The stairs leading down to the basement of DUG For half a century, DUG, a jazz café, has been frequented by many, leaving behind music and memories. Upon receiving news of its closure, the comments section was filled with numerous "memories."    • DUG閉店｜JBLスピーカーLE8Tと真空管アンプTELEFUNKENが描く“最後の...   This video quietly traces the memories left behind by DUG, focusing on the episodes related to the "stairs of memories" that everyone has shared. Your experiences at DUG, your cherished memories from that time, your daily life, a page from your youth. The JBL LE8T speakers, the TELEFUNKEN tube amplifier, and the countless jazz pieces that played in the café. We hope to preserve, even in a small way, "that time" created by the sound and space. This video is for those who frequented DUG, those who learned about DUG through Haruki Murakami's works, and all those who love jazz café culture to share and preserve their memories. Please share your "memories of DUG" in the comments section. The voices of those who loved this place will be preserved as yet another record. ▼JAZZ BAR DUG, in its predecessor DIG era, was a place where jazz musicians such as Sadao Watanabe and Terumasa Hino would stop by after finishing their performances at Roppongi Pit Inn. It was also a place frequented by cultural figures and industry professionals such as Haruki Murakami and Makoto Wada. Haruki Murakami even uses JBL speakers in his private life. Makoto Wada's illustrations can still be seen in large numbers at the jazz café Volontaire. The description of DUG in the book "Norwegian Wood" is famous, and overseas readers of Haruki Murakami also visit DUG. There is a theory that the jazz-related book "Portrait in Jazz," a double-named work by Makoto Wada and Haruki Murakami, was born here. It is a crossroads of jazz and culture made possible by the unique characteristics of Tokyo. And the existing jazz cafés surrounding DUG are wonderful. ▼This video was created as a record to preserve the charm of jazz café culture and vintage audio for future generations. We hope you can feel the atmosphere of the space and the presence of the equipment. 【Visited Establishment】 Scheduled to close on June 26, 2026 JAZZ BAR DUG 〒160-0022 3-15-12 Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo (3-minute walk from JR Shinjuku Station East Exit) Tel 03-3354-7776 Business Hours: 12:00 – 23:30 Bar Time from 18:00, table charge applies Information as of April 2026 Please check the website, social media, etc. for the latest information on business days, hours, etc. 【Equipment Details】 Speakers: JBL C54 TRIMLINE embedded in the wall (20cm full-range LE8T + passive radiator PR8) Integrated Amplifier: Vacuum tube amplifier designed and manufactured by Shigeo Kobayashi (Vacuum tubes: German-made TELEFUNKEN) CD Player: MARANTZ CD6007 Special Thanks to the store manager and everyone who gave permission for photography on the day.
