In response to both the global and domestic swells of the popularity of J-pop, the renewal of the store includes a massive ramp-up of its selections by expanding its inventory of J-pop vinyls, both new and used, on its specialized floor "TOWER VINYL," dedicated entirely to analog records, already boasting a selection of more than 100,000 titles.

The store will also launch a brand new feature on the same floor, "TOWER RECORDS BEER," -- a space where visitors can enjoy craft beer while they immerse themselves into their favorite music, providing an experience that blends music culture and lifestyles, precisely what the company is so well known for.

The Anime & Games area, known to customers for its extensive collection of globally-known works and series, will also be expanded significantly to better serve international visitors with a wider range of products.

The 1st floor that any and every customer steps foot in when visiting the store will be redesigned completely, all the way from the famous eye-catching entrance to the cashiers located at the back of the sales floor, to continue serving music fans as the hottest spot for discovering the latest music trends.
