What this is
Pizza of Death Records — the punk label co-founded by Hi-STANDARD's Kenken Namba — brings its long-running "Fuck That Shit" showcase series to Osaka, this time featuring COUNTRY YARD, DRADNATS, HONESTKUZIRA, and others on the bill. These are tight, sweaty punk and hardcore sets in a small club format, the kind of show where the barrier between stage and crowd dissolves fast. Club Quattro Umeda keeps things intimate, which suits the energy of a Pizza of Death lineup perfectly.
Who should go
Japanese punk and hardcore fans, and anyone who follows the Pizza of Death roster. Foreign visitors with a background in Japanese punk will find this genuinely rewarding — this label and its acts have cult status in the scene.
Good to know
Tickets are sold via eplus.jp or pia.jp — both accept foreign credit cards, and convenience store pickup at Lawson is the most reliable option for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. Club Quattro Umeda is a standing live house with a capacity of roughly 700–800; it has a bar area and the sound is loud and close. Doors typically open 30–60 minutes before showtime — check the official Pizza of Death or venue social accounts for door/start times as they are not always listed on ticket pages. The under-18 discount (餓鬼割, ¥2,104) applies only to those aged 18 or under on the day of the show, and photo ID must be presented at entry — this applies to all attendees, so bring your passport. Cash is accepted at the bar; some merch tables at Pizza of Death shows are cash-only.
