Got back from Tokyo few weeks ago, usually go once a year, twice if I'm lucky. Just want to share some of the photos I took from the stores during my trips there..
First time I went to Tokyo was back in 2009, spent 2 weeks travelling around the country - landed in Tokyo, went to a bunch of places then headed back to the original destination for the return flight. I remember the first time I went to the JAV stores in AKB selling this stuff, absolutely insane when you see it for the very first time. Posters of upcoming movies plastered all over the walls, signed merchandise, sex toys, etc. leading all the way up to the next floor. On the outside the building looks tiny but when you are inside, it's like a maze, easy to get lost - the shelves are so close to each other it's easy to knock stuff over (knocked a few things over myself). Crazy on how much stuff they have in just one of these shops. I did a 4-hour tour around AKB back in 2009 and managed to go to most of the adult video stores in that small amount of time.. now, I think they opened up a few more stores but not that many many. Anyone looking to buy DVDs for steal prices should head to Book-Off - they sell mountain loads of pornographic DVDs for peanuts, among other stuff - books, video games, toys, music and normal movies, etc. The Book-Off stores have basically everything, though the Akihabara branch isn't that good, nor big - the best Book-Off stores in the Tokyo area are outside AKB. If you are looking for new releases / brand new (and some pre-owned stuff) Lammtarra and the sister stores are a good choice - these stores also used to sell a ton of U-15 stuff also, but they have less and less of that stuff nowadays compared to 9 years ago. You can find signed autographed photos / panties, etc. with some of the DVDs also. But for the junior idol DVDs, you can't really find a good selection of them anymore at Lammtarra. Only place that I saw a good selection of them is at a anime toy store beside Electronic Town exit of Akihabara station, forgot the name of the shop but they have lots of anime figures on display at the entrance, ground floor is anime goods, second floor has music CDs, etc. top floor is where you can find the U-15 / idol photo books. Funny thing about the shops that sell JAV - you can wander around and find heaps of places that look innocent enough - bunch of stuffed teddies, anime figurines, video game consoles, etc. at the entrance of the store, when you walk in you see more of this stuff, then you finally reach the back of the shop - fully loaded with hardcore porn DVDs. Got to see it to believe it.
