I will fly to Tokyo tomorrow night for a few days, and i want to know where can i buy Arashi merchandise beside Johnny shop in Harajuku such as penlight, t-shirt, concert goods and so on..Another question is, does Johnny shop only sells official photos or they sell something else. Hope everyone can help me and together we spread the love of Arashi throughout the world.. Y(^_^)Y

Really, the only place to find concert goods in Tokyo, probably would be the official shop in Harajuku, but those goods usually sell out fast. The other shops in Harajuku usually sell non-official goods, or they sell older official goods.

The only other way to get the concert goods would be to go a concert or look for them for sell online.

You can find Arashi's faces plastered on freaking everything in Tokyo, but as far as I know, only the Johnny's shop sells ~official~ stuff.

Hi!
There are different places where you can find Arashi goods:
- various unofficial shops in Takeshita Dori (Harajuku station). You can find unofficial photos (and sometimes official old ones), and various unofficial goods.
- Mandarake: here is a link to find their locations (I suggest you to go to ikebukuro, Nakano and/or Shibuya) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandarake
You won't find same items in all mandarake shops...so if you have time, try different ones
- Nakano Broadway: one station from Shinjuku on Chuou Line. Take North exit, and go under the arcade. At the end of the arcade is THE building (there's a Mandarake shop there, and go to TRIO2 and TRIO3 shops too...they often have old goods.....)
- For second hand CD and DVD, you can try Book off too (many all around Tokyo...and Japan)

I hope this can help, feel free to ask for more information f you need.

Book Off only has CDs, DVDs and magazines. You won't official goods there.
(I love Book Off! So cheap! But you have to be careful now. I almost bought from the new section instead of the cheap used section.)

Went to visit Japan in August. It used to be that the Johnny's Shop sold goods (lots of it) but now it's mostly just the official photographs and occasionally goods. Your best bet for getting (current) concert goods is to go to the shop outside the concert.

Otherwise, you can find Arashi goods down Takeshita-dori in Harajuku. Try EVERY shop that doesn't have clothes. You can find them in surprising places. The best place for finding GOODs though is Patty's (found in malls) or at a shop down Nakamise-dori in Asakusa (follow the signs to Nakamise-dori).

Other than that, as the other ppl said, you can find magazines in book stores or convenience stores.

TIP: If you want to know how much something is, look at the back. There is a tiny square in the bottom with a number. That is the price. Some items (like magazines) are cheaper than others.

Go to Nakano Broadway! It has everything you could ever want in terms of arashi goods. There is a mandarake there that has a small selection of goods, but father back is a store just for johnnys goods. I spent hours there XD. If you would like directions or pictures of the place I am happy to send them to you ^^

If you're thinking of visiting Odaiba (fuji-terebi station!), there's Arashi unofficial goods in one of those malls. There's quite a bit of gachapon machines, and they also have folders, mouse pads, notebooks etc.

I remember only buying photos from the official shops, since they don't really sell much of anything else during non-concert periods.
