I’m planning to write a longer, more thematic piece on all of this, on the vibrant business and street culture in Japanese cities and the seemingly very, very low barriers to entry for regular people to participate. Note that vintage amplifier, which I assume was somehow connected to the beautiful old Denon turntable in the corner, playing a jazz record. It’s about giving people permission to pursue a passion or hobby at a slightly commercialized scale, rather than forcing them to either keep it to themselves or take the big, risky, expensive jump of going into business.
