Japan Game Junk

Have you ever been to the Chuo Rinkan Rinkan Mall (not a typo) branch of Hard Off, located in Yamato, Kanagawa? I have several times, the most recent one being on February 23, 2025! It has so many nude discs, either without manual, or having contents with nudity! Also multiple junk color Super Note Clubs!

On February 23, 2025, I went to south Kanagawa and visited the Yonnomiya branch of Hard Off in Hiratsuka! So much boxed MSX and a value pack of busted PS2 Slims!

On February 10th, 2025, I visited the brand new Soka, Saitama branch of Hard Off! It didn't have many good deals! Were you one of the two young foreign women I saw there making some bad purchases?

It's the Hard Off in Sugito town, Saitama, as visited on the 10th of February, 2025! There were a lot of old people! I bought a Mega Man ripoff sequel of a sequel that was actually released outside Japan!

Visited on February 10, 2025, it is another visit to the Hard Off store above a Conan home center near the Keiba Funabashi interchange! After owning Breath of the Wild and selling after a week of release, I picked it up again! Also, it has an ugly green MSX mouse!

On February 3, 2025, I took a return visit to the Ono Hard Off store in Ichikawa, Chiba. I wanted to check on the continued existence of a new Nintendo 64 DD and its existence has continued! You can also meet Marty and get some cheap Mega Driving!

From this store you can see Mount Fuji and in the store you can see old games! This is the Fujimino, Saitama Hard Off as visited on February 24! I also decided to make an intro and add some chiptune music I made as a bed for the track.

A visit on January 20, 2025 to a combination Hard Off/Book Off/Daiso in Kamagaya city of Chiba! It has a n MSX game with days on cartridge and cassette tape in the same box! it has the cheapest ever PSVR2! I bought dried marshmallows!

Visited on December 13, 2025, this is a kind-of OK Hard Off in Kodaira, Tokyo! It has a plentiful selection of retro games and I helped myself to a couple of them. I look forward to hop, magically!

The wonderful world of Surugaya is again explored, this time on January 13, 2024 in Tachikawa, Tokyo! Parking is expensive so you can park at the IKEA or take the monorail! Do you prefer your CAL III naked or with the manual and case insert for a mere 20 yen more?

Hey, a new place for rarities! This is the Book Off PLUS in Tokorozawa, Saitama as visited on January 4, 2025. You always wanted a $2000+ Game Boy, didn't you?

The first visit of 2025, this is the Hard Off store in Kazo, Saitama! I have found treasures there in the past but now they are heavy in Famicom Disk System stuff that mostly doesn't work. Also what is the NEC mystery cartridge?

Visited on December 29, 2024, this is the kind of OK Surugaya store in Takasaki, Gunma! It has the final Final Fantasy as a high price! I purchase a game that 75% works!

Part of the second biggest Off super conglomeration, visited on December 29, 2024, this is the Hard Off Nishi Kawada branch in Utsunomiya, Tochigi! Lots of fun stuff and many Draculas! Next door you can get your car speaker stuff or whatever!

Visited on December 28, 2024, this is the Hanada Hard Off store in Koshigaya, Saitama! I ended up not buying anything and why is the PSP so expensive?

The last podcast of the year describes a visit to the Furuhon Ichiba in Adachi Ward, Tokyo, where I bought two items on December 23, 2024! You can also get the cheapest working? Switch ever and Vita up your season!

Yet another store visited on December 22, 2024, this one being the Hard Off in Hamura, Tokyo! I took advantage of coupons, and then took advantage of the best Mexican food chain in Japan!

Wonder and joy as I took advantage of strongly discounted rarities while sadly not partaking in others! This is the Zest store in Sagamihara and well worth a visit as I had on December 22, 2024. I have found treasures on most of my visits over the years, and even if not, they still have a Dangan Ronpa vending machine to enjoy!

Hello and a Merry Christmas to all Junkers! This episode describes a visit to the Wada branch of Hard Off in Tama, Tokyo, as visited on December 22, 2024. Maybe you absolutely MUST have the obi strip for the Serial Experiments Lain game for PlayStation?

Visiting a new Surugaya in an old haunt, this is the store in Hitachinaka, Ibaraki, in the Fashion Cruise shopping center. On December 9, 2024, there were rarities and junk and I bought a game due to wistfulness.

Visited on December 2, 2024, this is actually not a gaming store! This is the outlet branch of Village Vanguard, a nationwide chain that sells curiosities, collectibles, and knick-knacks. Among them are video game related curiosities, collectibles, and knick-knacks. Super-duper cheap!

A fallen giant was visited on December 1, 2024, as I visited a decades-old favorite of mine, the WonderGoo store in Tsukuba, Ibaraki. Formerly one of Japan's greatest bastions of game retail, the internet has changed it to the desperate scramble for relevance I find today. Still, it is improved from a few years ago, and it sells my favorite modern accessory for a vintage system.

New mic, sound better? This is a chronicle of a visit to the Moro branch of Hard Off located in Isesaki, Gunma, as visited on November 23, 2024. Do you want a brand new and sealed Cassette Vision and a busted console to go with it? Do you want someone's old magazine cover disc collection? Well, maybe go here why don't you!

On November 18, 2024, the beautiful Hard Off Soka Bypass store in Soka/Koshigaya of Saitama was well checked. Do you like Tamagotchi? How about so many DVDs you cannot hold them in one hand for 500 yen? How about a Nintendo 64 game with a printer port? I mean it is surely worth the approximate salary for an average week of full time work?

Hey, it is not a Hard Off! Visiting the Adachi ward of Tokyo for 20% off everything, it's the Enterking! Do you like weird old portable systems by cram schools? Do you like very busty girl figures with or without jointed joints? This is your wonderland!
