SF people - know any Japanese video stores that sell online?

so I'm looking for some fairly hard to find titles that are not out on DVD yet, and I don't want to buy shitty bootlegs (I actually already have a couple boots that I want to replace.) and Japanese VHS tapes are often very hard to find.

I've tried every Japanese site that I know to look on - amazon.co.jp, cdjapan, etc. I even tried YJA and no such luck.

I thought maybe Japantown might have something to offer? I'll try anything.

thanks

 

Re: SF people - know any Japanese video stores that sell onl

What exactly are you looking for?

 

originals of toei's series of 7 sukeban movies from the early 70's.

in particular the first several in the series, Sukeban Blues 1 & 2

 

You might find something in this link to Bay Area Anime Shopping:

TRy contacting Rick aka our very own Blackshyr (sp? as usual) - he specialises in selling Japanese and Asian movies from his store on Sunset Blvd. He knows his shit, and maybe able to offer some help.

 

yeah, might try japan video... that place is pretty good sized & has been around for awhile. dunno if they have what you're lookin for

 

These guys seem to have cool stuff.

those guys are actually very close friends of mine. hung out with them last night.

but they unforutnately don't have what I'm looking for.

thanks for the other suggestions guys, I'll have to check them out

if they would just put the series out on DVD already, I'd have no problem finding it. but because it's still VHS only...
