I just watched this again. It's a shames it has so few views. I love the idea and every song was excellent. I picked up that Ike and Tina record by the way.

Acoustic Grove System diffusers everywhere🥳😊

Glad to see you with a nice plug on the Fremer video.

I liked piano on YG setup.

looks like a dcent shop.

What a great idea. I wonder if there is something similar for Canada.

Would love to attend one of these events. I’m not really an audiophile but I’m fascinated by the passion people have for music and sound. Great video.

YG did a demo years ago in the concert hall. Band played first and then a carbon copy of that performance was played back via their speakers/system. Point of it was, if the audience could tell the difference between live and recorded performance. I don’t have a link but I’m sure it can still be found somewhere on YT.

Great website! That looks very helpful.

Japan does so many interesting things that you really don’t see anywhere else….very cool Michael!

Nice soundtrack with the Messy Marv

I think it needs a blu ray release

Wow, what an awesome site… Hooray for community contributions. as for the business succession section… I think that would be really useful for vinyl cafés as well

Hooray Okayama namecheck, really glad I got to meet you at that record fair and even more glad we had a wonderful afternoon in my kura together

Although still a work-in-progress, Recoya proved to be helpful during my month long travels across Japan earlier this summer. Very helpful resource for record (and record store) hunters. Thanks for the explainer, you digger you!

Nice vid, Michael. Recoya is a nice resource for sure. Salute to there person who had compiled all the information and to you for promoting it. By the way, don’t quote me on it but it might be pronounced “Reco - Ya” as is “レコー屋”, meaning “Record + Shop” like 八百屋 “Yaoya” (vegetable + shop) or 米屋 (rice + shop), and a little like “Recofan” :-)

I'm not an audiophile yet found this very interesting. 😊 thanks for the video.

Some lovely bits of kit there vmate. Shame my ears are too knackered to fully appreciate the sound quality. Did anything really catch your ear sand eyes? Gotta say they had some weird looking speakers on some of them,

'Up all night..with Freddie King. I got to tell you, poker's his thang.'

What's the difference between an accordion and an onion? I like the Freya Ridings song. Reminds me of Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter, whom I love.

Thanks for sharing, Michael

Great stuff, Ricey. Super efficient and expensive stuff. I can dream can't I? The Accuphase A-300 is the power to get if you listen to modern classical recordings, especially smaller chamber group stuff, or 'acoustic ' jazz. And then everything else.

Wow. Hard to believe shops are selling VHS tapes. I think the last VHS machine production in Japan stopped a few years ago? So interesting to see how the style of merchandising varies from shop to shop.

Wow some gear. Was that a Accuphase phono stage in the ortofon room as well? Amazing eye candy in all rooms. Whilst I listen to all types of music most of the music choices were traditional conservative safe choices to show off gear.

"Audio show"? You can't show audio! You hear audio! When will these people learn anything! With that said, feel free to send me one of those turntables. I promise not to complain when you do, provided that you do a good job of packaging it.

Watching this I realize how little I know about Audio

Esoteric gear looked chic 👍

A man can dream.. right? Amazing engineering and precision.

One thing I have noticed with these stores is that they seem to take a lot of care with what they have, even if it's not particularly rare. I dunno if the thrift stores are the same but all to often i have gone ito places and stuff is just wedegd into boxes so tightly that you can't even go through them properly. again, a lot of stuff here I've never heard of but no less interesting. Keep em coming.

Thanks for the tour. NAT Records is on the top of my list of (6) Shinjuku stores to visit in a couple weeks.

Not my stuff. Still, it's a cool store.

Cowboys 🤠 International were great 👍 ! Very early Post-Punk band. Pointy Shoes a classic track.

Nice tour Michael. Well I recognized about seven bands out of all those 😁😁. Cheers.

They got some good stuff ion that store. Not much I've actually listened to, but some class rock and metal bands in that lot.

Thanks so much for posting this! “Mr Odinga the actor Tom M’Boya (Thomas F Moore) is my father

Not much I'm familiar with but that Black lips shaped disc looked ace.

awesome song

hang on, i'm 0:02 seconds into this video and I see a Who bin!!! I translated the Japanese chatter into 'why gaijin not frilming Who bin, what wong with him'? Although happy to get big price shots this time. I have never seen that Souvenir bootleg but I wouldn't pay £30 for it either! I wonder what the sound quality is like. Who-la-hoop...why? I bet Roy Wood would be interested to know he's selling for £80 wow!

Enjoying the new multi screen look, works well

I had planned to visit this store in 3 weeks time, so thank you very much for the feature. Nathan from @JayJayTokyo suggested your channel for me.

So were you able to complete your collection of Kiss comics?

There's less than a hand full of these artists I know and less than that I've listened to. Looks like a cool shop though.

I love those MuslimGauze records.

Could never really get into most Jazz, Stuff like Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald and the like probably appealed to me more than anything else. Maybe Glen Miller to some extent, Louis Armstring is probably my favourite,

Never really got in to punk apart from what i heard in the UK charts. Maybe at 7 i was a bit too young to really appreciate it, Looks like they had a fine selection in there though.

Did you buy anything? If yes will you do a video showing what you bought? Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

Man, a lot of the stuff from Oldies But Goodies looks fabulous. Interesting to see all of the comedy albums. Man, those used to be a thing. I remember listening to Brother Dave Gardner and Shelley Berman albums over and over.

Wow to find such a large source of one type of music is amazing and the chap definitely knows his stuff. It wa slike entering a time capsule. Those first Elvis recordings are a sight to be hold and whilst not a fan ,they would take prode of place on any collection. Thank you Michael.
