Roughly what percentage of their stuff is Japanese import?

I would say about 30 to 40%

Oh, not bad. That's certainly much better than the 0% most game stores near me have.

Definitely a cool looking store. Has just the right balance of organized yet messy because it is a little too full.

That is literally the coolest thing I have seen ever. If I were ever to walk into that store, I may never leave. :O

If I won the lottery, I think that I would spend the following months buying up all kinds of game stuff just like that and start my own game store with my friends. I wouldn't care about making money because I would be filthy rich. I would just enjoy spending time around all those amazing games and systems and meeting people.

A fella can dream, right?

Pretty cool except that if you look at the 3rd picture, you'll see quite a few games with price stickers right on the front label.
