Newtone-records is one of only two brick-and-mortar shops you can still find good dance music in Osaka. The store is small but overflowing with stock and you'll find a diversity of underground music primarily on vinyl but some on CD. Their website makes available nearly all titles in the store with samples, so you can browse anywhere. There, you don't need to open up titles out of the sleeves as they have a Mac with a set of headphones that their website's on. You can buy online and reserve titles too. The biggest drawback about this store and others located in Tokyo that sell dance music, is the cost. Titles at larger stores such as Juno are 1- 3 Euros cheaper, but when you factor shipping to Japan, there goes the savings. Recommended if you're in Osaka and are hungry to do some digging. The staff are friendly and some can speak a bit of English.
