HMV at Namba Marui

Books, music, films and character goods on the 7th floor of Namba Marui.

HMV and BOOKS Namba is an entertainment complex shop on the seventh floor of Namba Marui, opened in April 2026 as the relocated and rebranded successor to HMV and BOOKS Shinsaibashi. Spread across roughly 190 tsubo of bright, open floor space, it stocks books, music CDs, films, cosmetics and character goods, with around half the floor given over to beauty and female-oriented items. A permanent event stage seating about 150 people and an exhibition space called "hmv museum" - the fifth of its kind in Japan - let the shop host talk events, signings and pop-up collaborations with artists and brands. The shop operates from 11:00 to 20:00 and sits directly connected to Namba Station on the Midōsuji, Sennichimae, Yotsubashi and Nankai lines, making it an easy drop-in between meals and shopping in Minami. Ponta points are doubled every Saturday, and reservations earn five times the points, so regular buyers can rack up rewards quickly. It suits anime and music fans hunting limited merch, tourists after a one-stop entertainment fix, and anyone who wants to browse physical media in a relaxed, well-lit setting rather than scrolling online. Step off the escalator at Namba Marui's top floor and you land in a space that treats entertainment as something to experience, not just buy. Whether you are chasing a rare idol photocard, flicking through art books or catching a live stage talk, HMV and BOOKS Namba is a lively new anchor for Osaka's pop-culture scene.
