What this is
Kiyoharu — the brooding, visually striking vocalist who rose to fame fronting Kuroyume in the 1990s visual kei scene — performs at HEAVEN'S ROCK Kumagaya on a summer evening in 2026. His solo career has spanned decades of dark, melodic rock with a devoted cult following that has never really faded. Shows at this scale are intimate by design, a far cry from the arena tours of his peak years.
Who should go
Dedicated fans of 1990s visual kei and Japanese alternative rock. Casual listeners unfamiliar with Kuroyume or his solo catalogue will find less to grab onto here.
Good to know
Tickets for Kiyoharu shows typically go through eplus.jp or pia.jp, both of which accept foreign credit cards; convenience store pickup at Lawson (combini) is the most reliable collection method for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. HEAVEN'S ROCK Kumagaya is a mid-sized live house with a standing floor and a capacity in the several-hundred range, giving the show an up-close, club-like atmosphere. Arrive at least 30–45 minutes before doors open to secure a good standing position. The venue is cash-friendly for drinks and merchandise, though card payment is increasingly accepted at the bar. Photo and video recording during performances is generally prohibited at Kiyoharu shows — check the official event page for the specific policy.
