Edison Distributors

Fukuoka (Hakata) division of Edison (3) record shops with a close association to King's World Records. KWR was a part of Edison Fukuoka. Both KWR and Fukuoka Edison were owned by Kenji Kawahara. Although the Fukuoka Edison shop was technically a division of Tokyo-based Music Visions (Edison Group), it had its own operation and KWR was an entirely separate label. Edison and KWR closed down sometime during the 2000's, but the label started its operation again in 2014.
