Default Japanese Video Store in VA/MD/DC?

Does anyone know if there is a store around the DC/VA/MD area that sells just Japanese videos like Option, etc...and Mags? I know places like Cali, New York and Florida have places like this, but was wondering about this...let me know!

There was a store or two in a NOVA Mall. It was the Springfield Mall. Nice place. Those two video stores also had figurines for sale.

There is a place called Starland which is supposed to be good, there are three locations. One in Centreville,VA 703-830-4265, Annandale,VA 703-648-0813, and Greenbelt, MD 301-313-0707. Or www.starlandvg.com. Apprently they carry what you are looking for, in addition they also have imported games. I hope this helps.

There's also a Japanese Grocery Market in Bethesda called DARUMA. They have a large video section for rentals.

I know they have recent Japanese movies and dorama, but I'm not sure about the car vids, since I didn't spend much time there when I went in...

Daruma Japan Market
6931 Arlington Road, Bethesda, MD 20814
Phone: (301) 654-8832

This sounds like a job for the Anime fans out there... of which I am one, but not a particularly up-to-date one.

Maybe try an email (or check websites) to your local College/University anime clubs. Most have 'em and will know where the local places are to get Japanese videos/books/etc.

also try: www.anipike.com

Jeff Initial D Volume 1 does not get released till Sept. 16th in English Version. So it might be hard to find now.

http://www.tokyopop.com

It looks like second Volume in October, but third Volume won't be till January.

BTW, Tokyopop videos are carried at some major chains:
Best Buy
Fry's Electronics Store
F.Y.E.
Hastings Store
Suncoast Store
Tower Records
Virgin Megastore
