Household objects at the front, records at the back

The shop opened on 19 September 2026 on 2F at 3-24-5 Jingumae. bPr BEAMS occupies the front, with Korean steel-furniture brand rareraw's fixtures and roughly 500 objects, from keyrings, pouches and mugs to stools. BEAMS RECORDS sits behind it with about 350 vinyl titles—twice the previous store's range—alongside CDs, cassettes, headphones and DJ mixers. Taguchi made custom-colour/specification speakers for the room. Label T-shirts and totes are also offered here exclusively among physical shops.

They ignore exit positions, station interiors, underground passages, signals, slopes and routes inside buildings — not directions; follow on-site signs.

An album to play or tapes to record

One catalogue starting point is Poison Girl Friend's Melting Moment, a 2026 clear-red LP reissue of the nOrikO-led unit's 1992 record. Whispered vocals meet ambient techno, trip-hop and French pop; try 'Hardly Ever Smile (without you)' or 'Quoi' before seeking it out. The official online price example is ¥5,280.

For making a mix, Blank Cassette Tapes 3PACK offers unrecorded TYPE-I magnetic tape: 30, 46 and 60 minutes across both sides, in transparent, red and yellow shells. Write tracks on the index cards and tape-title panels. Its online price is ¥3,740. Neither example establishes branch stock or counter prices. Hours are weekdays 12:00–20:00, weekends/holidays 11:00–20:00, with irregular closures. The branch lists tax-free service and UnionPay; ask the branch about other payment methods.
