[quote user="croatoan"][quote user="philip nod"]and if anybody knows tokyo well, (also going to kyoto for 2-3 days) and could recommend a one day shopping itinery which includes the julius flagship and any stores that might carry old ccp boots, that would be ultra nice. [/quote]The Daikanyama area may be your best bet. Julius, Lift shops, Color by Numbers, 7, Attachment, etc. Nakameguro is a few minutes away and has also Venom (DBSS shop.) That probably wouldn't take an entire day, though, so you could always head back to Shibuya for the usual other shopping stuff, including second hand stores that get a lot of CCP, like Kind and Space.

Make sure you get a good map of Daikayama though? the place is terribly confusing to get around. Coming from the MRT station, I'd hit up the Julius store first, then head north towards Lift, Attachment, etc.
Coatoan's advice on old CCP boots in Shibuya is also spot on, though even there the pickings are pretty slim. Most places carry 1 or 2 pairs of boots.
Pnidz, you are the last hope of Japan? Can you save them? Does your bank account have the grit?!
TOKYO ? It?s shaping up to be a tough summer for retail in Japan.
Department store sales in July shed 2.5 percent to 706.2 billion yen,
or $6.61 billion, declining for the fifth consecutive month this year,
the Japan Department Stores Association said Monday. The figures were
adjusted for the change in the number of stores over the past year.
Clothing, the largest component of sales at the nation?s 280 stores,
decreased 0.9 percent to 257.8 billion yen, or $2.4 billion, for the
month. Sales of women?s apparel dropped 0.9 percent, although sales of
children?s clothing rose 3.4 percent. Increasing prices of raw
materials and foods and an unclear economic situation are biting into
consumers? spending power, the association said.
Still, the figures do mark an improvement from June, when sales fell 7.6 percent.
Department store sales in the Tokyo area in July fell 0.9 percent to
174.8 billion yen, or $1.63 billion, compared with a year ago. Sales of
apparel dropped 0.9 percent to 62.5 billion yen, or $585.2 million
dollars. Separates such as shirts, blouses and pants sold better than
one-piece dresses, the organization said. The hot summer boded well for
items that help protect against ultraviolet rays like special
cosmetics, parasols, gloves and sunglasses, according to the group.
