Onejuku

[kareninsilver.livejournal.com]

um...i don't understand Japanese and I was looking at the Onejuku site, it seems that the store has several levels filled with lolita/gothic goodies. i might just be interpreting it incorrectly but this is the floor plan section and it looks like Onejuku is a department store. Can somebody clarify this? Thanks

It's a mall. The levels in malls tend to be themed fairly close together. Some have a music store on one level etc etc etc.
The malls are very virtual concidering the floor space needed.
I don't know this for sure having never gone to japan but I'm fairly certain from discriptions.
I could be wrong though. ^_^;;

Actually that's a department store called oione (pronounced "marui one") which is one of a chain of Marui dept stores (others are named OiCity, OiMen, Oiyoung, etc). It's located in Shinjuku and is one of the primary locations of gothic lolita clothing stores, including metamorphose, moi meme moitie, h. naoto, etc.

It rules. Especially when they have thier annual sales XD
