Faqs
What is the significance of the “60th Birthday Tour” for Ningen Isu?
In Japan, the 60th birthday is known as Kanreki, symbolizing a return to the beginning of the zodiac cycle and a “rebirth.” The tour celebrates this milestone for the founding members, signifying their enduring passion and the start of a new chapter in their musical journey.
What does “Standing” seating mean for Ningen Isu concerts?
Standing seating means there are no assigned chairs on the main floor. Attendees enter in order of the serial number on their ticket; once inside, you can choose your standing position. It creates a high-energy environment typical of heavy metal shows.
Is there a way to get tickets for the Takamatsu show even if it is listed as sold out?
Yes, we can help you find tickets through verified Japanese secondary marketplaces. Even when official primary sales are finished, these platforms allow us to source legitimate tickets from fans who can no longer attend, ensuring you don’t miss out.
Why is the Zepp DiverCity Tokyo show listed with “2F Reserved” seats?
Zepp venues feature a balcony with fixed chairs. These “2F Reserved” seats are ideal for those who prefer a dedicated spot with an unobstructed view of the stage and the band’s elaborate costumes without standing on the main floor.
Are there additional fees I should be aware of at the venue?
Most Japanese live houses require a separate drink fee (usually around 600 yen) to be paid in cash at the door. You will receive a drink token that can be used at the venue bar for a beverage of your choice.
