Our Stores Are Called "TSUTAYA" for Two Reasons 1.Muneaki Masuda, founder of TSUTAYA (currently the president of Culture Convenience Club), had a grandfather whose business also operated under the name "Tsutaya." 2.In deference to Juzaburo Tsutaya, proprietor of wholesale publishing house "Tsutaya" during the Edo Period. Juzaburo is said to have been the promoter for Sharaku, and is considered in contemporary terms to have been a top-class producer of his time.
He is believed to have played a critical role in publicizing much talent.
Although the span between the Edo Period and our times is substantial, the goal of Culture Convenience Club to become the premiere Planning Company for Information Distribution still matches well with the accomplishments of Juzaburo Tsutaya.

From the customer's perspective, TSUTAYA locations offer "culture" to "Anybody, Anywhere, Any Time."

As a lifestyle navigator, TSUTAYA supports the self-actualization of customers through their selections of DVDs, CDs, books, and video games.

DVDs, CDs, books, and video games are all available at one location. The desired titles can be rented, purchased, sold as used product, and otherwise enjoyed. TSUTAYA fulfills the wishes of its customers for their enjoyment.

Not home, not work, another place for discovery and relaxation in one's life: TSUTAYA aspires to be that place for its customers.
