Tower Records has decided on its recommended push items for October 2025. Under the motto “Let’s create breakout items right from the shelves!”, buyers at Tower Records stores across the country rely solely on their ears and intuition to quickly select artists before they become popular, regardless of genre, whether they’re foreign or Japanese, and then promote them in all stores through the popular “Tower Records Recommendation” project. This highly recommended project, which began in 2006, selects items each month through serious presentations and voting by buyers, and then rolls them out to all stores. ◆Tower Records Recommendation Lineup for October 2025 *Alphabetical order ・Super☆Social Sandals “U, Kiss.” Released Wednesday, October 8th ・Matanoshita City “Kaminari From Underground” Released Wednesday, October 1st Tower Records Online “Tower Recommend” URL https://tower.jp/site/series/tower-recomen
