History

There is a historical reason why there are
so many instruments in good condition.
Let’s take a look at the history.

Back In the

1970s

BAND BOOM ARRIVES

In the 1970s, along with Japan’s rapid economic growth, came the band boom.Many old guitars were imported from the U.S. along with the demand from Japanese who admired the instruments used by famous American and British musicians.

In the

1980s

MASS IMPORTATION TO JAPAN AND THE SPREAD OF ELECTRONIC SOUNDS

In the 1980s, Japan entered a bubble economy, and musical instrument manufacturers in the U.S. and around the world began mass production of musical instruments targeting Japan. On the other hand, the electronic sounds of Yellow Magic Orchestra influenced the whole world, and Japanese manufacturers such as Roland, KORG, and YAMAHA began to mass-produce synthesizers, samplers, and other electronic devices, expanding their market worldwide.

In the

1990s

CLUB MUSIC TRENDS AND HARDWARE EVOLUTION

Behind the popularity of acid jazz in the late 1990s and club jazz and dubstep in the 2000s was the constant evolution of synthesizers and other hardware, mass-produced by various manufacturers, and used by many musicians.

IN THE 2020s

And today, in the 2020s, digital music has become the mainstream in Japan with the evolution of PC software. There are many vintage instruments in Japan, but most of them are stored in warehouses with no one to play them.
