I know that there are shops in Japan that sell vocaloid off the shelf, but bare in mind most vocaloid copies are bought via the internet to begin with. This is why you can't just find them randomly on the shelves in walmart or ASDA or whatever your local supermarket is called. :-/

The shops that sell the software are music shops, which don't always tend to be that common even in Japan and are random outlets. I wouldn't expect to find Vocaloid as a physical copy in a store in a hurry, unless you're prepared to track down that 1 store in tokyo or whatever, for example, that has it. And honestly I wouldn't even know where to begin...

Vocaloid is often sold at the VoM@s or whatever its called.
