Buying Music

Postby lazysunday » November 9th, 2007 8:00 pm

How would I ask where to find so and so's CD in a music store.

would it be

_______ no shi dee wa doko desu ka?

forgive my not taking the time to grab the kana I haven't figured out how to do it without copy and paste yet.

i think that's pretty much it. i'm not sure if there's a more defined way of saying it...

あゆみの シディわ どこに?

this is a slightly more casual way of asking... for ayumi's CD.
ayumi no shidi wa doko ni?

I would ask these ways:

1) 倖田來未のCDを探してるんですが…
koda kumi no cd o sagashiteru n desu ga.
i'm looking for koda kumi's cd's, (but i can't find it. can you help me?)
2) 倖田來未の新しいCDを探してるんですが…
koda kumi no atarashii cd o sagashiteru n desu ga.
i'm looking for koda kumi's new cd, (but i can't find it. can you help me?)
3) 倖田來未のフリーキーというCDをさがしてるんですが…
koda kumi no "freaky" to iu cd o sagashiteru n desu ga.
i'm looking koda kumi's cd called "freaky," (but i can't find it. can you help me?)

i think these are the most polite and natural ways to ask.
the shop clerk will take you right there.

but for ease, the ________はどこですか?construction won't fail you! 8)

ps. keep in mind, if you're looking for a non-japanese artist, you'll be best off if you use a katakana-ized version of the name.
ねぇ、ねぇ、私前にバンドキャンプでさ…
