Youkai Watch 2 (3DS, Level-5) was just released in Japan and people lined up to buy the game.
http://www.famitsu.com/news/201407/10056915.html
Released on a Thursday so a lot of people were busy with school and work, most big games are released on Saturdays for that reason.
Also, the Youkai Watch strategy guide sold more than 500k copies, joining the big league of:
1. Animal Crossing New Leaf - 730k
2. Pokémon Black White - 691k
3. Pokémon Black White - 595k
4. Dragon Quest IX - 508k
5. Youkai Watch - 505k

Around 10 people were lining 30 minutes before the shop's opening in front Bic Camera in Ikebukuro. The shop opens today at 9:00 (usually at 10:00)
Yodobashi Shinjuku
You can get a copy of the game ONLY if you preordered it.
For Genso version is before June 4th, for Honke is before May 17. If you want to buy today the game you will be put into a waiting list
Sofmap (both Shinjuku and Ikebukuro)
The game is available, but only one copy for person (so I presume you cannot buy both versions).
I also visited Bic Camera (Biqlo) but there were any problems about stock, but I think this is not one of the main shops people we'll go to buy YW2.
Some other pictures for people not living in Japan, so you can try to imagine how big has become YW in Japan in the last 9 months:
Beside the new title, there was a massive promotion for the DVD which will be released in the next autumn (Bic Camera Shinjuku).
Gadgets are everywhere... (Yodobashi Shinjuku)
And don't forget to buy your beloved medals and cards! (Sofmap Ikebukuro)
