Okay US #skz #straykids folk: best place to buy physical #straykidsHollow album from? (Preferably in person in #SanFernandoValley/#LosAngeles but I'll take known safe+reputable online shops too.)

I would... like to not pay an arm and a leg but I'm aware Japanese albums are often Expensive and don't get e.g. Target exclusives like it looks like their Korean discography is slowly gaining. (I am a simple, poor Stay okay.)

@inoru_no_hoshi Kinokunya's LA location is likely to have it in stock, since it's a Japanese release, so if you can get to Little Tokyo, I'd start there. If for some reason it's out of stock, they'd be able to order it in for you, but I can't say what price is going to be like.

@yuuana Little Tokyo is a day trip (after the no kings protests calm down, it's in the middle of the curfew zone and currently rather inoperative) when @inoru_no_hoshi and I are both feeling good, leaving in the early morning, but it's doable eventually; idk about soon and it's definitely not something I'm sending them down to by themself (between narcolepsy-or-otherwise sleep attacks, etc health problems I prefer to go with them especially when it's further away or they're not familiar with the routes). but yeah that is doable.

@californiummm @inoru_no_hoshi That's understandable and it's probably not something to worry about doing quickly as it's not like it's going to go out of print any time soon (probably).

For online shopping, if that would be easier, my two go-tos for Japanese releases are CDJapan and YesAsia, tho I haven't shopped either since the tarrifs and de minimus changes, so waiting to make the trip to Kino might still end up better, idk.
