To Anonymous who was looking for a plain black bonnet in the Tokyo area. Closet Child now currently has one. It’s a Victorian Maiden Ophelia Doll bonnet in plain black (5,500 yen).  Feel free to email me at contact@tokyopirates.com if you would like me to purchase it for you. ^^

QuestionHello! I was wondering if you could take a look out for BTSSB's Sleeping Beauty onepiece (not the aurora one) in pink and post on this website if you see it? Thanks!Answer

Hello ^^ I’m sorry, but I get a lot of requests to look out for items, so I have started a wishlist system. For a one-time fee of 500 yen I can create a digital wishlist for you (kept on my tablet to refer to whilst shopping), and you can remove and add things as you like. You can email me at contact@tokyopirates.com for more details. However, please bear in mind it’s not a guarantee of finding your items, it merely increases your chances since I’ll be on the look-out while in Closet Child. I should mention though that it’s unlikely for BTSSB Sleeping Beauty items to come up in Closet Child. They are very rare and in demand. ^^ I have been on the lookout for the ivory JSK for another customer for months and still nothing.

QuestionDo you have any Lolita dresses that aren't used recently?Answer

Hello ^^

Do you mean my own items? I have some cancelled shopping service items including a brand new Melty Cream Donuts OP set in brown (barette and socks included) and some star shower socks in sax. I also have some Musee du Chocolat items, Dreamy Baby Room, Milky Planet and other new items which are available for sale here - http://egl-comm-sales.livejournal.com/22425711.html#

If that’s not what you mean, you can let me know. :)

QuestionWhat is your favourite thing to do whilst waiting in line for releases? What is the longest time you have waited? :)Answer

Haha, interesting question! xD Usually I space out and daydream, read a book, or study Japanese, but today was Midsummer’s release. It was a 2-hour wait and I was feeling very excited, so…I plugged into my music and funked out as discreetly as I could. It got one girl next to me dancing a bit too. That’s my favourite thing to do from now on. Silent disco. ;) If you’ve never been to one, you should go. They’re brilliant. You look ridiculous, but when you get into it, man it feels good.

The longest I have ever waited was for 4 hours. :( There was a delay on getting things started and various customers went missing, so it took forever. >.<

QuestionHi :) Hope you are having a nice day. I was wondering if you ever see Chantilly dresses (or skirts) at Closet Child? Thanks :)Answer

Hello ^^ I’m having a lovely albeit busy day, thank you! :D As for Chantilly skirts, I haven’t come across any I’m afraid, but then I haven’t been looking. Atelier Pierrot has a nice array though. (^_^)

QuestionI'm desperately trying to find AP's Strawberry Parlour OP, Milky Berry OP and/or Fruity Cafe OP - are there any hiding in Closet Child's hidden closet? Thank you ^w^Answer

I can’t say I’ve noticed them, but then I haven’t been looking for them. I’ll have a quick look next time I’m in there and put up another message here to let you know. ;)

QuestionDo you know when sweet cream house is re released?Answer

I’m not sure I’m afraid, but I reckon it will be the next release in line. My estimation is 2-3 weeks from now, so perhaps towards the end of November, beginning of December (30th November/7th December). Since they’ve had the delay with the Melty Cream Doughnuts one pieces though, I’m not sure if that will delay their schedule in general.

Please bear in mind, these are just my guesses and not confirmed information. :)

Questiondo you think that next year there will be another Alice and the Pirates Merry making in the ghost town jumper skirt released? i couldn't afford it this year and now it's sold out everywhere T_TAnswer

Hello (^_^)

Aw, I’m sorry to hear you missed out! o(TヘTo) I don’t know if they’ll do another release, but if they do, I reckon it’ll be at least a year until the next one. However, there are still a few dotting around the AP stores, and items are popping up in Closet Child now that Halloween is over, so all hope is not lost. If you want me to search for one, just drop me an email at contact@tokyopirates.com. If you let me know what you’re looking for, maybe I can find it for you. No guarantees, but it could be worth a try. :)

QuestionDo you have any idea what date and time Melty Cream Doughnut will be released on AP SF site?! Thanks <3Answer

Hello! I’m sorry, but I’m based in Japan, so I don’t keep up to date much with the AP SF site. I’m afraid I can’t give much estimation of when it would be released. I definitely recommend asking lolitas or services that use that site regularly. They might have a better idea of how long it usually takes between the original release and the SF release. (^_^)
