How many of us are there? Clackamas Mall has remodeled (it's even bigger than Loyd Center and they have this awesome store there now called Unique Imports which sells J-Rock cd's for $12) I'm eventually hoping to move into an apartment across from the mall and was thinking it'd be neat to start a little monthly J-Rock fan meet up thingie in the foodcourt by the Panda Express. Maybe we should put something up on "Meetup.com" or "Yahoo Groups?"

by j-rock do you mean gackt and hyde and laruku...
and where do you classify orange range

Whaaaaat?! That store has jrock CDs?! Luckily I am going there tomorrow to get my hair cut, so I'm gonna check that out!

And monthly jrock meetings sound awesome~ I live like 5-10 minutes away from the mall so I have no objections to that

From what I could see they had Dir en grey, Gackt, Moi dix Mois, Malice Mizer, Hyde, L'arc en Ciel, Miyavi, and some other stuff I didn't recognize. Also a couple anime soundtracks too. I would classify Orange Range as J-Rap, lol...

Oooh, Moi dix Mois. Well, I need to check that store out for sure then also. ^_^

Hmm I wonder if I'll look suspicious if I went into the store and snapped a picture of the shelves...>___>

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #6 on:** February 29, 2008, 11:07:14 pm »

lol, certainly not. I wouldn't ask you to give away your super secret spy cover, but if you feel so inclined to take a picture, it'd be much appreciated, lol. I never make it out to Clackamas, but if I were to know there is a good source of music there, then that'd be worth the trip.

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #7 on:** February 29, 2008, 11:18:23 pm »

whoooooa.
FOR SERIOUS?
I must check it out.

laurifer · « **Reply #8 on:** March 01, 2008, 08:56:30 pm »

REPORT

Very small selection...it's behind the counter so I couldn't snap a picture cos the lady was watching me. I asked her if I can go around and look at the CDs but she insisted that I can point out what I wanted and she'd hand it to me tsk tsk so finicky D:< But yeah it's mostly Dir en Grey, Miyavi, Gackt, BoA, Utada, etc etc. Some anime/video game soundtracks as well (the only two I remember were FF and Samurai Champloo, I think)

neko_goes_nyaaa · « **Reply #9 on:** March 03, 2008, 04:49:33 pm »

The first time I went in there I annoyed the guy because I kept asking to see each cd. (Oooh, lemme see that one! Okay... now that one!) I dunno why they have them all behind the register anyway, unless maybe they're paranoid about people stealing them or something.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #10 on:** March 03, 2008, 07:12:21 pm »

Hmmm, meager selection it sounds like, but I still want to go check it out sometime. Seems like a better option than most record stores around here.

Gah! I'm so jealous! Eugene doesn't have place that cool.

superjaz · « **Reply #13 on:** June 27, 2008, 01:15:51 pm »

we go to uwajimaya's all the time for thier festivals
sad to say they dont have a gackt cd dvd album magazine that I dont already have, exept the one in seatle they have some platinum boxes that are too rich for my blood untill i gets a job,
oh and i want an older copy of mars then they carry, and i dont feel the need for every singal, usaly i they are somthing special like the gumdom one
you can find the stuff a little cheaper on yesasia.com

yup to that, i tend to treat my stuff as a collection given the cost of some of the things, tho i got a couple of the albums at a store in japan called book off and got a couple of 38$ albums for 15-20$
note I listen to burns of the music, call me crazey but i dont want to get the expencive cds scratched up,
if you decide to get some albums from kinokunya (say you have a job and plan on getting some things) there is a way to get the best value for your $$ they have a club card and you get a punch for every 10$ you spend after so much you get a 20% your next album, after that a free album and after that I think its another free album and a card good for 20% off you next 10 cd's you buy, the mebership card is only good for a year so it pays to wait save up and pick a year, and if you have friends buyin just one cd, see if they dont mind if you get their punch, its only good on music and some music related dvds

Ohhh I didn't know they had that lol. Well when I'm in Japan I'll be on the lookout for some sweet deals lol

I just went to the Clackamas Town Center website and tried to look up where in the mall is this place. but I did'nt see any location of the store. Is the name of the store really "Unique Imports" or is it something else?

vampirek_yaoi · « **Reply #24 on:** June 30, 2008, 07:29:04 am »

I wouldn't be able to tell you, but Kyuya Might since she went there already.

Okay, but that does'nt really answer my question of if this asian import store exists in Clackamas Town Center or if it's somewhere else.

superjaz · « **Reply #28 on:** July 01, 2008, 09:49:47 pm »

nor should it as i wasn't answering your question, as this is a thread about j-rock I thought people would like to know about another store that has some j-rock

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #29 on:** July 03, 2008, 02:23:00 am »

Unique Imports is on the Barnes and Nobles side, isn't it?

Hazuza · « **Reply #30 on:** July 03, 2008, 03:57:50 pm »

Yeah, it's just next Barnes and Noble.... I think. xD

On the map it's marked as 'Gifts from Afar' O-o; That's kinda odd.
