私たちについて / About Us
More Than
a Record
Store
Peter Cat Records is a sanctuary for deep listening a place where vinyl and sound tell stories, where every album on the shelf was chosen with intention, and where music is experienced as a living, breathing art.
私たちの使命
Our
Mission
Curated With Care
Every Jazz title in our store is handpicked by people who love the music deeply. We don't stock algorithmically — we stock soulfully, trusting that the right record will find the right listener.
Inspired by Japan's intimate listening culture, we built this store as a place to slow down, step away from the noise, and let music take you somewhere. Sound is sacred here.
A Space to Listen
ストーリー / Our Story
Born from
a Love of Jazz
The store itself is a tribute to one of its founders' favourite writers, Haruki Murakami a storyteller who has always understood how deeply music can shape a life. Before he became known around the world for his novels, Murakami ran a jazz club called Peter Cat. Our store carries that name and that spirit forward: obsessed with records, composition, and the kind of music that reaches places words cannot.
But Peter Cat Records is also deeply personal. It is inspired by the tradition of the Japanese listening culture intimate listening spaces where silence is honoured, focus is welcomed, and the sound of a needle touching vinyl is its own entire experience.
Peter Cat Records was born in love of music, memory, and the particular silence between songs.
価値観 / What We Stand For
Our
Values
Three principles that shape every record we stock, every conversation we have, and every moment you spend in our store.
01
Intentional Curation
Every Cellar Music Group Jazz title in our store is hand-selected. We choose albums the way a librarian selects books — with context, history, and love. Nothing lands on our shelves by accident.
02
Deep Listening
We believe music deserves your full attention. Our space is designed for people who are not just browsing but genuinely searching — for a feeling, a memory, or something they haven't heard yet.
03
Community & Culture
Peter Cat is a gathering place for music lovers, collectors, and curious minds. We host events, collaborate with local artists, and build a living community around the shared love of recorded sound.
フィロソフィー / Philosophy
A Place for
Deep Listening
Inspired by Japan's intimate listening culture, this space is designed for people who love music deeply. A place where sound takes the lead, where albums are played with intention, and where every detail is meant to pull you deeper into the experience.
We don't believe in background music. Every record that plays in our store is chosen for the moment the light in the room, the mood of the afternoon, the feeling of the season.
