Araiyakushi’s jazz kissa rompercicci guides you to the fascination of inexpensive vinyls

A tiny cafe yet the biggest inspiration source for a decade

rompercicci has always been a stimulating experience for me and has become my greatest source of inspiration. So when I am working on a book or feel like I am about to wither away from work, I always go to rompercicci. I just want to spend some time alone, relaxing and soaking up the jazz music.

Incidentally, I have been going to this place for about 10 years now, and as I go, I find that there are a few standard records, in other words, “rompercicci Classics.” For example, pianist Dorothy Donegan’s records are one of them. She is the kind of pianist jazz listeners don’t go through, and she is not a particularly popular or well-recorded artist, but I think I learned her charm in rompercicci.

Finally, I should mention how I was able to find such a jazz cafe: about 10 years ago, when I was still working in a record store, I spoke to a couple at the cash register and said, “We’re opening such and such a store, could you drop off a flyer?” I was working at a record store about 10 years ago when a couple approached me at the cash register and said, “We’ve opened this kind of shop. The ideal jazz cafe for me came from the other side.

All of them can be purchased for less than 1,000 yen. If you are planning to start a jazz cafe, it would be better to have these records than to buy a single 5,000 yen record,” said Saito Sotoshio.
