A used vinyl records and cds specialty shop, HMV record shop shibuya will open in udagawacho, shibuya on August 2nd. It is said that they will sell about 80,000 used records and cds bought from abroad in the space of 500 square meter. It is the site of a record shop DMR (Dance Music Records, a record shop since 90's).
Udagawacho was called "The record village" or "The sanctuary of record shops" before. From later 90's to early 00's, about 50~60 record shops crowded together, Kids who was digging with a lot of bags of record shops took strides. If you watch PV of Darthreider "Cisco-zaka", you can understand a part of enthusiasm at that time.
