Jamie and many of our favorite people are in Japan, but while they are gone, JapanLA is still open and just as great as ever to visit. Just the other day we got a whole bunch of new Sanrio stuff in and I'm here to report on just a few for now. If I can I'll post about the new 50th Anniversary items tomorrow Monday.
