Ginza has always been a place that inspires dreams. With its well-earned reputation as a landmark for music, it’s home to the legendary recording studio Onkio Haus, where countless Japanese classics were born. Blending modern and traditional architectural styles, its streets have long inspired artists and are the backdrop for many iconic music videos. This playlist, which has been curated to mark the opening of Apple Ginza, features tracks by artists with ties to Apple Music, musicians, including Ryuichi Sakamoto, who made Onkio Haus a creative home, as well as music inspired by the city itself. Spanning both generations and genres—from classical, jazz and classic Japanese pop to J-Pop, hip-hop, game music and soundtracks—it reflects the history, diversity and sophistication that keep Ginza at the cultural forefront. Let the music guide you through a district where stories still live and breathe.
