Anybody been to Tokyo lately? I've heard that the big 7 story Shibuya Tower store closed down a few months ago. The Shinjuku store is still reportedly around. Can anyone confirm that the Shibuya store is
closed? Is Tower Japan going the way of Tower USA and Borders?

Haven't been to Tokyo for 10 years or so but, at least then, Tower in Shibuya and Shinjuku seemed much better and comprehensive than the HMV. There also is/was a store in Akihabara (electronics section) called LAOX that had a fair amount of Japanese non-
authorized items on the 3rd or 4th floor but all the offerings were on shelves showing only the spine of case....which was a challenge for those of us who do not know the language. (As I recall, Laox had several buildings in the area but the one in mind
was off on a side-street. Yamano still around? (I know Wave is long-gone.) All of this is probably woefully out-of-date so any new reviews/input on what's still around would be appreciated; might save me a trip.
