Dylan Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 The knowledge of soul and collections in japan are incredible they have been into soul right from the beginning. I would guess som of the very best deep soul collections are in japan. years ago i found some pictures online of soul clubs in japan in the 60s or 70s.

Guest son of stan Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) It's not 'northern soul' as we knew and loved it. It's someone wearing a dressing gown reviving some of the records in a different time and place... Edited October 11, 2017 by son of stan Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Carty Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Great article , visited my Daughter who was teaching in Osaka some years back , All aspects of retro American culture seemed to be worshipped , even a sizeable shopping section called Americamura, with outlets selling vinyl , toys , comics ,clothes etc , mainly from that golden 50s to 70s American period . They seem to be loving it , wish i could go to that place . Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Not soul related but the best jeans are all made in japan. they have the old looms and make them how they used to be made before mass production and cost cutting saw high street jeans turn into what they are now. A shadow of what they used to be. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
manus Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I work in an academic library and about 12 years or so back I was taking around a group of new post graduate students explaining how the Library functions. We used to have a large spoken word collection on vinyl mainly poetry and plays and a record player for those who wanted to listen to them. At the end of the tour a Japanese guy came up and politely asked would it be possible for him to bring in his own records and we got talking and he was a big Soul fan and mainly into 70s and we did quite a few CD swops over the period he was here and had some great conversations. He was one the polite people I have ever met and would wait very quietly while I was dealing with students whenever he wanted to ask me something. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
