Dive into the vibrant world of music at Tower Records in Tokyo, one of the city's most iconic destinations for music lovers of all ages! This immersive event invites you to explore the legendary multi-story store, where every floor is a new universe of sound and discovery. Begin with a guided tour tracing Tower Records’ history—from its 1960s origins to its role in launching J-pop legends. Browse thousands of CDs, vinyl records, and exclusive Japanese releases, with staff ready to unearth hidden gems and rare pressings.
Participate in interactive workshops: try DJing on professional decks, remix tracks using Ableton, or design your own album cover with digital tools. For younger guests, music-themed scavenger hunts and rhythm games turn learning into play. Enjoy live performances on the in-store stage—up-and-coming indie bands, jazz trios, and idol groups—followed by Q&A sessions. Slip into soundproof listening booths to preview unreleased tracks or vintage jazz in perfect clarity.
Refuel at the Tower Records Café with artist-inspired snacks: "Bowie Bites," "Kyary Pamyu Pamyu Parfait," and matcha lattes served in record-shaped cups. As the day ends, meet guest musicians for autographs and photos. Whether you’re a lifelong collector or just curious, Tower Records Deep Dive is a celebration of music’s universal language—connection, creativity, and joy in the heart of Tokyo.
