Thanks a lot for the support!

Hi! Danke für den netten Kommentar! Manhatten Records ist eigentlich DER Spezial-Laden für Hiphop. Allerdings würde ich sagen findest du da recht viel neue Releases und auch relativ hochpreisig soweit ich mich erinnere. HMV und Disk Union sind eigentlich immer sehr gut sortiert und haben einen großen Hiphop Bereich. Da findet man auch mehr gebrauchte Sachen und z.B. alte 12inch Singles und so. Viel Spaß in Japan! :)

@@JayDeLarge ich Danke Dir vielmals.

maybe 😅🥸

What a coincidental convergence of worlds - I've bought parts from you guys twice. Love me some vintage Sonor (got a phonic kit :D) and I'm also headed to Japan soon because I love the music culture there

@@RaphHwang Yes, I remember your name. I suspected that the algorithm might recommend my music channel, to people who follow stdrums some day. But maybe in your case it was just a very cool overlap of interests 😁 enjoy your time in Japan! I dream about going back a lot 😅 I absolutely recommend Ochanomizu in tokyo - both for music stores and record stores!

@@JayDeLarge definitely gonna be hitting up all the cool drum shops over there and playing their Sonor stock (we don't have much of that in Australia). Hopefully I'll get to see some of their JDM stuff too. But no buying because I'm spending that on seeing as many gigs there as I can afford to 😁

@@RaphHwang Sounds like an awesome trip! Please recommend us to the drum shops if you can😁😅

I don't know much about 90s japanese music, but I am 100% sure will find some of their music in these stores. Also towerrecords in Shibuya has lots of japanese CDs

absolutely! I also love central tokyo! It is so huge you can always discover new places and the city is changing all the time. I can't wait till I can go back :)

thanks! In the description box you can find a link to my bandcamp with all the songs from the video. this one is called "DenDen Town"

I had to google "content corner" 😅 but yeah! this spot is really awesome. it's very central in shibuya and there are lots of cool stores nearby

thanks a lot for the nice comment! I would love to make some videos about shops in germany too, but at the moment it's very tough for me to find the time. I hope it will be possible in the future though

Etwas von Beatles und Stones wirst du wahrscheinlich in jedem dieser Läden finden aber ich würde zuerstmal zu Disk Union gehen (2. 3. Stock in dem Laden im Video). Neben dem Disk Union in Shibuya kann ich auch Shinjuku und Ochanomizu sehr empfehlen, falls du in der Gegend bist :)

thanks for the comment! it depends on the shop, if you ask nicely they will let you look. but in my experience not every store there is ok with just opening the records on your own

Saved to a new playlist for when I visit Japan hopefully next year...

@@johnedwardkerr7814 Thanks a lot for the nice feedback and the subscription! I hope I'll be able to make more record store videos like that in the future 😁

In the description you can find a link to all of the songs on bandcamp. The one you ask for is actually the first one in the playlist. it's called "Showa-Jidai" :)

Hey, I saw your order, thanks for being so interested in my records! I will write you a personal email ;)

@@JayDeLarge do you have my email-adress?

@@vincentkonrad557 yes from the vinyl order

It's called Loopy or Loopy HD. I think it should run on all apple devices. In this case it was an iPod Touch, but I don't own that one. I usually use another loopstation.

I think it depends on the customs office of your home country. In the EU there is a certain amount that the stuff that you bring into the country can have combined. For everything above that you would have to pay taxes at the customs counter I think. but I never had to pay there so I don't know how much the limit is and how much taxes you would have to pay. I didn't bring that many records, and also I send some records back to my home address with a parcel service, so I didn't carry all of them with me when I entered the country. If somebody else has more details or personal experiences it would be interesting if they could be shared here :)

Hi thanks for the comment! For more current japanese music I would definitely go to the large tower records store in shibuya. They got more CDs than vinyl, but they got all the current stuff and they are very helpful, if you ask the staff. If you type "tower records shibuya" on google maps you will find it, it's not far from the station

Thanks for the comment! Yes that would be cool to see some footage of the early 2000s form the stores back then. I heared there used to be way more stores in the late 90s and early 2000s compared to today. I am not really aware of Babylon Records in shibuya today, so it might have closed... but also I don't claim to know all of the stores :)

thanks for the comment! I am so glad I had the possibiliy to film this video before the pandemic. But it's sad aswell, especially for such a great shop as recofan! I hope after the pandemic I will be able to make more record store videos like that in other places too

@@JayDeLarge Yes sir, I found great stores in Osaka and Kyoto too. All the best with your plans!

@@soulatwork absolutely! I love mint records in Osaka, but in total I've spent more time in Tokyo, but lets see what the future will bring ;) thanks a lot!

I havent noticed any static noise from it yet fortunately. But I hope you will find a solution. Did you contact bihari yet?

I got a Boss RC505 loopstation that is not visible in the picture. But I don't use my hands to record the loops: I have a midi footcontroller hooked up to start and stop recordings. For that I use a modded Behringer FCB1010 with a special chip called FCB505 which lets you use the foot controller with the RC505 without much programming.
