Ryuhana × union record SHIBUYA / FALAFEL BROTHERS| A new experience of music and food that enriches your mind and body

Standing in Chaos Kitchen
Analog record store

As the predecessor of Disk Union, "Union Records" began selling records in 1967. More than half a century later, it was revived in Shinjuku in 2018 following the reheat of record popularity. The following year, we opened our second store in Shibuya PARCO, where various cultures gather. Products are selected based on the concept of "a shop where you can easily enjoy records" from those who are touching records for the first time to record fans of the past. In connection with the food and beverage floor called CHAOS KITCHEN on the B1F where the shop is located, there are a number of famous hoods that spread all over the wall. You can enjoy the wall like a gallery, and when you enter the shop, you will be wrapped in the unique smell of a nostalgic record board. Paper and brand new binal scent…It is a space that is irresistible for analog lovers with sight, smell, and hearing.

You can only experience it on records
Moving, new analog music experience

In order to be able to experience the appeal of analog records more, the JBL 4311B speaker and the primen amplifier is equipped with the Accuphase E-250, one of Japan's leading audio brands, so you can actually drop the needle and listen to it on the spot. Ryuka is recommended by the staff and watch Riblo's "fetal motion". “I don’t need music for 24 hours a day. There is also a record player at home, and I like to listen to music with players. My favorite is the Suntora of the movie Betty Blue. I often listen to this analogue when my friends gather at home. At Union Records, you can also receive recommendations from the shop, so you can experience music that is a bit different from your own selection.”

Perfect as a nice gift
Disk Union Original Goods

Disk Union vinyl leather carrying bag that has been loved by analog board enthusiasts for many years with functionality, durability, and universal design. A new model that uses polyester fabric in this standard bag is also available. In addition, there are plenty of original goods such as tote bags from Ken Kagami Collaboration and cushions with logo motifs. The soft and elastic cushion is perfect for listening while relaxing in the room!

Music that accompanies the story of life
The sound of childhood memories.

“My father and mother both love music. When I was young, the music that became an alarming place for me was Underworld and The Chemical Brothers. It was awakened by intense music in the morning (laughs). Even now, listening to this music reminds me of my childhood morning. I like driving, so I often play my favorite sound while moving. Listen to Nujabes on the morning drive, or enjoy a little Moody song at night. I like HIP HOP and pianist Chilly Gonzales.…I enjoy every day because of my parents’ influence.”
