A Ticket to Tokyo, An Empty Credit Card, And A Female Hard-on For Custo Barcelona :-D

[neva_far]

I heard there is a branch of Custo Barcelona in Tokyo. And ideas where?

I'm also a HUGE fan of Miss Sixty and Killah...is there only one location (in Shibuya)?

Which districts should I aim for if I'm interested in those or similar labels?

Also...is there a particular area for DJ record shops and sex stores?

I'm leaving for Japan tomorrow, for six days. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

plenty of dj stores,bring alot of money if youre goign for records,go down to shibuya and around the outskirts. some shops i hit up, Cisco records, Spice Records, Manhattan, Tribe, Jazzy Sport(if you go here pick up a jazzy sport tote bag,youll be the collest one on the block,say whats up to gaku hes the owner. Some of these shops are like in alley ways,but theyre all around shibuya area. If you see the condom shop,take a photo you wont miss it its a photo of giant neon condom character. i think thatb place is an a sex shop. pick up a hello kitty vibrator.

Also there is this giant Tower called 109, i think specializing in mostly female clothing and accesories.I forgot what its called. I didnt get to go in,but was loitering outside checkin out the hot lookin kogals.

k, have fun, take plenty of pics and bring alot of change for the train. check the weather cause it might be getting cold there.

Finally some questions that were actually challenging and forced me to research!

Custo Barcelona is located in Omotesando/North Aoyama:

Minato-ku, North Aoyama 3-2-2 AY Building 1F & 2F

Directions there - Take the Tokyo metro Ginza line to Gaienmae Station and exit the 3rd exit. Walk towards Shibuya and the store should be across Parco Mens department store.

Miss Sixty/KillaH is located in Tokyo in two locations:

Flagship store - Shibuya-ku, Jingumaye 6-25-14 Jingumae Media Square Building 1F

Corner boutique - Shibuya-ku, Jingumaye 1-11-6 Laforet Harajuku 5F

Note: Based on some posts on some Japanese forums, it appears there isn't a separate store for KillaH, but since Miss Sixty owns the brand. Your best bet is to ask the store clerks there.

Based on your fashion preferences, Shibuya/Harajuku would be the best bets for shopping for similar clothing. In particular, check out Hysteric Glamour, Moussy, and Sly. They all have a similar style aesthetic.

I think soleindahole did a fine job detailing the better DJ stores in Shibuya. Good job!

As for the giant Tower 109 is called 'Maru-kyu' otherwise known as Shibuya 109. It's mostly geared towards middle-school/high-school girls but it's worth checking out. Also check out 'OIOI' which is pronounced 'Maru Maru'. You can't miss it since it's also a tower and is located in Shibuya. The fashion there tends to be just as fashionable but targets teen's/mid-twenty women/men.

For sex shops, they are everywhere. The condom place I think soleindahole was referring to is called Condomania: http://www.condomania.co.jp/. Also try Kabuchicho and Akihabara for sex shops.

Hope this helps. Contact me if you wanna hang out. Peace~
