This video takes viewers to a unique pop-up event at Shinjuku’s Newoman, focusing on Japan’s vibrant culture of retro technology, especially from the 1980s and 1990s. Hosted at Loop Play, the event features Stability, a project by the renowned Shimojima-san. Stability specializes in reviving and customizing classic Sony gadgets—such as the iconic yellow Walkman, Discmans, “Shaberoku” robot radios, and rugged camera housings—turning them into modern cultural artifacts with a nostalgic twist.

The presenter shares their personal journey, detailing a stop at this event while en route to a record store. They give insight into the creative background of Shimojima-san, who founded Stability in 2022 after a career in outdoor gear. Shimojima-san has since become known for transforming ‘comical devices’—vintage Japanese gadgets—through nationwide pop-ups, using hip-hop and sampling-inspired aesthetics. These events appeal to fans of mechanical switches, retro style, and unique technological history in Japan.

Shinjuku’s Newoman, located in the heart of one of Tokyo’s busiest neighborhoods, is a top destination for both shopping and cultural experiences. The video also suggests following Stability on Instagram for updates and further pop-ups, and encourages viewers to connect for more explorations of Tokyo’s record and vintage tech scene. The blend of retro electronics, contemporary customization, and expert knowledge offers a fresh look at Japan’s affinity for invention and preservation of pop culture history.
