日光から戻りました。久しぶり（大袈裟）のメールにネット、そして青山ブックセンターの閉店ニュースを読んでビックリ。かなりショック。

We came back from Nikko, I've checked email and the internet. I was so surprised about the news that Aoyama Book Center (ABC) shut up all seven branch stores today. Actually I'm very shocked. They had a great selection of art books and international magazines (and the Roppongi branch was opened till 5:30am on weekdays!).

はじめまして！ちょっと前にこちらのサイトに出会いました。とってもステキです。青山ブックセンターの閉店ニュース、私もショックです。今朝こちらでこのニュースを知り、早速自分のブログにも書かせて頂きました。青山に行ったら必ず立ち寄っていたあの場所ももう無いのかと思うと寂しいですね・・。

I just went to the my favourite barber in Jiyugaoka to cut what is left. Next to the barber is the Aoyama Book Center which was also closed. A sign told me that it is closed for rennovation. Is this is a polite way for saying "shut down forever"? It reminds me of sport shops when I ask for something and it is not there. I am always told many to come back next week, which I did the first few times. But never ever something turns up. I will try the same when I have to shut down some of the service centers of my company.

It reminds me of my story, when I bought eye glasses in London. I wasn't happy the way they put lenses, and asked them to redo it. The next time I went to the shop, it was shut down! But I managed to have money back from their Japanese branch.

カナシイお知らせから5週間ちょいたちましたが、青山ブックセンターの東京・青山本店と六本木店が、９月２９日に営業を再開する事になりました。ヨカッタ！

It's been five weeks, and we got a good news now. Aoyama Book Center (only Aoyama and Roppongi branches) will come back on 29 September 2004!! It seems like they employ the same people. Good one!
