Kinokuniya Bookstore (1073 Ave of the Americas) has got one heck of a holiday gift for you. A free trip to Japan. From now until December 19th, Kinokuniya Bookstore in NYC and American Airlines are raffling off one trip from anywhere in the continental USA to Tokyo. How do you enter? Just visit Kinokuniya Bookstore in Bryant Park to sign up.

The winner will be revealed at 5 PM on the 19th as part of the Kinokuniya and Samurai Beat Radio “J-Pop Christmas”. Begnning at 1 PM on the 19th, Samurai Beat Radio will be playing a selection of the top-rated J-Pop songs as picked by Tokyo FM. Fans will be able to vote for their favorites, with their picks broadcast on samuraibeatradio.com. And, as I just said, the J-Pop Christmas will come to a close with the drawing of the free trip to Tokyo… as well as a number of other prizes.

Any small print? The top prize is a single round trip coach class airfare to Japan, valid until August 31st, 2010. You don’t need to be present on the 19th to win, so enter any time you’re at Kinokuniya from now until then.

Also, when you hit up Kinokuniya, be sure to check out their Domo Christmas Tree. Oh yes, I said Domo Christmas Tree. Curious? Well, now you gotta go to Kinokuniya to get a glimpse for yourself!
