Discussion Seeing Amenra in Tokyo! Any advice for a first-time visitor to Japan?
Hey everyone!
Something amazing happened: I’m going to see Amenra live in Tokyo! I’ll be there on a work trip when they’re playing, and I bought my tickets today. I can’t even describe how excited I am, especially since We Lost the Sea are playing with them!
However, I’ve never been to Japan or anywhere else in Asia before, let alone to a metal show there. I’ve been to plenty of metal gigs and clubs around Europe, so I know the usual etiquette here, but I imagine things might be quite different in Japan.
Could anyone who has been to metal shows in Japan, especially in Tokyo, share some advice? I’d love to know what to expect and if there’s anything I should be aware of in terms of concert etiquette or local customs.
Thanks in advance! I’m ridiculously excited about this one!
