Here's Today's Purchase

I met a total of 3 new and used cassette tapes! Even though it was used, it was in good condition, and I was able to make a very good purchase. I will introduce one of the purchased products.

Amat #2／Sweet William

A collection of new beats from Aichi-born beat maker Sweet William. This work, which will be released on BandCamp distribution and cassette tape, contains a total of 24 songs, including unreleased songs.

The sound quality unique to cassette tapes adds warmth to the sounds of instruments such as bass and piano.

The special set with DL code and sticker is on sale with a limited quantity of only 150, and can also be purchased at Banana Records Osu store. (Information at the time of interview. Please contact the store for stock status.)

How do you Listen to a Cassette Tape?

There are various devices for playing cassette tapes, such as radio-cassette players and components, but this time, I would like to listen to it using a portable cassette player.

An US-made portable cassette player pulled out of my closet. The toy-like appearance and pop colors are my favorite points. Broadcasting stations are limited, but you can also listen to FM/AM radio. You can also record.

The basic operation for playing is very simple. Open the side of the player ... ....

Just put the tape upside down with the side you want to hear facing forward.

The set is now complete! Since there is no auto reverse function, it will automatically stop when the A side ends. To listen to side B, turn the cassette tape over and insert it again.

Use the fast forward and rewind buttons to find the song you want to listen. When the timing is right at the beginning of the song, I feel great! The buttons on a cassette player that you can't get on your smartphone have a very nice feel to them.

The portable type makes it easy to carry, and it is also a good companion for outdoor activities such as picnics and camping. Also, there are many things that can be purchased at reasonable prices, so it is also recommended for the beginners.

"Extra Edition"
Popular for its Retro and Cute Appearance
Cassette Tape Style Goods

The appeal of cassette tapes is not limited to just listening. Recently, many goods with cassette tape motifs are being sold. Here are 3 items that are so cute that you can't help but reach out!

Miniature cassette tape swing (5 types in total)

A capsule toy with a very cute miniature feel. 1/3 size cassette tape type key holder. It's so cute that you'll want to stack it on your keys or bag and carry it around!

The side of the tape and the index card are designed and printed with fictitious label names based on cassette tape makers "DENON", "SONY", "maxell", and "TDK". It is also possible to take out the contents. I was surprised by the high degree of reproducibility, even though it was so small, it was well made down to the smallest details.

Guardians of the Galaxy VOLUME 3 cassette tape measure

Impulse purchase at the cinema store. Just like the previous goods, this one also looks like a key holder with a cassette tape design at first glance, but...

Actually, I'm a tape measure! Did they get the idea from a stretched tape? A key holder that combines cuteness and humor. By the way, it can measure up to 90 cm.

Ongaku Tenugui (face towel)

At Disk Union, I found a cute "Ongaku tenugui" with a cassette tape pattern. A product from Kamawanu, a tenugui specialty store that collaborates with many famous companies such as ANA and the Yakult Swallows.

It is a masterpiece made in Japan using the traditional dyeing method "Chusen". Each time you use it, it will become softer and more comfortable. There are many types such as record patterns and audio room patterns, and the cuteness makes you want to collect them all. Ignite the collector's soul.

Hidden stretch tape.

In addition, it seems that various goods such as cassette tape type pass cases, coin cases, smartphone cases and Bluetooth speakers are sold.

Enjoy listening to it, enjoy collecting it, enjoy it as fashion and interior... It is very interesting to enjoy cassette tapes from various viewpoints.

This time, we introduced recommended shops that handle cassette tapes in Nagoya City.

How about adding the option of listening to cassette tapes in search of a sound that feels good to you, which is different from a just good sound? The width of the way of enjoying music spreads a lot.
