This place was awesome. It is really sad to see it go, but not altogether unsurprising since Akihabara hasn’t been a place to get cheap electronics for 10 years or more (thanks to Korea’s improved technical manufacturing). The other thing is that you’d rarely get much cheaper prices there than at a Bic/Odabashi Kamera anywhere else in Tokyo.
@PrestonSturges is right… it’s now just basically the best place to go for sex toys, pr0n and anime/manga. Oh and yes… they do seem to have a disproportionate level of defecation/vomit/enema pr0n in Japan. For those who are curious, the letters “JAV” will be helpful for your searching.
The Radio Store building will be sold to the East Japan Railway Company that operates Akihabara Station.
Fuck that shit. (no pun intended)
