What this is
A record release tour stop in Fukuoka, where jazz pianist Masaru Mamada and vocalist Ruri Shibuya perform material from their latest album. The tour title — Attack Tedake Rock! — suggests an energetic, playful set that likely blends jazz sensibility with something more forceful. Intimate live houses like BALLAD INN are where this kind of artist-fan connection tends to be at its best.
Who should go
Fans of Japanese jazz and vocal music, particularly those who follow either artist. A good fit for adults looking for a relaxed but musically serious evening out in Fukuoka.
Good to know
Tickets for smaller Japanese live tours like this are typically sold through eplus.jp or pia.jp — both accept foreign credit cards, though convenience store pickup at Lawson is the most hassle-free option for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. BALLAD INN is a small live music venue in Fukuoka, so capacity is likely limited and advance booking is strongly recommended. Arrive at least 30 minutes before doors open to collect tickets and get a good spot. Bring cash for drinks at the bar, as smaller venues often do not accept cards.
