I love the smaller stores in quiet areas. That YMO record with a toothbrush was a steal for that price.

I always wanted to visit Japan.. I've always been impressed with the Japanese folks that I met..

These videos are so good that dave the pickup artist will leave an actual comment on them.

Hi Mike....I love the creepy scratchy plastic sounds...reminds me of Classic Japanese Horror video games of 30 years ago!!

Great video man. I really love these smalltown record stores. I think I could easily find some good stuff in these 3. Thanks so much for sharing.

Thanks for your continued research into unique record stores. I wouldn’t mind visiting shops like Replace Records. Commuter train transportation makes the difference and thanks for the end of the vid where upcoming stops are announced in English. The last time I was in Japan I remember renting a “pocket WiFi” to use Google Maps that I put in my backpack. We’ll try using the light rail more on our next trip.
In Japan, do they celebrate Record Store Day like in the States? Thanks again for sharing your adventures 👍
