Exciting Changes at BLACK RECORDS

BLACK RECORDS, the pioneering record store located at the former site of San-senri in Shibuya, is undergoing a significant shift in its entry policy to ensure a safer and more organized environment for music lovers. Known for its unique approach to music retail, the shop eliminates any visual distractions, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the listening experience. In light of the ongoing inquiries from patrons, the management has decided to implement a reservation system effective from September 17, 2025.

Why the Change?

As the popularity of BLACK RECORDS continues to grow, the management recognizes the need to enhance visitor experience while ensuring safety. The move to a reservation-only entry aims to minimize congestion within the store, allowing everyone a more comfortable and enjoyable visit.

Updated Entry Details

Here's a summary of the updated entry policies for both floors of BLACK RECORDS:

1F (First Floor)

• - Previous Policy (as of September 8): Open for all customers; might require same-day entry tickets during peak times.
