RE: (313) Japanese site
Last time I was there it seemed Cisco had shut, I use to think Disc Union was the best store Ive ever been in but recently they moved the Shibuya store around and now the techno/ house is on the 3rd floor which is much smaller and indie/rock/metal is where the techno use to beshamebut Haqq's artwork was still there. Because of this I felt on my last visit that Disk Union Shimokitazawa was a better site. Shimokitazawa has lots of cool vintage stores and record stores, you must check out city country city its a record store in a cafésmall but ace vinyl section. http://blog.cdandlp.com/2011/02/city-country-city-record-shop-in-tokyo.html If you have time check out Kyoto its 3 hours (I think) on the bullet train from Tokyo, its so so cool. -Original Message- From: Patrick Wacher [mailto:pwac...@gmail.com] Sent: 28 August 2012 16:41 To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) Japanese site I 2nd Mel's suggestion.

Re: (313) Japanese site
Speaking of foreigners travelling in Japan, getting a JR pass is good value for money in my opinion if you intend to travel a lot. http://www.501places.com/2011/10/japan-rail-pass-a-good-purchase-that-could-be-a-lot-better/ http://www.japanrailpass.net/eng/en003.html On Thu, Aug 30, 2012 at 3:38 PM, Paul Kendrick p...@dagmar-tara.com wrote: Last time I was there it seemed Cisco had shut, I use to think Disc Union was the best store Ive ever been in but recently they moved the Shibuya store around and now the techno/ house is on the 3rd floor which is much smaller and indie/rock/metal is where the techno use to beshamebut Haqq's artwork was still there.

Re: RE: (313) Japanese site
The Disk Union store for electronic/hiphop is located in Shinjuku, close to McDonalds at the East Exit. They have a nice Detroit/Chicago selection there. Mostly house records. What I can highly recommend is Technique Online Store in Shibuya (200 m from the famous crossroad). They have a lot of second hand vinyls, a great Detroit selection and lots of bargains! Bought a lot of records there recently :) Lighthouse Records is not far from Technique (just across the main street). Their stock is a bit smaller but nice finds nevertheless. The weirdest record store I've been yet is Discland Jaro (Shibuya). It's a basement room in a small side street. VERY tiny (2x2 meters) and packed with records to the ceiling. They are specialized on Jazz and Soul records, but have insane prices ($300 in average for a record). In Kyoto I could not find any record stores for electronic music. I think Osaka is a better place.
