Japanese Punk,hardcore and metal in okinawa

[Doomsville]

So I am new to the island of okinawa and have a healthy amount of time here. Back in the states I was big into music going to shows and booking my own. Specifically the genre's in the title. So I was wondering if there were any venues/bars that have this type of music that is live. I am familiar with a few bands from the japan region such as Naiad, Nature Living, Endzweck, Lostage, Envy, edge of spirit. Any info or locations would be greatly appreciated! Have a great day!

Hm.. I did some searching on the Reallife Recordings page, but could not find anything. I did find a Band called Chainsool, I believe they are from Okinawa . Good luck!!

Hey, how are you??

Well, I don't know very much about Okinawa, but I found this Live Houses, I'm not sure if you can find there what you're looking for:

I just know places in Tokyo where you can find good music and punk gigs, like 20,000V, Shinjuku Loft, Antiknock etc etc. By the way, in may there will be 2 awesome shows in Shinjuku Earthdom, if you have the time and money, you should try!!

For the punk gigs I usually check the schedules in certain live houses, as the ones I've told you before, because in there they usually have punk shows (specially Earthdom and 20.000V) And there, you can check in the "link page" for other live houses around Japan and their schedules. Live houses usually have a full schedule for 1 or 2 months and don't change or cancel shows easily.

And yeah, it has happened to me several times and that really sucks! hahaha
