Aside from Japan, the thing about cassette tapes that will keep a few of them around for a while is the automobile. If you have a classic car then the period correct in-car-entertainment could be a cassette player with slots in the dashboard for a selection of cassettes. You would need period correct tapes for your 1980's hot hatch - e.g. 'Born in the USA' or 'Brothers in Arms' that were de-facto during that time for anyone owning a VW Golf Peugeot 205 GTI. These little accessories are what makes a classic car that bit more interesting. Needless to say the market for refurbished cassettes is a bit thin but I would like to think it exists.
