As the Royalist said, diggin in Japan was fucking ballistic! Price and Variety was second to no-where in the world the only thing really holding us back was time. I snatched up some dope Lp's and Japanese only 12" pressings with alternative covers. The HipHop was cheap and plentyful tho that being said most of the wax I picked up can be found online all year round. The soul and funk selection was equally good tho the price wasn't quite as nice. I was aware of the price jumping a few years ago due to the large amount of diggers hittin up the spots but yeah I dug me some raer gems for a ridiculous price. My shit was def the prog rock, European and Japanese.. I had to dig a little harder through the colossal amount of 70's rock they had on offer but came out on top. Heres some of the HipHop I scored.
Tokyo city is massive and to visit every record store in a week would be impossible. One of the music store chains Disk Union had 6 stores in the Shinkjuku district. Here is a flyer with the locations.
Despite the locals insisting that Tokyo's record game has 'fallen off' im already thinking about my next Tokyo invasion....
