I'll give a shout out to Dub Store Records (ReggaeRecords.com). They have a nice selection of material and also had some things that are very hard to find in the states! I was lucky to find 4 wanted items and they shipped it very quickly as well.

I'm just back from Dub Store in Tokyo (aka ReggaeRecord.com). Really friendly and knowledgeable staff. The shop is surprisingly small -- about 20 square metres. Anyway, happy shopping!

Also, the chap at Dub Store told me about a shop in Kyoto/Nara (he couldn't remember which) called The Black Ark. Great name of course, but I wonder what it's like...

There was or still is a shop or hang out called Blackhawk in Tokyo (Shinjuku or Roponggi, I believe). A lot of the Japanese reggae celebs of the 90s used to hang out there like Chieko Beauty. Be nice to know if it still exists, since I've heard many stories of the place.

WOW!! I cant believe i already got my record i ordered from dub store!! Lightning Fast shipping!! It took 2 days!!

I mean look at my above post, i had just received an email from them the day before that...

great shop but the postage very expensive but quick though.there are other shops out there that do not have website but they have fantastic good stuff.i have this japanese friend who collects lots of ska and rocksteady and he hooked me up with some albums and songs i have not seen anywhere before.killer rare stuff.

Selecta Bing put me onto the Reggaerecords site a while back great selection and prices are ok when you consider some of the items they have in stock just cant be had anywhere else but as was mentioned postage from there in Japan is a killer.
