Good to know
Tickets are most reliably purchased via eplus.jp or pia.jp, both of which accept foreign credit cards; choose convenience store pickup at Lawson to avoid delivery complications. SOCORE FACTORY is a mid-sized live music venue in Osaka's Taisho area with a capacity of around 500–700, operating as an all-standing floor venue with a bar area — cash is recommended for drinks and merchandise. Doors typically open 30–60 minutes before showtime, and bag check may be available but space is limited, so travel light. Photo and video policies at Japanese metal shows typically prohibit professional cameras and recording during performances, though phone photography during the show varies by artist — check the venue's social media closer to the date. Foreign visitors should note that merchandise sells out fast at Japanese metal shows, so head to the merch table as soon as doors open.
