Strange suminando sorahikos?

[jdimitri]

Hey folks, currently in japan for a holiday

While I was in tokyo i grabbed myself a 45rpm sorahiko, i originally intended to get the suminandos (something different to my nudies RRDS, black and straight) but after going to a few stores they seem to all be out of stock. They had this nandoxnando or something that fits a little tighter than sorahikos

Now i'm in osaka and visited a shop here, when i asked the lady she went to the back room and got these and said they were suminandos (after having me try on the nando nando again, then she realized what i wanted)

It looks black in the picture, but it's actually dark blue with a graphite-ish back with blue stitching. It also doesnt have the shiny white that i see in denim

Are these what i'm looking for? It's a bit hard with the language barrier here, it's a lot more pointing and hand gesture than making a conversation. The pictures of suminandos ive seen have the standard light colour inside

if they are, i might exchange/return the sorahikos

Btw, the nando nando also have the same qualities, just a different cut

These are the Sumi X Top Sorahikos, not the regular Suminandos you had in mind. They have been discussed a little bit in the 45RPM thread, you'll find more information there.
