for tour merchadise, you can buy them at any of the concert areas.

as for cd, there are plenty of cd stores around.
If you go to Shibuya, once you go out of the station, there is TSUTAYA there, right in front.

^ DO you happen to know if they have older singles and what not? Is it like a regular CD store that carries lots of things?

Go to Book-Off. They will have every Ayumi CD and DVD ever released for cheap. Everything's pre-owned, but it's usually in acceptable-to-like-new condition--especially for artists like Ayu. Because she releases so much, there will be a lot of stock to choose from regardless of which store you go to (the one in Shibuya is awesome). I completed my Ayu single collection there.

...I miss Book-Off.

I miss Book-Off so much, they had soooo much Ayu stuff when I was there, especially the store in Shibuya. Also a random one in Kyoto near the Toji Markets had heaps of singles, I bought Free & Easy, Hanabi, evolution, Voyage and & for 105 yen each!

two recommendations for one store is always a plus!

BOOK-OFF IS AMAZING.
Ayu albums are really cheap. I bought most of my CD's there
My first Ayu purchase was MY STORY (w/ DVD), Memorial address (w/DVD), and Duty, all for $7 each. I was floored.

BOOK-OFF is a huge chain, so you should be able to find one pretty much everywhere. They're usually very visible with large signage (If the store is nearby, there will usually be a giant 「本」in primary colors with an arrow pointing in the direction of the store. I think the Akihabara one has a sign more or less right when you exit the subway station, though I also don't think its Ayu stock was as impressive as some of the other's). Might want to check out the official site, too.

I think the one in Shibuya was near Tower Records (the record stores were my primary landmarks lol). Hopefully someone else will have better directions.
