Preface
If you want to know my background and motivation, please read #1 article LA Record Shop Tour #1 - BuenaPark
Content
This time I would like to visit Torrance, which is known for its huge Japanese community in LA.
I know there are some excellent record stores around there and actually have visited a couple of times.
I would like to shoot the video to show how it looks like.
Store #4 - Boogie Maru Sounds
I know the fact that city pop from Japan has been getting popular among the world these days.
Therefore, I thought there might be some record shops to feature Japanese stuff a lot.
This store—Boogie Maru Sounds— is exactly that kind of store.
As you can see, if you are City pop fan or general Japanese music lover, this place is a must place to go.
But, what impressed me most was that there were so many vintace music gears like vintange turntables, speakers and open reel deck.
He was so kind that he let me in sound proof room and hear records instead of listening station.
The owner is apparently taking very care of the condition of records.
He even offered me to clean up the record using ultrasonic record cleaner before I purchased them.
I purchased a few of records including seawind 1st album. (I'm a big fan of seawind)
Store #5 - Record Recycler
Next, I visited a famous record store in southbay—Record Recycler.
