The popular, large-scale CD shop "HMV Shibuya" (Shibuya Ward, Tokyo) as a place of music dispatching called "Shibuyakei" closed store on the 22nd.

Events depending on musicians such as mini-rhyme were held, and there were a lot of guests who regretted the closing of store took commemoration pictures on this day. "The change of an age is felt" said company employee Hiroyuki Oe (38) at Meguro Ward, Tokyo, "The store was just opened in the year when I went to Tokyo at the age of 18. After work I often stopped by to buy CD. The closure of the store means loneliness".

Masaki Yakawa (31) in Higashikurume City, Tokyo went there since he was a child said in regret about the departing "I often bought CD of Shibuya music with money saved up from the part-time job. It was a place that one was able to encounter new music". British CD sales chain HMV opened this shop as the first shop in Japan in 1990. It moved to the present location on Central Street in 1998.

Although old shops are closing, new shops are opening up. It is natural to see change from one generation to another.
