I live in Nagoya, but been to Tokyo enough to know the place half decent.
Clubs; Eleven is run by the same people as Yellow and in the same space - sadly
been to neither as Yellow closed before I got here. Good clubs are Unit, Air
not been to Module, Warehouse 702 but heard they're good. Then there is Womb, a
huge club, sometimes great sometimes not so great, depends entirely on the
night really and who is DJing.
Record stores; definitely check out Shibuya, really good 'Banana Records'
there, not too expensive as they deal in new & used.
synth shops; not sure whether this is relevant at all, but everytime I'm in
Tokyo I make sure to call into www.echigoyamusic.com, this and a place called
FiveG are crazy. Lined wall to wall with synths, fx etc... friendly staff, free
to test the stuff out. Some (most) of the stuff is pricey but you can find some
bargains now and again.
