中でも注目は、5〜7階フロアにオープンした「HMV&BOOKS TOKYO」だ。ピチカートファイヴやフリッパーズギターなど、90年代の音楽シーンをけん引した「渋谷系（サウンド）」、そのブームの火付け役となったCDショップとして知られたのが「HMV渋谷店」である。CDからダンロードへと音楽市場が激変する中で、2010年に惜しまれつつ閉店した同店であるが、5年ぶりに渋谷の地に帰ってきた。従来のCDやDVDに加え、雑貨やイベントを展開するスペースが加わるなど、複合的なエンタメショップとしてパワーアップしている点は見逃せない。昨今、音楽市場は定額制に押され気味であるが、はす向かいに店舗を構えるタワレコと共に、「リアル店舗」ならではの出合いや魅力をどこまで提案できるか、それが大きな課題となりそうだ。
