Like an Edison Harajuku files for bankruptcy

Recommended Posts

ライカエジソンの運営主体であった株式会社ライカロリーポップについて、本日午前10時に破産手続が開始されました。

株式会社ライカロリーポップ破産管財人である柴田義人弁護士は、破産手続の開始直後に、原宿店を除く株式会社ライカロリーポップの事業を株式会社フォーラムに譲渡したので、ライカエジソンの運営は、今後、株式会社フォーラムにおいて続けていくことになりました。残念ではございますが、原宿店については本日をもって閉鎖されました。長らくご愛顧いただいたお客様には心からお詫び申し上げます。

今後、原宿店で予定されていたイベント等については追ってご報告します。また、債権の届出等、破産手続については、破産管財人の事務所にお問い合わせください(03-6864-3007

 

info on Twitter. Apparently closed today due to bankruptcy filing?  Unsure if permanent or not or if it affects all locations. Not understanding full translation.

not surprised when I went earlier this year I was the only customer, and there was hardly any cds (1/3 was probably dir en grey/sukekiyo lol) vs. 10+ yrs ago during vkei boom when the shops were packed with cds top to bottom

It sucks. Hope the one in Shinjuku won't close, it's one of my favorite place for vk music and the staff are very nice 

Everytime I go I see people there and they hold a lot of instores in that one, so hopefully it will stay afloat.

Basically their company Like a Lollipop filed for bankruptcy which is why the Harajuku store is closing and the rest are getting new management. That's really depressing, but I'm glad the other stores have survived, I'd love to go there someday. They're one of the best vk stores to shop from.

was there one in harajuku? never went there also in that store were never instore events.

So easy a place people just don't know and forget.

 

 

Yeah, it was a very small location. Not ideal for events, but great for a day of shopping of Harajuku.

Harajuku also changed in a few years a lot...

I doubt many vkei fans go there shopping nowadays.

Yeah I was just thinking that; Closet Child is gone too, right? Wonder if it’s a sign of it falling out of fashion? (At least as far as trendy youth goes.)

How did I forget about that? That really sucks, especially for a fashion staple like Harajuku...

Harajuku fashion did change since about... 2013 I guess.

2012 it was cool, 2014 it was changed completely... 

It's more a rich kid area now. 

 

 

And yes

Closet Child Harajuku is gone too yes,

Even in that store were many instore events, good promotion etc, still gone.

 

But Harajuku truly changed in a short period of time. Visual Kei is gone there...

I think the vk stores in Shibuya, Shinjuku and Ikebukuro are doing fine though.

I visit them regularly (and I'm usually not the only costumer plus they sell online too) and instores are still getting held there.

Japanese fans really do prefer collecting physical stuff, so it's more popular than downloading here.

Ikebukuro still has Closet Child. They're just not buying CDs anymore and the selection is quite small.

Is instore culture dying, too? Along with physical stores and free VK mags like Gab?

I mean I guess realistically some incentives for instores like 2shots can be done at venues, but the talks :(

What's with Zeal Link?

It's still in Shibuya if I'm not mistaken.

 

It's crazy, whenever I'm in Osaka Like an Edison has moved. I already know four differend store locations.
