What this is
Oshima Kaoru and Geist Viewing Party is a collaborative screening event taking place at LOFT/PLUS ONE in Tokyo in July 2026. The event brings together works or presentations by Oshima Kaoru alongside Geist in a curated viewing party format. LOFT/PLUS ONE is a well-established Tokyo talk and live event venue known for hosting niche, artist-driven, and subculture programming in an intimate bar-style setting. Events like this sit within Tokyo's independent creative media scene, offering audiences direct access to experimental or independent content in a communal atmosphere.
Who should go
This event is ideal for fans of independent film, video art, experimental media, and artist-led programming who enjoy discovering work outside mainstream channels. The viewing party format at LOFT/PLUS ONE creates an intimate, community-oriented atmosphere where like-minded creatives gather — expect a relaxed but engaged crowd. Those curious about contemporary Japanese underground or alternative media culture will find this a rewarding entry point. Arrive early, as entry is by numbered ticket order and seating is unreserved and likely limited.
Good to know
Tickets are sold exclusively through LivePocket (livepocket.jp), a Japanese ticketing platform that accepts foreign credit cards — create an account in advance and purchase before the event as door availability is unconfirmed. LOFT/PLUS ONE is a small basement venue in Shinjuku's Kabukicho district with a capacity of roughly 200–250, featuring a bar and table seating in a relaxed, izakaya-style layout. One drink purchase is mandatory upon entry, and food and additional drinks are charged separately — the venue is card-friendly but having some cash on hand is useful. Re-entry is strictly not permitted, so plan your evening accordingly and arrive before the numbered entry begins to secure a preferred seat.
