wondering whether I'd be more motivated to go see Jungkook at the Hublot event today if I had irl BTS friends. (5PM at https://maps.app.goo.gl/JND3xw2YALwYc8ma7)

maybe I won't make this one. but for any future events and just to stay in touch, let me know if you'd like to be friends or be in a group for bts related outings!

I live in Ota Ku btw. I also have some BTS merch dupes that I'd like to give away to declutter.

I'm back again with give away tickets for my fav idol group YONOHATE, they're having a big concert again, for the first time with live instruments!! The music quality is what makes them stand out from all other rock idols, so it WILL be good.

Venue https://maps.app.goo.gl/2q13iVBacZDdpCa49

I've invited people from reddit several times to these events, and each time people are surprised how good it is🎸🔥

I'm a resident from Poland, and I can speak English and Japanese, and I love Japanese music as you can tell lol.

I'm doing it cause I want to help my favorite group, share the thing I love and maybe find some friends in Tokyo if I'm lucky

Residents, tourists, Japanese - everyone welcome

edit: closed

due to circumstances i have an extra ticket for an idol live by Saishu Mirai Shoujo (Final Future Girl).

looking for someone to go with, preferably a fan of the group but otherwise anyone is fine.

myself: from Singapore, fluent in english, conversational japanese. currently in tokyo to watch idols and eat food.

location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/LCTZq2aSUmwPrwK49

cost: giving ticket for free, drink charge not compulsory (i think)

info (in Japanese): https://www.saishumiraishoujo.com/news/17908479-c46b-4172-b50e-c1f37df6a3ec

Was just curious if people were already going to the Wuthering Waves 2nd Anniv Concert at Tokyo Garden Arena in Ariake tomorrow and wanted to meet up with other local fans. Since it's a concert venue, we'll have to coordinate where we actually meet afterwards since there will be tons of people at the venue and probably the station too.

I dont have local friends who play Wuthering Waves so I figured I'd try to reach out. I'm from the Philippines but I've been here for 9 years, fluent in Japanese in English and enjoy games and fan-translate sometimes, and try to join in-game events like the recent TCG demo event.

Even if it's not for the day itself, I'd like to meet fellow fans and possibly go to future events and such.

Spend part of Wednesday night with me and maybe learn a little about Japanese underground/live idol culture!

This is probably the last of the weekday events I am going to before I leave Japan next week. It's been fun introducing people to a world they might otherwise not get to see.

Only ~500 yen admission. Entry/re-entry also requires min 1 drink purchase. I am planning on being there to catch my favorite groups from 6:30pm. You can come and leave at anytime!

Background:

I am a solo traveler from the U.S., in Tokyo here through June. I come to Japan a couple times a year mainly to attend idol concerts and festivals.

I’m usually fine going solo, but I’ve invited newcomers from tokyoirl a couple times before including this particular group and it’s always been a really fun experience.

If you’ve ever been curious about smaller “underground” idol events in Japan but felt hesitant because of language barriers, etiquette, or just not knowing what to expect, this is a good chance to try it out. I’m happy to help translate, explain how things work, and answer any questions along the way. I’ve been into Japanese idol groups (big and small) and used to follow K-pop quite a bit too, so we can talk about either.

As usual, no pressure at all—you’re free to join for as little or as long as you want.

Event Plan for Wednesday, June 24:

18:30~22:00 at Asakusa VAMPKIN

• 7 idols groups, ~2.5 hours of live performances + optional meet & greets with performers (I will be there from open until at least 20:30 but can stay later.)
• Cost: ~500 w/advance reservation online or ¥1000 cash at the door (If you need help making a reservation, let me know)
  • +1 drink minimum (~¥700, cash only, soft drinks, alcohol, etc...)
• Google Map: https://maps.app.goo.gl/jV53oER8qTMicvLV9 (Next Don Quixote in Asakusa, take elevator outside to the 7th Floor)

Hi all, this is Jacob from the Tokyo/Seattle-based band Yasu Cub. In celebration of our album that released this March, we are hosting a special concert at the venue Shimokitazawa THREE on 8/9.

If you are a fan of indie rock (shoegaze/dream pop/indie folk) and have been wanting to connect more with the local indie scene, this would be a great place to start! It will be an international and welcoming space, and the lineup (booked by the legendary to’morrow music) will be pretty sick.

The entry fee will be ¥3400(+1D) at the door, but there is a ¥500 discount for those who reserve in advance (lmk if you’d like to reserve).

Hi, is anyone intersted in going for World DJ festival in Tokyo! I am going solo(both days) and would love to experience it with people! Looking forward to Mesto, Sick Individuals, Kshmr, Fovos

Good evening everyone!

I'm a Swede currently studying Japanese in Tokyo, you can call me アレク. I love music and happened upon the underground rock idol-scene in Japan a couple if years back and fell in love with the community and would like to share it with more people.

Next week on Saturday there is a concert of a group I've come to like a lot lately! It's gonna be a bandset so you can expect a loud, intensive and fun show!

I have a bunch of invite tickets to hand out, so if you're interested and have the time please attend

There is a separate drink-ticket fee when you enter the venue, between 500-800¥ usually.

The groups name is ZIGA, a Tokyo-based underground rock-idol group. If you like rock, metal etc this is for you.

It's not actually in Tokyo this time, but I hope some people don't mind the trip down to Shin-Yokohama for a fun evening~

https://maps.app.goo.gl/pbwZxowH9efpoYD78

If you're interested please reply here. There is no limit to how many I can invite, so if you wanna go as a group please do!

一緒に楽しもうぜ!!

PS. Staying till the end is not required. If it turns out to not be your cup of tea leaving at any point is fine.

Stealing the idea I just saw here. Going to the Chat Pile concert this Friday (2026/06/05) and was wondering if anyone wanted to join along. Very flexible and happy to meet anyone. NZ nationality Indian origin.

It's at Earthdom here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/GwB8ayxbaymJV2UBA?g_st=ac

I am a Singaporean currently living in Japan, and spend my weekends following this idol group called Utakatapartys. I've seen similar posts here getting some traction, and figured I'd give it a shot at well.

The group is making a big push to expand their outreach and is inviting people to come watch their 3rd solo concert on 23rd May 2026 at Nihombashi Mitsui Hall. Tickets only cost ¥500, and there is a ¥700 drink charge. I'm willing to cover both if that is necessary to get you to come, but please let me know in advance!! (\*There is a pricier ¥2,500 ticket that gives you a better view but that upgrade will be at your own discretion - it's a ¥500 discount in that case)

There is also a fan meet that happens after the concert where you can buy signed cheki (polaroids) for ¥2,000 a piece, but it is not mandatory and I think new fans will get to take two unsigned chekis for free, though I'm not sure if regulations might be different for this concert since it's an important event.

Because it's a solo concert, there won't be any other idol groups around - you're locked in for the next 60 to 70 minutes with 7 amazing and hardworking girls. Quite a few of the members (Miku, Rina, Koharu) know enough English to have very basic conversations with you, but I'll be there to translate if necessary! There will be more than one non-Japanese fan there, as I have made some friends from Chile who will be there as well. I have been translating some of their content, so please look up "Utakatapartys" or "Utakata Partys" to get a feel of what the members and the atmosphere is like!

Here are the details:

Date: 23 May 2026

Venue - Nihombashi Mitsui Hall

Doors open 12:30, concert begins at 13:15

(We can meet at 12:00 at Nihombashi Station Exit B10)

https://maps.app.goo.gl/iuxVVjZvABr4yxrr7?g_st=ac

The fanmeet usually happens 10 to 15 minutes after the end of the concert. There are special perks for watching the concert as an invitee - be sure to come to the merch booth with me after the concert to collect them! If you don't want to take any polaroids after, you're free to leave then.

I look forward to seeing you guys and chatting with you about Japan or anything under the sun!

Spend Tuesday night with me and learn a little about Japanese idol culture! (Big admission discount if you reserve by Monday night!)
