Arashi fan goods in Taiwan & Hong Kong?

[momo1124.livejournal.com]

Hi, I need some help here :) I am heading to Taiwan and Hong Kong for a long vacation in June/July so I am wondering if there's any major place/buildings that I can buy fan goods of Arashi (be it official or not). 

As for Hong Kong, I heard that there's a large building which sell all the Jpop/Kpop fan stuff. Does anyone have the specific address to that place? It's ok if you can give me the address to any other place in Hong Kong (preferrably in the city centre district)

For Taiwan (Taipei), I have absolutely no idea as to where there's fan stuff available for sale~ Can anyone give me addresses of some of the major CD shops as well? Thank you so much for your replies in advance!! :)

For Hong Kong, you would definitely have to go to Sino Centre, it's in Mong Kok, only 10 minutes from the nearest train station.
Just go to google and search Sino Centre Hong Kong, you'll find it.

I myself always go there to buy Japanese stuff, for music-related stuff, I recommend you to go to the basement and 1st floor, for anime-manga-related, 2nd and 3rd floor, and there's pretty much nothing on the ground floor.
I wouldn't suggest you to go there on sat/sun, it's absolutely super super crowded, also, most of the shops there open quite late, around 12-1 pm.

If you have time, just explore the shops, I recently found Arashi's first album and to my surprise, it was unexpectedly cheap :p
Hope you'll have a wonderful time in HK, happy shopping~~~

Taipei. If I remember correctly you can take the underground to "Taipei main station" station, and you exit there. From the exit you have to go in front of the Shin Kong Life Tower. Looking at this tower just do in the little street on the left side (the station at you back). At the end of the street there's a big shop with yellow and red sign, name is 光南. In general, is a multi-floor little mall with cheap things, from cosmetics to notes and pencils. The ground floor has music section with japanese, taiwanese and korean music. Arashi and other Johnny's group are on the left wall ^^

If the link works, here is the place with google map: https://maps.google.it/maps?q=Taipei+Main+Station,+No.+49%E8%99%9F+Section+1,+Zh%C5%8Dngxi%C3%A0o+West+Rd,+Jhongjheng+District,+Taipei+City,+Taiwan&hl=it&ie=UTF8&ll=25.045559,121.515468&spn=0.001788,0.002004&sll=41.442726,12.392578&sspn=24.988264,32.827148&oq=Taipei+main&t=m&hnear=Section+1,+Zh%C5%8Dngxi%C3%A0o+West+Rd,+Jhongjheng+District,+Taipei+City,+Taiwan+100&z=19&layer=c&cbll=25.045557,121.515564&panoid=AmjBiGjzuwLagCeXDp0LUw&cbp=12,157.61,,0,-1.77

If you want any advice for Taipei or Taiwan in general I went there thi christmas and I trveled alone all around the island. I absolutely loved it and I can give you some hint (for hostels too!)

[momo1124.livejournal.com]

Omg I so need your advice!! I am actually doing back-pack travelling to Taiwan, (most probably taipei, taoyuan & taizhong) and I have read tons of travel guide books but I still have no idea where to start!! Can you recommend some places that are a must to visit? And as for the hostels, are there really cheap but ok ones?? Thanks alot for your advice ;___;

[hika86.livejournal.com]

Off course dear *_* now I prepare the list of hostels, places and other advices for you and I send it to you via MP.
May I ask you if youve already decided how to travel in Taiwan? Airplane or train?

[momo1124.livejournal.com]

Hi there!
I will be in Hong Kong from June to August,
so I might be able to give you a tour around places that sells arashi goods if you want!

[momo1124.livejournal.com]

OMG I WOULD LOVE TO BE ON YOUR TOUR but unfortunately, I am on vacation with my parents... :'( So I can't really go wandering off on my own damnit >_<

[ninomiyacoyi.livejournal.com]

awww that's a shame >_<
But have fun in Hong Kong!
And I hope you get as much arashi goods as that you want over there hehe :P

[momo1124.livejournal.com]

Awww thanks! I hope to buy some goods at a reasonable price :D

[ninomiyacoyi.livejournal.com]

yeah, the prices for arashi goods are reasonable for me in there ^_^
and in Sino Centre, sometimes in different shops, they would have different prices for the same product,
so I would recommend you compare the prices for the goods in those shops before buying :P

[momo1124.livejournal.com]

Oh ok! That's really an important reminder for me! thanks alot :)

Jia Jia in Taiwan for japanese cds (Taiwan version, but original too). At like a fraction of the japanese price. ^_^

[momo1124.livejournal.com]

Omg! Thanks alot for the info! I will definitely some CDs there :)

[joditan.livejournal.com]

There's a building close to Sino Center that sells Johnny's official goods. They may be expensive but it's a nice place to take a look.

[priscateng.livejournal.com]

In taiwan, there is place that sells unofficial stuff, but they have quite a lot and it is a huge shop.
It is in xi men ding, cant remember which part, but it does not have a shop name! It is upstairs.
I thought it was quite noticeable because they have A LOT of posters pasted out side, along the stairs up.
Hope this helps you! enjoy!!

[momo1124.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I will definitely go check out this place :)
