[INFO] Where to find Ayu CDs around the world

[[taskin.ayu]]

I had this idea quite a while ago and I hadn't had time to start it, but I wanted to do it now. Here I will post addresses to shops to buy Ayumi CDs around the globe, I can only do this with your help, so please post places you go to to get Ayumi CDs, so we can all support Ayu without buying it online! :3 Please give any additional information about the shop if you can also.

If there is a "!" in red, it shows that it does stock bootlegs.

Australia

Melbourne

★ Rong Bao Tang !
185 Bourke St, Melbourne VIC 3000

It has J-pop CDs and DVDs, but stocks mainly fake DVDs. There are some fake CDs as well, but most of them are genuine. It also sells C-pop, some K-pop and a lot of anime/movie DVDs.

★ HAHA
It has very few J-pop CDs, usually at high prices.
Address: Haven't got an address for this one, but it's in China Town and is pretty easy to find.

Belgium

Antwerp/Brussel

★ Super Dragon Toys !
It seems to stock mainly bootleg CDs.

★ Commerce Chun Fung
1012 Clark Street
They generally sell Overseas Versions since their merchandise is imported from Hong Kong. They have CDs, DVDs, plushies, movies, books, anime merchandise, clothes, bags and more.

The store is on the same side where Cactus used to be, opposite to a bank. The banner is yellow with red writings.

Watch Out! If you buy a CD with a slipcase, it's sealed so you can't check it, but ask! it might be a cracked case!

★ Tian Hua / POP ASIE !
1112A, Boulevard St-Laurent
(514)954-1112
They sell MIYA RECORDS/AILON here, 15$ each. They have posters, wallscroll, necklaces, rings of JPOP and anime/manga, they have anime/manga merchandise (hats, pencil case..) DVDs, cards, lighters (Final Fantasy)...

Beside a Vietnamese CD store, it's on top of the hill beside the gates. You must go upstairs.

I guess so but maybe other too like New York...or Texas! But for the most, I think California have more Asian People that why they sell more Asian stuff...!

[*+Dark.Night.Angel.+*]

Here in Mexico we have a couple stores that sell random J-Pop stuff most things are Miya Records Bootlegs, they all seem almost original except for the CD itsefl which most times includes the cover image and not the original design of the CD.

I myself bought A BALLADS long ago and then I found it was a bootleg, a very nice one, but still a bootleg. When I found they were selling a couple My Story CD+DVD I went to see if they were real or not -they were. But the price was insane.

85$ US for it!!!
NEVER!

I asked a friend's sister who was in New Zealand that when she went to Japan on her business trip to bring me an album, it was My Story CD+DVD and I payed only 40$US for it (less than half).

And so, I don't know if there are places here in Mexico from which I can get her albums. Now I'm used to buy on the internet... but it would be nice to know if there's a store with original (not so expensive) Ayu albums.

any major CD shops in Singapore sells ayu's CDs.. older albums are harder to find but still can be bought at big CD stores like HMV
