Fukubukuro (lucky pack) season in Osaka

[mushomaru]

This may be a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight into buying lucky packs during New Years in Osaka (the Shinsaibashi area)? After some digging, I found some info about the Tokyo area, but nothing for Osaka yet. Any info would help.

Same as everywhere really. Just have the cash on hand (banks won't be open during the New Year's holiday) and go to the store morning of New Year's. You can check the store blogs online to figure out timing, and usually they will give a small description of the kinds of lucky packs you can buy and how much they are. You usually can only buy one of each kind of lucky pack.

Thanks for the bank tip, that's a good idea.

I've been twice (and going again this year

I'm in the area and have already visited the stores a couple of times, so getting there isn't a problem. So it sounds like things in Osaka are pretty civil, and they have enough LPs to go around? Also, would it be possible to hit multiple stores in one day, or is it just too crazy? I know there's a second-hand store down the hallway to the right of Angelic Pretty, if Maiden Clothing is another used store do you think you could tell me where it is? Sorry for all the questions, your information was very helpful. XD

Through all this too, I'm trying to decide whether to travel to Tokyo during New Year's to shop, or to just stay local in Osaka.

Oh good, that helps

I have a leaning for Metamorphose when it comes to brands, so I'll probably go there first, then Angelic Pretty and IW (it's more out of the way than the others, but oh well). I could go either way with Btssb and AATP, but it really depends on the prints. Thanks for the video, that line seems really managable
