What this is
An intimate afternoon concert pairing vocalist Ogawa Mishio and guitarist/composer Yoshimori Shin in a daylight session at BLUE Enoshima, a small live music venue steps from the sea in Enoshima. The 'By the Side of Song' series suggests a stripped-back, song-focused format — likely acoustic or semi-acoustic, with the coastal setting of Enoshima adding a distinctly unhurried summer atmosphere. SR_BLUE is the presenting series, implying a curated, recurring programme rather than a one-off gig.
Who should go
Fans of Japanese acoustic or contemporary folk music who enjoy small-venue intimacy. The daytime coastal setting makes it a natural fit for a relaxed solo outing or a quiet date — less suited to those expecting a high-energy evening show.
Good to know
Tickets for small curated live series like SR_BLUE are typically sold through eplus.jp or pia.jp — both accept foreign credit cards, and convenience store pickup at Lawson or FamilyMart is the most reliable option for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. BLUE Enoshima is a small, intimate venue with limited capacity, so tickets are likely to sell out well in advance; booking early is strongly advised. Arrive with time to explore Enoshima island before the show — the approach along the main shopping street (Benzaiten Nakamise-dori) takes about 10 minutes from the bridge. Cash is recommended for any in-venue drinks or merchandise, as smaller live houses often do not accept cards at the bar.
