Arashi Stuff in Hong Kong

[mayey87.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone! Are there stores in Hong Kong that sell Arashi stuff? I'm planning to go there in a few months. It'd be good to know if there are Arashi stuff sold there so I can save up big time. :D

Thanks!

Sino Center has Arashi stuff. :)

Thanks! :) There are no Arashi stuff sold where I live so I have to buy them abroad. :D

[marszz.livejournal.com]

same here. I need to rely on online sites or if a friend goes abroad and is willing to buy arashi stuff.

I usually get my stuff from 信和 (Xing He) Building, if I am in HK. It is located in Mong Kok, easily accessible by MTR.

There are about 6 floors of shops selling Japanese books, magazines, manga DVDs, CDs and toys. It is best to pay with cash, as most shops will impose a fees for credit card payments.

If you look hard enough, you might still find some older LE versions that are out of stock elsewhere.

Happy Shopping!

Thank you so much! I'd like to ask, though.. Do they have the same price with the ones sold in Japan or are they more expensive in HK? :)

[currycroquette.livejournal.com]

Depends on what version you're getting, HK version or JP version, JP version costs more of course, and that goes for anywhere else I think.

[currycroquette.livejournal.com]

Talking about CDs, other merchandise, probably more if it's authentic since they have to order/obtain it from Japan somehow.

[chashaopao.livejournal.com]

I am not sure... cos I did not really do a comparison. Sorry.

[mayey87.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the info. :)

I'm not sure about the location of the stores but my dad brought me some Arashi DVDs from Hong Kong when he came to Australia for a visit. From the receipt, the store he purchased it from is called Sky Music. The prices for the DVDs were HKD$165 for AAA 2008 in Tokyo, HKD$198 for Arashi Around Asia-Thailand, Taiwan, Korea and HKD$198 for the Final Time Tour DVD.
Hope that helps somewhat...

I'd say the prices are about the same with the ones sold in Japan. :)I'm not sure, though. But thank you so much! That helped a lot. :)

I love how your dad supports your love for Arashi. =D That is so very nice of him~~

[theahhmoment.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, I bought some of my CDs at Sky Music too. It's located in Sino Centre and their prices are pretty good. But make sure you walk around the whole mall/center, check all the prices before you make your purchase. Coz every store is different.

[mayey87.livejournal.com]

yay! thank you so much! at least, now I know where to find the shop. :)

[ome-money.livejournal.com]

Oh - I guess someone beat me to it. ^^ ;
I was going to suggest that same store - J-Friends!
They sell the concert goods there. But the prices are jacked up. >_>"

If nobody has given you directions to Sino Centre yet, it's located right beside the J-Friends building!
The basement level of Sino Centre is where you'd find most of the stuff - they have CDs (some stores are REALLY cheap, and the CDs are brand new!), posters, JE magazines and photobooks, and also several anime stores if you're interested.

[chibi15.livejournal.com]

Yes, Sino Center is the place to go! Also, there is a J Friends store in the area (but the price there is quite expensive). The price doesn't really get marked up much since we are so close to Japan, the import fee is less!

Here is the MAP (http://maps.google.com.hk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=zh-TW&geocode=&q=Sino+Centre&sll=22.321368,114.172587&sspn=0.020763,0.038581&ie=UTF8&ll=22.316448,114.170491&spn=0.002595,0.004823&z=18&iwloc=A)

Happy Shopping!!

You can always try the cd shops in HK like HMV and CG warehouse or any local stores. Most of the times they have it on the shelves so its always best to check them out!
My friend once bought me a photo of sho-chan at this place called 'apple-mall' which is located in Tin Hau. You can get there by MTR, and its only 1 -2 minute walk from it. BUT BECAREFUL! I went there at 11ish before and it was STILL CLOSED. seems like the shop opens at random time and date...
Hope it helps!
(i bought arashi - dream a live first edition from Japan for 350 hk dollar at hk HMV)

[pukushan.livejournal.com]

sorry, its CD warehouse :P not CG... (they have one in causeway bay under times square and taikoo cityplaza)

[junenojun.livejournal.com]

You are so lucky to get Arashi's stuff in local place, since I have to place order all the time on sites. Does anyone kindly to buy stuff for me from HOngkong, it would be cheaper than Japanese version, or could you tell me where I can access to do so, or who accept purchasing
I cant read Chinese ><
many thanks in advance TT

Sino Center in MongKok..
think it was exit E2, do a U turn to the right and follow the road down, maybe 10 min...
Take the ecalator down to the basement and u can find magazines, cd's and dvd's..

I even found Arashi's first concert on VCD in one of the stores!!! SUGOI I have to say.
Also regarding the magazines, walk around because some are cheaper.
They have both JP version and HK versions.. not on everything but some.


Otherwise CD Warehouse in Causeway bay in Times square shopping all.
Or HMV.. but HMV is more expensive.. but all things are official stuff.

hi, are you going to HongKong too?
we're kinda asking the same question here, and gladly we've found the answer :)
i'm looking forward to find the store and shop there, and hope you'll find the store too ;p

[mayey87.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm planning to go to HK around April next year. It's tentative, though. Please help me pray so I can really go and get lots and lots of Arashi stuff. haha! :D And when you find the shop there, please don't forget to breathe. :D hehe. Happy shopping! :]

[mayey87.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone! Thanks for all your help! :] Now I know where to go. :D

[pizzarolls46.livejournal.com]

This is like a year after, but I'm hoping to still get a reply, possibly >_< lol

I'm also about to go to Hong Kong in 2 weeks, so I wanted to get an idea of where I might be able to go also to get arashi/other japanese stuff; particularly magazines
Did you manage to get any things while you were there?
I see quite a lot of replies mentioning Sino Centre,
do the people at the shops there speak english?
and are the prices reasonable?

[bummie-face.livejournal.com]

I've been going to sino centre for like ages for my shiny now, and while they charge pretty normal prices for their new merchandise, they sometimes have older things (like arashi's first cd for example) and they'll sometimes jack up the prices because it's a collectible item.

they don't really speak english at sino centre so if you have a friend that's a native cantonese speaker, that'll be your best bet of getting deals :)
