If you are into Japanese Citypop, you NEED to visit this place. This is an amazing Japanese-owned indie record store, specializing in Japanese pressings of famous albums, high quality turntables, and casettes. I had no idea such a hidden gem existed in Torrance, but I'm glad it...Read More

Outstanding selection of rare pressings of popular albums from both Japan and the west. Friendly owners, very much a mom-and-pop record store. Great 80s-90s JPop selection.

My favorite store hands down. While I’m not into city pop, I do love the odd gems that I have come across here. The prices are very fair and there are some solid deals to be had.

Nice owner with high quality records. I mainly bought used ones because of price point, but if I was looking for specific records that were in really good condition then I’d come here.
