I don't know what happened in HMV's management but the last time I went there (like what 3 weeks ago or so) , the most 'recent' Johnny's single they brought in from Japan was ARASHI's Troublemaker & that single was released last month !
they used to be really efficient in jpop but it seems that after they shifted to 313@Somerset , things more or less went downhill . They don't seem to bring in the latest jpop stock as fast/efficient as before
last time , major releases can be in their shop on the same day if not a day after it's released in Japan
damn sad man , I used to buy a huge bulk of my jpop stuff from HMV when they were at Heeren
you know what's the worst thing ? stuff that I enquired to them last Dec & this year in Jan/Feb , they only started calling me back recently this month & I already got those items online a long time ago
