Japan Import Vinyl
Japanese music releases have always had a life of their own. The perfectionism, the uncompromising sound quality, the beautiful covers and the small details that only Japanese presses can deliver. Many Japanese pressings are known for their superior sound, unique mastering and exclusive bonus tracks that never made it onto Western releases. For collectors and nerds, Japan Import is not just a label – it is a seal of quality.
At iMusic you will find a large selection of Japanese vinyl – both new releases and rare imported records that you won't find in your local store. We handpick titles from Japanese labels that pay attention to detail, sound and aesthetics. Here you will find everything from classic J-Pop releases and city pop to Japanese rock, metal, soundtracks and anime-related albums.
Japanese vinyl is often pressed in small runs and sells out quickly, so many of the records here are real collectors' items. Whether you collect rare pressings, hunt for specific obi strips (the distinctive paper bands around the cover), or just want the best sound quality, you'll find something here to strike a chord with your music nerd.
Explore our selection of Japanese vinyl and Japan Import releases below – and feel the difference when passion, precision and vinyl meet.
Want to dive even deeper? Also check out our selection of Japan Import CDs and Anime Films on Blu-Ray, 4K UHD and DVD . If you're more into Korean music than Japanese, you can also check out our selection of K-pop vinyls .
