This series explores some of the world’s most captivating record stores, delving into the personalities of their owners and the diversity of record culture.
This time, we’re featuring II TIGHT MUSIC Machida Main Store, located in Sagamihara, Kanagawa, with the nearest station being Machida.
The store's name comes from the southern slang “II TIGHT,” meaning "super cool." Owner Murayama-san, deeply fascinated by music and American culture, still frequently travels to the U.S., especially to explore the deeper, local scenes outside of New York and Los Angeles. Originally, Murayama-san began selling records out of a supermarket parking lot during his trips to the U.S. He started an online shop in 2007, but quickly realized the importance of close communication with customers, leading him to open the physical store in 2009.
II TIGHT MUSIC regularly hosts events and parties, inviting international artists connected to the shop, bringing an authentic scene to Japan. The store, filled with Murayama-san’s passion and curiosity, offers a deep dive into the world of gangsta rap, providing visitors with new discoveries and surprises.
