Universounds occupies a quiet corner in Suginami, marked by a stack of vinyl records visible through the glass storefront. This shop exists as a sanctuary for collectors of rare Japanese jazz and funk. Masahiro Akimoto opened these doors in nineteen ninety-nine, driven by his search for high-quality pressings that had vanished from mainstream circulation. He tracks down private archives and estate sales to fill his shelves, turning the small space into a destination for musicians hunting for obscure grooves from the seventies.
