Is Kinokuniya a store that sells general Japanese things?

kinokuniya is a famous branch from japan that sold all the books, comics,mags from japan.it also have reading materials from all over the world, but more spesifically on japs materials...
hmm..for the cds, we have some great shops that sell vcds from japan, korea and hong kong with great-cheap prices!!@@

I honestly can't say I can go out and track all the latest Japanese magazines that come out, but I know all the manga/Anime stores around Los Angeles.
But then if I wanted kawaii Japanese stationaries and stuffed animals, I can actually get them in Taiwanese shops (since Taiwan is closely related with Japanese shows). They sell a lot of Korean and Japanese merchadises here.

Nah... there's no Kinokuniya here. If there is, I'm not aware of one since I'm not a frequent vistor of Little Tokyo (a community full of Japanese people). And I don't actually gain access to Wink-Up or Potato since the stores I go to are just Chinese manga bookstores. Pity~ But mark my words, I will hunt down a store that sells all the Japanese celebrity magazines a girl can take!
owwwhh..so sad to hear that..never mind! you can come to malaysia and enjoy the japs things here!! mayb jap mania in yur country doesn't arrive yet..why dun you suggests in any forums to have one kinokuniya shop in your country?

I just went to the yellowpage and searched for Kinokuniya Bookstore. We actually have one here in downtown Los Angeles! And I didn't even know about it? I must run down there and check it out yo!
Thanks for informing me about Kinokuniya.
You're right, I should just spread my craze for Japan. But all my friends are not an otaku like me~
so u stay in los angeles? so cool..it sounds more interesting than s'pore. but i actually i think the jap craze in singapore is kinda over and replaced by the korean mania..that's y it's actually harder to find jap stuff here now than before.

I actually have an account on Idolthoughts, chika, I just signed up to check out the gallery, but I haven't been in the forum. I'll check it out and keep an eye out for you.
Yeah, it's a pity my friends don't understand half the things I obsess over. I'll be posting tons of pictures of Kame and yap about his holy hotness and all I'll get are blank stares.
diversity?personally i feel that after staying in singapore for like say a year..i think u would just feel stifled by the environment. haha..but i still like singapore anyway..it's starting to grow on me. hey..but i thought my sassy sirl was quite nice..i liked windstruck too.
haha..realised i also tend to watch korean shows. but the people around me consider jap stuff to be a thing of the past..and they tell me i m so living in the shadow of an ex fad..haha..i guess jap stuff are really out. but i like them anyway. esp jin akanishi. he looked super good in anego. and gokusen 2 too.

Amen to that, kayla! Hot guys never get old... and I for one guarantee Jin and Kame will stay awesome forever (at least until they get all wrinkly XD).
Windstruck... mmm I was going to borrow that from my friend, but I still owe her Naruto CDs. So what is it about?

Ah... so jealous. You have friends who share your craze. All we can talk about are Harry Potter and American celebrities like Adam Brody. Well I do know this classmate who likes Jdorama. But he's a guy, and he only likes Tsuyoshi Tomohto dramas...
Oh yeah, this is Adam Brody (just so you'll know).

Jin is very yummy in Gokusen 2. His hairstyle is so hot! I have to admit, in my Kat-tun picture file, I have more Jin photos than Kame ones. I like Kame's coolness, but I love Jin's extroverted trait.
to pumpkin puff: hey i like adam brody too...thought he was super adorable in the oc!! have u finished watched season 2 of the oc??? dun tell me u like harry potter too..i m a huge fan..just that i haven got the sixth book..dying to get my hands on it...haha..n my frens say it is super nice

I'll be glad to share my joy with y'all. I think my classmate enjoys the type of heart-warming drama by Tsuyoshi. I don't think he actually likes Tsuyoshi as a person. Shame on him.
You're welcome. : ) Adam Brody is this rising celebrity who stars in a popular TV show in US called The OC. He acts as a dorky skater... so naturally, he's hot hot hot.
haha..realised i typed too fast.. actually wanted to ask u whther u finish watching oc season 2 because singapore tv is like lagging behind. haha...oh n windstruck is basically the prequel to my saaay girl..haha
it's a must watch!
