The March 2024 “Record Stylus Day” and “Record Stylus Memorial Service” will be held again this year!

We express our gratitude to record styluses and record enthusiasts through the “Record Stylus Memorial Service.”

Nagaoka Trading Co., Ltd. (head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo), which manufactures and sells record styluses and audio peripherals, will once again hold the “Record Stylus Memorial Service,” revived to mark its 80th anniversary, on Friday, March 8, 2024, the day before “Record Stylus Day.”  This will be the fifth event since its revival in 2020.                                       We express our gratitude to record styluses and record enthusiasts through the “Record Stylus Memorial Service.”                           “Record Stylus Day” is officially March 9, but as the 9th falls on a Saturday this year, we will hold the memorial service on Friday the 8th, the preceding day.

Accordingly, we are accepting broken or worn-out record styluses and cartridges from across Japan, regardless of whether they are submitted by individuals or corporations.          Of course, styluses and cartridges made by other companies are also accepted.

In addition, 10 people will be selected by lottery from among those who send items in and will receive a three-piece record cleaner set, “CLSET2,” as a gift.

The location will be Ongakuji Temple in Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture, which has kindly hosted us every year.                                 The number of styluses sent to us has been increasing year by year.                                        Last year as well, record styluses that had been used with care were given a memorial service at Ongakuji Temple.

We would like to express our gratitude to the styluses that produce good sound and memorable sounds every day,                                      and hope this will help highlight the importance of replacing styluses and encourage the habit of listening to records with good sound.
