RE: [microsound] Going to Tokyo

[okahart <okahart@xxxxxxx>]

There is also a great shop in the area called JNR. Same side of the street
as Rough Trade. There are many more, but I have no idea how to tell you how
to get there. Kurahara(or Kurara?) in Shibuya is AMAZING, Onsa in
shimokitazawa, Alchemy Music store
http://www.kt.rim.or.jp/%7Ejojo_h/p_ams/ams_main.html , even the 7 story
Tower Records in Shibuya has a decent electro-ambient-micro-experimental-la
la la section.

JNR and Los Apson are hard to find because they are basically in office
buildings and you can not see them from the street. try looking at the mail
boxes in the entry way of the building. The building entrance for Los Apson
is around the corner from the main street. If you are daring, look for hip
people with record bags, point to yourself and say "los apson?", or try "los
apson doko?"....and smile....

as previously mentioned, expect to pay top dollar.
