where can i get japanese fashion magazines in the uk?
I was just wondering where could you find magazines that have information about japanese fashion in the UK? Would the magazines be in english?
personally i dont like cd japan and yesasia cdjapan takes forever to ship and shipping rates are insane ! and yesasia is WAY overpriced on magazines 15-16$ each +shipping. amazon.com also sells japanese magazines but you have to buy one full year it goes from 150$ to 200$ a year ( its quite pricy to pay in one time)
to order online i prefer http://www.myjpop.com because i pay only 6$ to 9$ per magazine .
the best is if you buy it in store directly . i dont know where you are in UK but there is 2 japanese book store asahiya and kinokuniya .both are in london .
here is their address and phone number if you wanna contact them :
KINOKUNIYA PUBLICATIONS SERVICE OF LONDON CO., LTD.

also all the japanese fashion magazines are published in japanese and chinese but they dont have any english version yet .
only jpop and visual kei magazines like cure or purple sky are published in english .
if you are into japanese fashion a lot and want advice or translation for those magazines you should try this forum http://ricoche.net/ ( people are really nice and friendly , and also very helpfull when it comes to give you advice on how to look more japanese or pull out a japanese style )

I am Chinese, but I have some Japanese friends. Some of them order DVDs, CDs, magazines, books, clothing, souvenirs, etc. from the CDJapan website in Tokyo. They also buy magazines, books and movies from Kinokuniya Bookstores. Check for one in your area. YesAsia website might have some.
