On the first day of the last month of the first half of 2025, I did indeed visit the Mandai Shoten in Kawagoe, Saitama! Did I buy a huge animation character bunny girl with molded genitalia? Did I take a chance to overpay for a PlayStation 5 game?

On a rainy May 30, 2025, I dashed around various places in Akihabara, Tokyo, including BEEP and the neighboring Surugaya! Here is a double shot describing some of the finds and buys at these places. I also almost slipped and fell comically.

Again I visited the Sunano mall branch of Surugaya in Koto ward of Tokyo on May 25, 2025. I thought it was in Toyosu all this time but oh well! You can get a complete boxed MSX cartridge for 1000 yen if you like golf! You can also overpay for AliExpress junk!

Oh, hello! On May 17, 2025, I went back to the little treasure of rarities that is the Hard Off store in Kuki, Saitama! Do you want to buy a $5000 Game Boy? How about a few old computers from Sega or NEC? Well go buy them here, why don't you?!

Another beautiful episode about another visit to the wonderful Surugaya in Utsunomiya, Tochigi! This time, on May 11, 2025, I bought 3060 yen of games which felt so good as 3000 yen purchases gives you 500 yen in discount AND free parking for 2 hours yesssssss

On May 5th of 2025, I could visit again the Koshigaya Minami branch of Hard Off in Koshigaya, Saitama! So much cheapness to be found in Nintendo cartridge games featuring grappling, and cheap Killing Time for 3DO!

On April 28, 2025, I visited the Book Market in Iwaki, Fukushima, which is supported by Surugaya. It is a nice little store and you can get AUDIO CDs. Also some 50 yen games.

On April 28, 2025, I visited the Hard Off store in the Taira section of Iwaki, Fukushima. It had some special nude software! Also someone made a Game Boy better.

The newest and worst Surugaya, located in the Higashimurayama AEON shopping mall in Tokyo, was visited on April 27, 2025! Very little to note other than TURB.
