I am in Tokyo now and there are some very large used bookstores. These stock lots of old copies of audio review magazines which have the merit of being in Japanese. The obvious benefit is that most people can easily ignore any reviews or editorials while flipping through the colorful pages.
Another thing that struck me about Japan is that the (popular) music industry in general appears to be much more "healthy" than it is in the US and Europe. At least in Tokyo there are plenty of music super-stores, music billboards, advertisements, etc. It's like a time warp back to 1985.
