Boogie Maru Sounds

If you are into Japanese Citypop, you NEED to visit this place. This is an amazing Japanese-owned indie record store, specializing in Japanese pressings of famous albums, high quality turntables, and casettes. I had no idea such a hidden gem existed in Torrance, but I'm glad it was introduced to me by a friend.

This could possibly be the most best kept secret (in terms of record stores) in Gardena, especially if you're into hard to find City Pop music. The owner is friendly, very knowledgeable and quite helpful.

Absolute gem of a store, and a must-visit if you're looking for Japanese import albums. There's clear care at work in this store; album jackets are neatly stored in plastic sleeves to keep things looking good, and even the vinyls inside the albums I purchased were already protected by quality anti-static sleeves.

I go to Japan quite frequently and i love Japanese pressings. I heard about this store and had to visit. Its a small store but packed with stuff you will not find anywhere unless you are in Japan itself.
