Concerts

I'm going to be in Tokyo for about three months starting in October. Does anybody know any j-pop or j-rock concerts that might be happening in Tokyo around that time? I tried looking it up but came up with nothing, so maybe there is nothing, but still if anybody knows I'd appreciate it. I like most big name pop and rock artists, from Gackt to Do As Infinity and a lot in between, so any big concerts would be cool to find out about.

oOHh, that`ll be fun, that`s a long time! uhmm.. i know right off the bat that hamasaki ayumi will have her "countdown live". there are normally two performances and not just one, cause just one.. would be kind of a waste of a nice set and everything, ya know? tickets normally go on sale a little later and start at... i think 6,500 yen? i dun remember. but the two performances are on dec.30th and dec 31st. both are held at yoyogi hall which is literally a 5 minute walk from the harajyuku train station (going right), and then from yoyogi hall is literally another 5-10 minute walk to NHK hall (if just curious, heh, all next to each other). hope this helps if didn`t know already~. i can tell you i went to ayu`s countdown last year, dec 30th performance, and it was awsomely rockin`! such close view too! good luck w/ the concert find. if i find anything randomly, i`ll post another reply! -bu

Info for fall tours will start popping up in July or August, winter tour dates in September or October. Just check out the sites of the artists you want to see and they'll usually have tour dates.

Dir en grey has part of their fall tour schedule up, if you're interested in them. http://www.direngrey.co.jp/englishsite/livenews.html
