crystal mall, in this k dvd store thingy... and he just sits there on his counter in front of a computer.. and i remember he was showing me that he's buying the 5x10 concert dvd and he made it more expensive than the one on the internet.. o.o''' that was during April...

what? so he sells more expensive than the internet? are you saying that it's cheaper to buy it off the internet and not from the old man?

apparently.. yes.. but he sells the concert ones expensive.. the singles are same as the internet.. so my suggestion.. only buy singles from the old man.. XD

i forgotwhat the name is... it's like a korean dvd store thing... i know how to go there though..

go to the wet market and go up to the food court.. you'll see some bubbleteas at you're left once you go up the escalator... turn to the direction of where the bubble teas (or chinese foods) are.. and move forward.. (you'll see this kiddie ride and stuff toy crane machine ahead)

then go to your right and just go there.... and if you see a dvd asian store.. and it's near a music shop... than you're in the right place.. XD

so i've been keeping up with this thread mainly due to the fact that I also live in Vancouver. I'm pretty new to Arashi and the fandom so I'm curious to find out where I can buy some Arashi stuff. I kinda guess where I buy them but you guys confirmed for me.

I just want to make sure...does the old man buy 1 original cd and sell the bootlegged ones? He doesn't sell the original ones?

I'm guessing I can get the original yet second hand/used ones from Book off?

he buys the concert and singles out the internet so it's definitely original.. (crystal)
but he sells the dramas and special dramas and movies fake...

The old man should give you some sort of discount for bringing in customers for him!! I haven't had a chance to go yet. I might go today. I'll probably laugh when I see him.

thanks for the quick reply.

oh I've been to Iwase books many times. I go there to buy my Naruto manga. I haven't been there lately so I haven't had a chance to check if they have any Arashi stuff. Now that I know that they do have Arashi stuff, I'll definitely check it out next time I go. Thanks!

For bootlegged DVD's? O.o
There's no official stuff that they sell there...

Date: 2010-07-02 07:06 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] pikanchi-nya.livejournal.com
yes they do.... i remember seeing it.. and it's real.. i always go there... the fake stuff they sell are the dramas and movies.. concerts.. there's an original one... i remember seeing 5x10 clips dvd and he's selling it for $70... and that was like 4 months ago.. That's why he's selling original dvd's expensively...

Date: 2010-07-02 07:08 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] pikanchi-nya.livejournal.com
and if its expensive.. it means it's the real deal.. if not.. he should have sold it for $10...

hi Totti-chan!
i'd recommend book off as well.
(type in 'book off 636 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC' in google map).
they've got arashi's dvd, cd, single, movies (2nd hand, but they're quite pricey too me~) and recently, they're selling new mags (they also got old issues of the usual potatos/duets.. etc).
enjoy!!

I agree with katokathy. Go to Crystal Mall, Aberdeen, Metrotown and Yaohan. XD

I personally wanted to try to go to Crystal Mall and check it out, but I've been so busy to go (I only live a five minute drive away too! T 3 T) Though, they have a few CD places that might sell Arashi (and other Johnny material).

Though, I did go to Yaohan and checked out its Japanese bookstore; they have a whole shelf dedicated for Johnnies. XD It is pricey though; since it's been air-mailed and the whole currency conversion.. :/

As for Metrotown, I think the only "store" that has Arashi things is this vendor cart right outside of T&T Supermarket. The vendor was at a Night Market and that's where I got my Arashi 5x10 tour DVD. But I'm not that sure if they sell it while they are actually in Metrotown.

Arberdeen... I haven't really checked out the bookstore... XD

Actually at first I thought my 5x10 DVD was bootlegged or pirated or something; but to my SURPRISE, it was the REAL DEAL. I was so shocked; more than you can expect. XD

Yea, the one in front of T&T - though, I got it at night market (I think I said that before.. But just in case I didn't.. LOL) It was decently priced....? I got it for 15? :/

Ohhh, so maybe it was then. /saddddd
Ah well - at the very least IT LOOKS OFFICIAL. /fail XD

But maybe because my machine is Japanese too? /denialll~~ <3

Definitely try Yaohan (the book store mentioned above is amazing and they speak Japanese) and if you're looking for, say, a drama or movie with Johnny's in it, there's a little stand in Metrotown right beside T&T Market. Highly recommend it, though they are bootlegged, I believe. Other then that, I don't know. I tend to go into Vancouver a lot and I've asked many people about shops where I can buy merch, but the stores are slim to none.
