Reinventing home audio and cinema in Japan

Analogue trend offers some opportunities
In Japan, the resurgence of analogue music experiences - such as vinyl records and players – is a significant trend in the music scene. The renaissance is not only a nostalgic return for the older generation but a fresh discovery for younger listeners who have primarily grown up with digital formats.
