Okay, so I've been on a business trip to Japan (university stuff), but I did manage to squeeze in some record shopping. See what cool records, CDs, and even a cassette tape I picked up at Disk Union (in Tokyo and Osaka), Tower Records (Tokyo), Toritsukasei No Bookmart (Tokyo), and Record Jungle (Kanazawa). Note there's no footage from the record shops as I don't like filming in public, so you have to go and pay them a visit yourself if you want to check them out.

Apologies for the uneven sound quality and lighting. I shot this video at different hotel rooms on my iPhone. Oh well. Take it or leave it, I guess.

The music in the intro and outro is taken from Grimmthurs' "Morgengry".
