since 1985

At MION, we add music to life

1985

1985 – The Analog Spark

It all started with a deep love for sound. Founded as 株式会社イザード(K.K. Izard), we began crafting, selling, leasing, and repairing audio equipment in Japan. Before long, we were running our own rehearsal studios—a hub for creators, dreamers, and noise-makers alike.

2014

2014 – Crossing Borders

Berlin called. We answered. We launched our turntable import and sales operation in the heart of Germany’s capital—because music knows no borders.

2018

2018 – Wax On, World On

Back in Japan, we began buying vinyl records. Meanwhile, in Berlin, MION Records was born, with our first physical store and online shop. What started as passion was quickly turning into something bigger.

2020

2020 – Records on Repeat

Time for a new name. We became 株式会社MION(K.K. MION), and launched bold new ventures: DeLIVINYL, our vinyl subscription service, and B2B business, connecting records to spaces and stories worldwide.

2021

2021 – Tone, Craft, Soul

We launched 三音楽器 (MION gakki), a high-end musical instrument store in Japan, specializing in guitars, basses, and pickups—where craftsmanship meets soul, and gear becomes art.

2023

2023 – London Calling

We opened our UK branch, deepening our presence in one of the world’s most iconic music markets.

2024

2024 – Hello, America

The stage got even bigger with our US branch. We expanded our wholesale network across dozens of countries, developed our own stock management system, and moved into a brand new headquarters in Japan.

2025

2025 – The Top 5 Club

From a rehearsal studio in Japan to a vinyl empire with heart: We’re proud to now rank #5 in online vinyl sales worldwide—and we’re just getting started.

20XX

20XX – +MUSIC, Everywhere

We’re not stopping at vinyl and instruments. MION is becoming a global music lifestyle company. Because we believe music isn’t just something you listen to—it’s something you live. This is just the beginning. The future sounds better with MION.

Our Mission

To add MUSIC to life.

We believe music is more than sound — it’s memory, movement, and meaning. Our mission is to embed music into everyday moments, turning the ordinary into something worth feeling. Whether it’s a needle on vinyl, the warmth of vintage speakers, or a forgotten melody on tape, we exist to bring music closer — physically, emotionally, and culturally.

Our Philosophy

Music isn’t a product. It’s a connection.

At MION, we see music as the emotional thread that ties people, places, and time together. That’s why we don’t just sell records or gear — we curate objects with soul. We work with musicians, collectors, creators, and communities to preserve what’s timeless and discover what’s next. We are data-driven, but always led by heart. We are global, but rooted in local culture.

What We Offer

A curated world built around +MUSIC.

MION is more than a store — it’s a living archive of emotion, sound, and culture. We collect, restore, and share the tools and treasures that make music feel alive. From rare vinyl to road-worn instruments, from precision audio gear to creative studio spaces, everything we offer is selected with intention — to move you. And this is just the beginning. There’s so much more to come.

JOIN US

Whether you’re here to collect, to create, to connect — or just to feel something real — there’s a place for you in what we’re building.
