMV, but I can ask my friend about it.
Hope this helps

And, argh, I forgot to ask. I adore your icon since I saw it last year, but can you tell me how old Ohno is on it? Coz I think he is very-very small.. but he's holding a mic... so I'm puzzled.

[yachiichan.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much really for the tip.
I will check it out.
It would be a great help to me =)

As for the icon, im not so sure how old was ohno during that pic.
I believe its a screen cap from a video.
But till now still no avail of where to watch it.
He should be around junior times if i am not wrong?
Cause his looks and age is really difficult to guess (haha).

Oh, I see, thanks)
And my friend said there is no HMV store in Shanghai=(

sorry to disturb you in the discussion but this icon is from Kimi no tame ni boku ga iru xDD
yeah he was 20 ! looks too young T___T XDD


btw, i'm also in shanghai for this month ^^ I was looking for this kind of information !So ! THANKS A LOT !

[nattora.livejournal.com]

Thanks=)))
Maybe because the mic is big, I thought that Ohno is a kid there.
I want to go to Shanghai too TAT

Sorry I'm not sure and so I cna't help you much D: But don't listen to those people up there about being a real fan. I can tell you're trying really hard. Nobody has the right to say who is a real fan and who isn't :) I think you're a perfectly dedicated fan. :D Good luck with buying your Arashi goods! Sorry for not being of any help ><

Haha. Thanks a lot for telling me this =) really sweet.
But i think the 2 of them have a different concept of what i meant by unofficial goods.
Its okay, because i know i am true to Arashi and i can see that you are a great fan too =)

[arashiku.livejournal.com]

No problem :D I just really hate people who say things that they have no right to say :( They probably had no lives to go on insult people D: How would they know how hard it is to get Arashi stuff when you don't live in Japan or if you're parents don't let you buy their stuff =.= Gosh, how rude of them. You are a true Arashi fan as long as you love them ^^ Thanks, really? :) Thank you so much! >

[yachiichan.livejournal.com]

Haha yeah, But although there are this kind of fans.
I have to admit, Arashi fans are one of the most kindest.
Because they sub, translate, help to pre-order, etc the most.
Compared to other groups fans.

[arashiku.livejournal.com]

Its true. Arashi fans are one of a kind. Very special and unique. They have fans from really young age to grandma age XD Maybe a few fanboys :3 And they have fans all over the world. Alot of foreign fans >< I'm so proud of Arashi and happy too! :D Hope they continue to strive int heir tenth year until they turn uh forty! I bet Ohno will stay the same and get younger XD lol.

Thanks a lot for the tip.
Im sure to becareful regarding the official and unofficial goods.
Because in my country 90% of the Arashi items sold here are unofficial.
