6 Shops in Akihabara Where You Can Buy Doujin Music CDs [M3/Comiket]

What comes to mind when you think of doujin?
Many people would probably say "thin books (doujinshi)," but there are actually doujin in the music genre as well!
A wide variety of things are created every day, from derivative works such as "Touhou" and "Kantai Collection" to original works.
The works will then be distributed at Comiket and M3!

However, there are times when you can't attend an event due to location or schedule constraints.
Doujin shops are very useful in such situations.
So this time, I'll be introducing some Akihabara stores that sell consignment items, used doujin music, arranged CDs, and more!

Akihabara Doujin Music CD Stores List

So, I've introduced you to stores that sell doujin music CDs, but there's one thing I really want to tell you all.

With the exception of major circles, doujin works are produced in small quantities, and once they run out of stock, it is difficult to expect them to be reprinted.
Especially with second-hand items, it's not uncommon to see them in a store during the day, then return in the evening to find that they've already been sold.

In other words, doujin works are a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so if you find one you like, make an immediate decision to buy it.
When you find it, it's time to buy!

Have a good doujin life!
