Tower Records has now a new Okinawa home on the 7th floor of Ryubo Department Store.

Music giant Tower Records is opening a new store on the 7th floor of Ryubo Department Store in Palette Kumoji to replace the outlet on Kokusai Street that closed last year, and the celebration includes a four-day entertainment special.

The events take place at the first floor event space at Ryubo Department Store, saluting Tower Records’ opening two days ago.  Admission is free for the entire four days of “No Okinawa, No Live”.  The new store is called Tower Records Naha Ryubo. A large variety of music genres will be for sale on the shelves, and company officials say that they plan to hold many events in collaboration with Ryubo. Tower Records was formerly located in the OPA Naha building on Kokusai Street, but OPA closed and the Tower Records also closed in July 2013.
