Hi Guys,
I'll be visiting TOKYO next week for 9 days - so I'll be looking around for any JD/NO ( CDs, LPs, especially Jap-issued ones! ) while my missuss shop at Ginza. I need help from you guys who've been/still are living in Tokyo or Japan in general. You guys might know of addresses of music shops ( besides Tower Records in Shinjuku ) or area to go for music stuffs - New or Second hand? Sir Chunks? Tokoloshe Man?....THANKS :)
Crackin shop called "Vinyl" in Shinjuku which stocks loads of second hand stuff as well as all the new releases. Got a second hand Japanese copy of "En-Tact" by The Shamen in there for about a fiver. Also "Cisco" in Shibuya but it's pretty much devoted to dance/electronica. HMV, also in Shibuya, is fine for all yer commercial stuff. No idea of addresses. Google the names and you should find out
I've never found anything interesting JD/NO related. Back in Tokyo in three weeks though so if you pick up anything worth having let me know.
Konnichiwa!
I lived in Tokyo for 10 years. I know many good 2nd hand CD/LP shops. First You must go to Shibuya. "Recofan","Disk Union" These are large 2nd hand shops.If you lucky?you will find many cheap treasures. If you want Techno/House, "Technique","DMR","Cisco" recommend. Address...Shibuya, Udagawa-cho. This area like Berwick Street in London. also Tower record,HMV in Shibuya.
Do you have big money? Then you go to Shinjuku. "Vinyl" is great,but expensive!!("Vinyl" has 3 shops in Shinjuku) You will find "hard to find" things. also many many record shops in Shinjuku.especially West-Shinjuku area. "disk union"...East-Shinjuku. HMV...Times square South-Shinjuku.
If you want maps,I make it for you.

sorry for my poor English...
I think he's nailed it for you. I'm not too familiar with Tokyo...but if you ever go down to Sasebo, Fukuoka or Nagasaki on Kyushu, gimmie a call. 
Besides, I think I pretty much "Cleaned out" Japan in the 7 years I was there...so good luck!! Hehehehehhee 
Hey thanks.....Master Ferguson, Sir Chunks & Lord Tokoloshe ;)
Guess Shibuya's the place...in fact there's where my missus's friends told her to go shopping.
I'll be visiting Shinjuku too.
I don't expect to buy much though cuz I know stuffs in Japan are expensive...I think I'm only willing to pay 3,000yen for a standard CD....unless it's a special one - like the 2-CD JD's 'STILL' Jap-issue in thick jewel case. It's stuffs like this I'm looking for. I have about 500 items of JD/NO related stuff ( LPs, CDs, cassettes, books, posters ) but very short in the Jap issued ones ( I only have the 13-tk Republic CD, Get Ready CD, Crystal CD-S, WIM & TBTHOG 5-inch CD-S )
I'll email you, Lord Tokoloshe....thanks again!

Yes you must get the STILL version in thick case.I bought it 12 years ago and it is LOVELY!Good hunting..........
Hey Rocket Mick, how's things?
Yea, I've seen that Jap JD Still CD on Ebay before ( I think the seller is a fellow NOOL, his name is Neil something ) and was trying to bid like hell but it went too high....so I copped out in the end...and been regretting it ever since 
...BIG THANKS to Lord Tokoloshe
those PDF maps came out great!!! You should be in the graphic design business 
I have another on on Ebay at the moment. No bids yet, so you may get it cheap this time.

That would have been worth an insane amount of money if only it'd contained 24 Hours on disc 2... I remember this being on sale here in Belgium in about 1990/1, as a Japanese import, for the price of two full price CDs, but I passed it up because it only has the same 20 tracks as the single disc. And I have no regrets!
