After his initial trip to Tower Records in Tokyo Japan, my brother made his way back there. Partially because he was going to grab a few more things, and also to take a whole bunch of photos.
I talked a little about the place the other day, but without the visual aspect to go along with it, I could only speculate that this was the type of place I could spend hours in. After now seeing everything, I take it back. I could spend the whole day there.
With eight floors, there's a ton of stuff to look through, and a lot of potential things to buy.
FLOOR NUMBER 1 - NEW RELEASES & RECOMMENDS
FLOOR NUMBER 2 - TOWER RECORDS CAFE
Apparently the café was closed.
FLOOR NUMBER 3 - J-POP, J-INDIE, J-HIPHOP, CITY POP
FLOOR NUMBER 4 - GAME MUSIC, VOCALOID, VTUBER
FLOOR NUMBER 5 - K-POP, EVENT VENUE
FLOOR NUMBER 6 - TOWER VINYL
FLOOR NUMBER 7 - ROCK, HR / HM, SOUL, HIPHOP, CLUB, JAZZ, WORLD, REGGAE, BLUES / COUNTRY, NEW AGE, SOUNDTRACK, MOVIE
The majority of my time would be spent on this floor.
FLOOR NUMBER 8 - CLASSICAL
In addition to this massive store, he found two other smaller Tower shops around Japan. I don't have a photo of both of the other locations, but I do have one.
Much like the above larger store, I could spend a lot of time (and money) here.

Wow. Just wow. I remember going into the Tower Records in Korea. Same thing. The last Tower Records I went into was in Seattle. Such a shame music stores are gone now for the most part. Would you get on a plane to visit this place? I would be tempted.
