What this is
Kohjiya THE KIDS NEVER MET SHOW is a major solo concert event by Kohjiya, scheduled to take place at the legendary Nippon Budokan in Tokyo on June 1, 2026. Nippon Budokan is one of Japan's most iconic and prestigious live music venues, and performing there is widely regarded as a milestone achievement for any Japanese artist. The event title 'THE KIDS NEVER MET SHOW' suggests a conceptually themed performance, likely drawing on Kohjiya's artistic identity and fanbase narrative. Playing Budokan signals this is a significant moment in Kohjiya's career, making it a landmark concert for dedicated followers of the artist.
Who should go
This show is ideal for fans of Kohjiya and followers of the contemporary Japanese music scene looking to witness a career-defining performance at one of the country's most storied venues. The atmosphere at Budokan concerts tends to be electric and communal, with a passionate crowd united around a shared love of the artist. Music lovers interested in experiencing a major Japanese live concert in an iconic setting will also find this compelling. Book tickets early, as Budokan shows by rising or established Japanese acts sell out quickly.
Good to know
Nippon Budokan has a capacity of approximately 14,000 for concerts and is a seated venue, though floor areas may be standing depending on the stage configuration — check your ticket carefully for seat or floor designation. Tickets are best purchased through eplus.jp, pia.jp, or Lawson Ticket; foreign credit cards are generally accepted on these platforms, and Lawson convenience store pickup (combini pickup) avoids any delivery complications for overseas visitors. The venue has bag check facilities, and large bags or backpacks may need to be checked at the door. Cash is recommended for merchandise and food stalls inside, as card acceptance at concession stands is not guaranteed. Doors typically open 60–90 minutes before showtime for Budokan events, and the venue fills up quickly, so plan to arrive early.
