![[Kanayan 60th Birthday Summer Fight Series] Round 2 GRAPEVINE vs THE GROOVERS — event in Tokyo](https://www.club-quattro.com/image/clubquattro/shop/shibuya/w750/260814grapevine.jpg)
What this is
Two veteran Japanese rock acts — GRAPEVINE and THE GROOVERS — share a stage for the second round of a birthday fight series celebrating someone called Kanayan's 60th year, framed as a mock 'battle' between bands. GRAPEVINE are a Osaka-born alt-rock institution known for literary lyrics and atmospheric guitar work, while THE GROOVERS are a hard-edged rock and roll outfit led by Fujii Kazuhiko. The 'fight series' format suggests a competitive, celebratory night with both bands playing sets and likely some crossover or banter between camps.
Who should go
Japanese rock fans who follow either band will find this a rare double-bill worth travelling for. Casual listeners unfamiliar with both acts may find the insider 'birthday battle' framing less engaging — this one skews toward dedicated fans of the domestic rock scene.
Good to know
Tickets are typically sold via eplus.jp or pia.jp — both accept foreign credit cards, and convenience store pickup at Lawson (combini) is the most reliable collection method for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. Club Quattro Shibuya is located on the upper floors of the Parco building in Shibuya and holds around 700 people; it is an all-standing venue with a compact floor that fills quickly for popular acts. Drinks are available at the bar and cash is the safest option at the venue, though some Quattro bars now accept IC cards. Bags larger than A4 may be subject to a bag check fee. Show duration for a double-bill of this type typically runs 2.5 to 3 hours including changeover.
