What this is
nano.RIPE — the indie folk-rock duo beloved by anime fans for contributing opening and ending themes to series like Hanasaku Iroha, Sankarea, and Flying Witch — marks their 16th year as a band with a five-show anniversary tour focused entirely on their anime theme songs and signature works. The setlist draws from a catalogue built almost entirely around anime tie-ins, making this a rare chance to hear those tracks performed live in intimate club settings. Four cities are covered across September 2026: Kanazawa, Nagoya, Osaka, and Tokyo.
Who should go
Anime music fans who know nano.RIPE's catalogue will get the most out of this. The small venue sizes and club atmosphere suit solo attendees and pairs rather than large groups.
Good to know
Tickets are sold via LivePocket as digital-only — foreign visitors should register on the platform before general sales open on June 6, 2026 at 10:00 JST, as popular shows can sell out quickly; foreign credit cards are generally accepted on LivePocket. Up to 4 tickets can be purchased per person, and anyone aged 3 and over requires a paid ticket. Shibuya CLUB QUATTRO is a well-known standing live house on the upper floors of the Parco building in Shibuya, holding around 800 people — arrive near door-open time to secure a good spot on the floor. Kanazawa AZ and ell.FITS ALL Nagoya are smaller club venues, so the atmosphere will be close and intimate. Cash is typically useful for merchandise purchases at the venue.
