Hello everybody!
Need some help here! I recently moved to Brisbane, Australia. And Ican't find any shops here that sells Japanese magazines!!! *gasps* I need my monthly doze of Arashi!!!
So, just wondering, anybody knows where i can go get some?? I know Kinokuniya is in Sydney but they are not shipping magazines. So before i have to resort to the expensive shipping rates from CDJapan and YesAsia, please help me out??

Thanks!!

PS. Any body in this part of the world is a fangirl/ fanboy of Arashi?? Will be happy to make friend

There really isn't much here in Queensland in regards to buying Japanese mags/books. I live on the Gold Coast, and I have a friend who lives in Brisbane and as far as we know there's nothing like that here. I mean I order my mags from friends in Japan, YesAsia and CDJapan all the time.

there's also this place called kangakanga (http://www.kangakanga.com.au/home/) that does mail orders as well.

Sorry I couldn't help anymore.

Anything from 10-25 bucks. And if it comes with bonus gifts it'll cost more cause of the weight. Thou to save on shipping you can get most of the monthly idol mags at yesasia for free shipping when you spend over 40 bucks if you're willing to wait a week or two to get them that is.

I hope that helps.

This is going to sound crazy, but I never really thought about buying the magazines in melbourne- I just somehow assumed that it wasn't possible *smacks head* Thanks for letting me know about Kangakanga!! I'm so going to waste all my chinese new year money there :Dv And I'm sorry to hear that its hard to find them in Brisbane :(

Yeah I'm up in Toowoomba (if you know where that is!). Queensland is lacking in Arashi stuff!
