Checking Schedules

The best way to check what lives are happening on what day (without going through every single livehouse's schedule) is to check Visunavi. It's a great website. Just click "live schedule" and then click on the month and day you want to check if there is a concert. It shows all the visual kei concerts across Japan for that particular day.

Okayama 岡山

Thank god for this city that`s relatively near me, that`s all I can say. It sucks it`s across the bridge though.

Visual kei concert experience

This is a great article from Jame-world that talks about visual kei concert etiquette in Japan. Check it out! I will write a blog post about it myself later.

"Visual kei is a particularly meticulous scene with fans that follow bands often like a life line. These shows are unlike any others within Japan. While a normal rock or punk concert is reminiscent of the wild and often erratic behavior seen in western countries with crowd surfing and individualistic conduct, visual kei fans are orderly, uniform and precise – sometimes to an abnormal level."
