Cassette tapes were the most familiar to music lovers who spent their youth in the 1970s and 1980s. Everyone must have been busy checking the air and copying records.
At that time, all home appliance manufacturers and audio manufacturers were selling cassette tapes, but the three major manufacturers were TDK, Sony, and Maxell that led the market.
In particular, TDK has long led the industry, boasted the number one market share, and was a brand synonymous with cassette tapes.
This magazine provides complete coverage of all types of cassette tapes released by TDK, along with photos.
It's been nearly 20 years since TDK withdrew from the cassette tape business, but let's look back at the sounds of yesteryear through this magazine and reminisce about the nostalgic times.
