My money likes Japan. It decided to stay here.

We really went shopping way too much. I found too many rare things that just happened to be available for my two obsessions (Zetsuai and Buck-Tick). K-Books had the Bronze/Cathexis 2-VHS set. Originally sold for around 7800yen, but being re-sold for 4200yen. I just couldn't leave it. HMV had 13kai wa gekkou that I split with Angelica so we could hear it, then sell it once we get back to the US; as well as Lucy's Rockarollica which I haven't been able to find at Book-Off. That was about 5000yen total.

Then I found -- in a goth/rock store in Harajuku today -- a DEMO CASSETTE TAPE from 1985!!! I had to buy it; I just couldn't leave it there. That was 3800yen, plus there was a CD single there (only 100yen) that said "The Bluck" on it. I'm hoping it has to do with Bluck-Tlick, but it's probably just a shot in the dark. But at 100yen, it wasn't a loss of anything.

Then. In Tower Records, Angelica found a photobook I was looking for... another 4000yen. And even though I saw the UV (#113) I was going to buy -- with BT on the cover, and the pin-ups, I got the Ongaku to Hito instead, 'cause Atsushi looks just so delicious on the cover. (And it was 680yen instead of 1200yen.) ^_~

More updates tomorrow. BT concert tomorrow. I took a look at the tour goods on the BT site just now, and (damn them) 4 out of the 5 designs are S/M sizes only (3000-4000yen). One design comes in a L (of course this one is 4500yen), so I'll probably get that one, and the tour book (2500yen).

Awww, we didn't really have time to do anything more than transfer trains through Shinjuku -- what shops did you go to? We might be able to take a quick go-through on Monday...

I'll let you know about The Bluck as soon as I listen to it/figure it out.

lets see, NOIZ was on top of Mauri one, disc wave had a lot of old B-T stuff upstairs, and we went to a Like an Edison....there's literally about 20 tiny record stores near the train station. if you come out of the station, there is a big street with mos bagaa on it....you walk towards mos bagaa, then cross over the street, and they're in a neighborhood back there. >< sorry, we had to get directions from a guy working at HMV in shibuya.

I spent *so* much at the BT concert last night (they didn't have any thing else except what was listed on the website, so no solo photobooks, gomen ne) that I'm avoiding Shinjuku and *any* place that might have BT stuff because I literally have 4000yen to last me for the rest of today and half of tomorrow. And that's pretty much train fare and food, so I'm only taking pictures for the rest of the trip. ^_~;
