This is my first time posting in this community so please treat me well! ^_^

I am in Tokyo now until Oct 1. I know I should have done this earlier before I come to Tokyo but I was busy. I am wondering if anyone has any idea of where I should go around Tokyo to find any Arashi related stuff.  I will definitely be going to Johnny`s shop and the Johhny`s fan club. But I would like to go to places/restaurants that was mentioned on their shows. Or posters I can find around Tokyo?  I am wondering if anyone has any idea of where I should go and where to look. My japanese is very limited.  I know I shouldn`ve studied harder but oh well.... 

And another thing, I am wondering if there is any fellow Arashi fan living or visiting in Tokyo is free for meetup? I will be in Tokyo now until Sept 23 because I`ll be going to Okinawa and will be back on Sep 27 until Oct 1. If you are free, please PM me!

Thank you for taking the time to read this! ^_^

Hey there!

I live in Kanagawa, but I'm going to be going to Tokyo on Monday to buy AraFes goods, I plan on leaving early in the morning and then just hanging out in Tokyo for the rest of the day.

I don't know that many places that have been in shows, except for the malls in M5, or the various TV stations. (I also know where Keikarou is, but that's technically not Tokyo...XP~)

Though if you know any specific place, I might be able to look it up online, my Japanese is pretty good, so it wouldn't mind doing some research.

Hi! I'm going to buy goods on monday as well and I'm going alone so if you want company I'm all for it! There's bound to be lots of people there and standing in line is insanely boring if you're alone.. xD

Yeah the goods start selling at 10 tomorrow morning! I'd be great if you could all go really :) I miss hanging out with fellow fangirls since my two best friends moved back to their country earlier this summer!

You can try Harajuku? Takeshita dori. I heard there's a lot of fandom stuffs there. You can walk over after going to JE shop! Although I'm not too sure how to walk over... :x And maybe you wanna try going FujiTV or NTV. Can get drama goods or something. HTH! :D

You should definitely go to Harajuku and walk into the various unofficial idol shops in Takeshita dori (if you take the train it's right across the station :D). There's A LOT of stuff to look at in those stores. Also, there's a couple of shops that resell a lot of official goods. Since Arashi's really popular they have a lot of their old things but they are also very expensive.

If you plan on going to the Johnny's shop make sure that if you go on the weekend you go early because it tends to get busy! Afternoons in general, even in weekdays, are busy, so going early is definitely a must. (The shop opens at 10, I think, and closes at 7). If its busy you'll end up having to wait near a designated smoking area, it sucks. =___= Sometimes if its super busy they'll even give out papers with a certain time at which you'll have to be in the waiting area to get in line to wait even more just to get in. Basically, it's a mess if it's busy when you want to go in. ^^;

He you :)

I'm currently in Tokyo until the 20th and I would love to meet up :)
I've been to Harajuku before but I haven't had a chance to go to the official shop yet, so maybe that is something we can do together? :D

Hey! I live in Chiba - Makuhari-Hongo, really close to Keikarou, if you're interested in going. I also know my way around Tokyo fairly well, and would love to hang out anytime. PM me if you are interested!

From shows:
- Tokyo Tower = AnShi with Gackt; get to see the roads that line up to look like tokyo tower (best to see at night)
- Ebisu Garden Place = from Hanadan. I didn't get to see it (and not sure if still there) but there might be handprints of matsujun & inoue mao-san from HYDF days in Ebisu Garden Cinema
- Yokohama = Sho's fave date place

I went to Japan last year and found this post useful: http://arashi-on.livejournal.com/4135658.html talks about arashi merch & stuff.

Do you want to come concert goods shopping tomorrow? I live in Hiratsuka, so we could meet up at Yokohama station and head out to Kokoritsu together and meet-up with everyone else.

I know how you feel!! I especially lack Arashi friends who aren't my high school students. And don't worry, I'll make sure you get back from Tokyo safe and sound!

I'm in Tokyo too, but unfortunately I have classes when the goods start selling! Would love to meet up with other Arashi fans too (I just arrived over a week ago, so not really a good source of where Arashi things are - YET!) so let me know if you do want to meet up, or meet up with other people that I can crash too! :)

As some users mentioned above, you definately have to go to Harajuku (Takeshita dori)
When you come from the Station just cross the street and enter the takeshita dori.
Just walk a few meters and after 25-30m on the left side is the first Shop. (you will recognize, because of all the johnnys posters outside)
You have to go downstairs. and there is a LOT of stuff. Posters in all sizes, pictures, clocks, cellphone- and keystraps. ect. The stuff there is not very expensive. :) you should go there.
And when you left this shop, another 15-20m also on the left side is another shop.
Also in the basement. you'll recognize the posters outside.
Especially this shop, is one of my favorites, because you cannot get only johnnys stuff there, but its also a huuuuuuuuuuuuuge "PuriKura"-hall. it has about 20 machines and they're pretty awesome.

You should check it out!

Hi,

I currently live in Tokyo..I've been here for about four months but It would be nice to hang out with a fellow Arashi fan. I was not able to get a ticket for the concert, but if you guys are free, do you want to hang out outside Kokuritsu during their concert. I think just hearing them live will be ok for me. Message me too.
