More than 65,000 classical LPs and CDs online
Tokyo is thought to have more record shops (93) than any city on the planet, though London (89) and Berlin (87) run it a close second and third, respectively – read in more detail here at mixmag.net. These statistics were, admittedly, coalated pre-Covid and though the numbers may have changed, it is likely that Tokyo still ranks supreme.

2023 marks Record City’s 30th anniversary. Its stock count is currently 721,183 items, of which 65,202 are classical music titles, an extraordinary selection by any measure.
