Tokyo Music

There are lots of interesting objects to be found here if you’re willing to sift through all of it. Kind of all over the place in regards to organization. But for me that’s part of what makes it interesting. You never know what you might come across. Might be a harsh noise CD with vulgar animé album artwork. Might be a cool street style mag. Might be a local artists artbook/​zine laden with illustrations of alien girls draped in next dimensional clothing. Might be a documentary on rollercoasters in America.

This is a very cool place! I always find stuff here, although it would be nice if they had some knee pads for looking through all the boxes on the floor. Would be nice if they had regular hours and a phone number.

Totally classic 80’s video store!
It’s like going back in a time machine to destination 1988 – 1992. Sure, the place is messy and a little dusty, but it has some really cool and interesting hard to find cult videos and music.
I visited the place for the first time today. The guy behind the counter (Scott) was super funny and helpful, and knew a lot about PUNK bands and film.
If you are lost in the Woodland Hills area, or just waiting for the man, it’s a good place to kick it in.

Found some badass cult VHS and posters! LA needs more stores like Tokyo music! Original and underground stuff! Keep it up!

Names sometimes make sense once explained, but no one is certain why this place has a name such as Tokyo Music. Irt would be a stretch Plus itmust be utilized as a write off for the owner for some reason.
To be straight, the kid who has a lemonade stand down my street could do a better job running a retail space than what I encountered here. I see no reason to visit this place.

a hidden gem located in Woodland Hills. Sure, the store is in disarray and chaotic, but that’s how I like it. The prices are reasonable and cheap compared to the big guns. They have a wide variety — records, c.d.‘s, old school horror videos. Check it out.

It’s an interesting place.
If you search hard enough, you might find some good things in the store (strategy guides for around $ 5). However, the store is very dirty, unorganized, and does not give a friendly atmosphere to it.
Also, the store is geared more towards b-​movies, unknown musicians, and subcultures. So, if you’re looking for a place to find some Japanese music, it would NOT be in here.
Overall, it’s an interesting place to be in, but I feel really dirty being surrounded by the mess.

cool store, dude who works theres hot

what the f…
was cool though

Walked in to check it out. Looks like a bunch of otaku junk strewn around in a random fashion like a a dirty bedroom. I wasn’t greeted or asked if I needed any help. Store looked abandoned.

For a second I thought Animé Expo didn’t leave LA as I entered a unknown shop. The walls had wall scrolls, the shelves had old video games, manga and music and then I was surrounded by a mountain of VHS tapes. Tokyo Music is a paradise of indie goods and hard to find collectibles. Going through you’ll get lost in the all the different goods.
I went through the collection of old VHS to find some classic B-​Horror, but there’s more. There’s indie music, animé, manga, shirts, posters and some video game promo goodies to snag. It’s somewhat of a grunge fest in there, everything’s everywhere. I guess you could think of it as a small Wacko outside of Hollywood.
You’ll find parking to be quite good, plus your near plenty of places to eat. Your right near Rocket Fizz for sodas, and The Flip Side Shop is also nearby for even more collectible goodies.
Just a great place to grab something for your room to stand out or get something you won’t likely find at Target.
