The 1980s was the most vibrant time in recorded history for Japan. One of the most shining Japanese cultures in the world was audio. Walkman, radio cassette player, mini computer, and rose control. Now in 2021, let's enjoy the neo-historic gadgets that we used and admired back then!

This high-posit cassette uses cobalt-based magnetic material. This is a "new" product made this year at an overseas factory that once produced cassette tapes as a subcontractor for a domestic manufacturer. (*)

How to enjoy 1980s sounds in 2022

[Main content]
●Relive the radio cassette player and minicomputer from those days! [Used & repaired]
*The direction is to obtain it cheaply, repair it, and enjoy it.
◇ PART1
It is said that there is currently an unprecedented boom in radio cassettes, but at the heart of it are either the ``heavy and bulky'' stereo radio cassettes of the 1970s, or the monaural radio cassettes typified by Studio 1980.
But our reality is the 1980s.
I want to use the stylish and colorful radio cassette player that I admired and fell in love with back then!

◇ PART2
Do you know the power of minicomputers?
After going through modular stereos (1960s) and system components (1970s), it was the ``mini-computers'' that supported the stereo lifestyles of young people in the 1980s.
Although there have been some interesting developments, such as the Private vs. Liberty War, which remains in audio history, and unique mini-computers such as Property (Akai) and Roxy (Kenwood), mini-computers have been in a bad situation for a long time.
Perhaps it is their fate as a set item, but if a player or cassette deck breaks, it is treated as bulky waste.Furthermore, there are many special parts and it is difficult to repair, so many used mini-computers are exported to China, Russia, and the Middle East, and domestically. It is rarely distributed.
However, in recent years, minicomputers have been reconsidered. Compact, multifunctional, and high sound quality. Now you can enjoy a mini-computer with realistic 80's sounds.


●How to “favor” 80s idols! [Music/Records]
◇ Enjoy 80s idols with EP
Single record, so-called EP. The number of balls is abundant and the price is low. The average price is 100 yen at Hard Off or a recycle shop. You can buy great records for 300 to 700 yen at used record stores!
Adults can now buy those singles that they hesitated to buy when they were in middle school or high school!

◇ It doesn't get old even if you listen to it now! Listen to this LP!!
Idol songs with a full 80's feel are good, but there are also many idol LPs that don't sound old even now, or that feature famous artists.
Carefully selected idol songs that you should listen to now!

●Visual era pioneered by a-ha (tentative) [Music/Live]
Nowadays, every new song comes with a PV and MV, but it was a-ha's ``Take on me'' that set the tone.
In Japan, they were a one-hit wonder idol group that represented the 1980s, but in Europe they maintain deep-rooted popularity as talented artists.
A new album and Japan tour are also planned for 2021-2022!
What to do? Let's enjoy the 80's live??

●Cassette life to enjoy casually [Used/Cassette]
It has been a while since production of metal tape and chrome tape was discontinued. Now that cassette tapes are becoming popular again, the prices of metal tapes and chrome tapes are soaring, almost like investment properties.
But would you use metal tape that you bought for over 10,000 yen each?
I can't use it like that, it's a waste.
What I would like to recommend is a stylish and cheap normal tape such as Sony's ``WHAT'S UP?''.
The colorful or cool tapes, rather than the black ones, are actually surprisingly talented.
Use cheap normal tapes casually...that's the way to enjoy modern cassettes!

■Showa scent to enjoy in Reiwa (tentative)
``Radsiders' Weekly'' is an e-mail magazine hosted by Kyoichi Tsuzuki, who has captured the Showa era scenes from everyday life in works such as ``ROADSIDE JAPAN,'' ``TOKYO STYLE,'' and ``Rental Space.'' He often introduces ``Showa-style events'' held all over Japan from a subculture perspective. This time, we will be interviewing you about events that we have introduced in the past that have a lot of highlights, and how to keep your antenna up so you don't miss out on these events.
