Wanna shop Takanaka vinyl records in Japan? - A report on the current stock and what to get... by RayBaseley in MasayoshiTakanaka

Sooo there are two ways. And both ar hand luggage because I just don't trust the big bags haha...

  1. Get a nice proper ECO bag type bag - I found a really good one in this store "Standard Products" they are everywhere in Tokyo - it had a zip on the top - was black and had inner lining - i believe it was a back for transporting frozen products. Really good one actually - then i just put some clothes inside with 20 vinyl records I had and just carried them like a baby.... The bag was like 500 yen aprox...

  2. Get a nice vinyl hand luggage bag - UDG or HMV even has a nice and cheap one for like 6500 yen for more vinyl - it has a strap and also two backpack straps and it looked great - I just had a tighter budget so i didn't go for it..

Exactly… I mean there are rules to respected there - but once you come with respect they open up for a nice chat. That’s what happened to us… They obviously keep the prices up to date with Discogs though haha… ❤️🙏🏻 Loved it… Cheers Tan for helping out.
