Hello,

I'm currently going to Japan for some holidays. i'm a big Jackson fan and a collector. I love LP's, 7'', 12'' and merchandising too.
About Michael, but also the whole Jackson family.

I was wondering if somebody here knows great shops in Tokyo, or Kyoto, Or Hiroshima where i will be able to find lot of Jackson stuff to buy?
Some great collector record shops there?

Also anything else to do or see in relation with the Jacksons in Japan ?

best regards and thank you in advance for your help !!!

Chris
 
i'm not much help for specifics, but i've been to Tokyo and knew beforehand just how good a taste our Japanese friends have in music but was still blown away with their love for soul, funk and jazz.

their record shops are everywhere (there are dozens of HMVs and Virgin stores that also have rarities) but the genre-specialised shops are more interesting, though the only one i remember the name of (still have the bag) is NYC Records in Shibuya - great part of Tokyo, and there are a dozen other great stores in the same vicinity.

NYC Records had so much old-school Jacksons material i probably spent about an hour and a half there checking them out. v expensive though as with all-things Tokyo.

but i'm sure there are many more shops with similar or maybe even better collections.

got a spare plane ticket?
