HMV and Tower Records @ Shibuya... it's fun looking at the new release thingies. =3=

These are what the new release displays usually look like.


EXILE

So sad that he passed away :<

The Johnny's section

Arashi's 10th Anni. section in the JE section

Their display thingie

KAT-TUN's display thingie


They were playing parts of RESCUE and One Drop I think... White X'mas and DUES too maybe... for their album

NEWS

K8

It was playing Arashi's concert I think

THSK's section

When we came back on the day Everything/Stand by U was released
Arashi's over the top display that made Marisa ramble about how much of the genius the maker was for a while lol. THSK's display was right next to theirs, but Marisa kept staring at Arashi's more XD But yeah, the house had lights and stuff that turned on and off too

THSK's display that was next to Arashi's

flumpool!

Fukuyama!

Sid!

And a whole Michael Jackson display thing


Along with a Big Bang poster & Eva

SO MANY PICTURES *O*! HMV/Tower Records in Japan looks so much more...into the artists than it is in North America XD! And the little display thingies that played the music videos gakdhg wow! The music must start becoming jumbles of noise coming from those mini screens...unless there wasn't any volume o_o?

[annneonet.livejournal.com]

Idk since I've never really been to big shops in the US lol. =3=;; It plays like parts of the PV like a CM and most of them don't have noise since you can listen to the songs from the single/album through the headphone attached to it... I say most because the ones without headphones like KAT-TUN's did play the songs... although a bit quietly, it was definitely there and we had RESCUE and One Drop stuck in our heads while coming out lol. >.>;;

Pfft, trust them not to have huge THSK posters >| But I spy Do As Infinity lol XD And wow @ Big Bang. They are seriously promoting them over there o-o

your watermark is still huge... but pretty!

[annneonet.livejournal.com]

Probably because Avex doesn't pay enough for it lol. =3=;; I forgot to take a pic of Masha's huge poster on the window... but besides the really new releases, JE's the only one with their own little section with the semi-old displays and stuff.

Lol is it? I never really cared about the size since there isn't much for it to cover. Oh well, less reason for people to take the images. 8D Private photos are one thing I'd rather just share but not have spread.

*O*
Oh wow those lil cute colorful display thingies they do for the new releases ♥
and whoa so much of promotion on bigbang O:
*paws at EXILE's section* ♥

[annneonet.livejournal.com]

Every time I saw the EXILE section I was reminded of you. XD So now, EXILE = KokWah just like how Chun's hair = Marisa. lol 8D;; Yeah, I was pretty surprised at how much Big Bang stuff there was everywhere. @o@

I love the new release displays! They're so cool

[blinkable.livejournal.com]

Actually I wanted to mention that you probably took the EXILE section for me ♥ 8Db I am proud to be linked in this sense then LOL!

[annneonet.livejournal.com]

I did. xD I saw the EXILE section and was like oo KokWah! and took a pic. 8D; Same with one of the pics in the post of the cities... there was an EXILE billboard so I took a pic of that direction lol.

It was pretty cool for me too, although I can't compare since I don't live nearby any huge CD stores. >.>;;
