Uchiyama Rina

Maybe I should start posting more pics. (Majority will be "re-runs however). Can't seem to find much new ones nowadays. :sweat:

any pix of rina would be nice, i have some, but they would be re-run pix of her, i haven't heard anything new, and it is tough finding anything from her from various japanese bookstores in the LA area or SF area esp. at Kinokuniya bookstores. I know that when i was in Japan, i didn't see anything new on her in the Photobook section. I just wish the bookstores here carried a much larger photobook section here at Kinokuniya, instead of just a small handful of photobooks.
I was wondering the same thing on my nana-chan, anything new?, too bad i don't understand japanese, because her official website doesn't really make too much sense to me. Have you tried to find any new photos/info on Rina's official website??

Re-runs > than nothing at all

Are you serious? :bonk: I wish Rina-chan would release something real soon! Kinokuniya here only has one photo book of her, it's quite devastating.... :shamefulcry: And on top of that, another new drama of rina would be nice :hehe:

which Kinokuniya bookstore are you closest too?
The ones in my area, i haven't been able to find much of anything on Photobooks, it seems like they are a rare thing and if Kinokuniya does carry anything, then it is only a few other j-idols and not much.
Otherwise i haven't seen too much on Rina thesedays at any j-bookstore in my area. :shakehead:

Costa Mesa, Los Angeles, San Jose, San Francisco, and Seattle. I also believe there is one in NY. :bonk:
I have been to all them except the one in New York.
They are all only one story, except haven't seen the one in NY. :bonk:

I didn't see any photobooks when i went to the Kinokuniya, only countless manga, some music CDs, magazines, and.....other books in japanese. I was hoping they would have any photobooks of Rina, Rena, and Aya....but my eyes didn't see it :shamefulcry:

I spent over a $100 that day at that store...so I shouldn't complain :mrgreen:

The more Aya stuff I find...most likely I'll end up in debt :sweat:
I only got my credit card thanks to my mom...but she said she'll take it away from me if I buy too much Aya stuff and if they expensive :puppydog:

Guess its a good thing i didn't find any Rina stuff that day :mrgreen:

Yesasia does sell Rina Calendars don't they???

Not sure. I think so. I bought my last two Ryoko-chan calendars from them...

You can try Amazon Japan as well, there's some English, but you sorta have to figure out some Japanese too.

Hopefully, I'll just check in a few months or so.
Amazon Japan, I'll try. The figuring out the Japanese part is beyond me :shamefulcry: I gotta start taking Japanese classes :sweat:

If you're lookinig for 2005 calendars, they're probably out of print by now... The 2006 calendars will probably be available around September-October, I think.

yeah, just came back from a visit to SJ area, my friend and i went to Kinokuniya once last week and just the other day. I didn't really seen hardly any good photobooks, i think SJ Kinokuniya had less then 10 photobooks and not really good ones. They don't have much magazines, but i did buy a J-beauty mag with NANA on the cover of it. Some of the music i check out were ok, they had Nami Tamaki's new one, but at $38, i had to hold off on buying it.
There is this used bookstore near the Japanese market in Costa Mesa, i am going to check it out next week again, they had a bunch of older photobooks, 2 to 3 years or older. I bought one of Rena for $6, didn't see any on Ryoko, i am sure @bmw would have like that if i found one on her, more than likely it would have been an older photobook. didn't see any on rina though. btw: the bookstore is called BookOff, weird name, actually i went to a bookstore in japan called BookFirst, and it was a multilevel bookstore with an entire section of photobooks, it took me a long long time to look thru them.

Chotto, you went to Kinokuniya SJ the other day?? I went there at lunch time.

I browsed the magazine section for anything with Rina. Didn't see any. :puppydog:
