What this is
Pinocchio-P is a celebrated Japanese Vocaloid producer and singer-songwriter known for his darkly whimsical, genre-blending electronic pop music that has amassed a massive following through platforms like NicoNico Douga and YouTube. His 2026 tour 'Underworld' brings his distinctive sound — characterized by eerie melodies, introspective lyrics, and layered electronic production — to venues across Japan. The Nagoya stop at Zepp Nagoya is part of this nationwide run, offering fans a rare chance to experience his studio-crafted world translated into a live setting. For fans of Vocaloid culture and Japanese internet music, this is a significant event from one of the scene's most artistically distinctive voices.
Who should go
This show is ideal for fans of Vocaloid music, Japanese internet culture, and electronic pop with a dark or surreal aesthetic. Attendees who follow NicoNico Douga creators, Hatsune Miku producers, or artists like DECO*27 and Kenshi Yonezu will feel right at home. The crowd tends to be passionate and knowledgeable, with a strong community atmosphere among longtime fans. Arrive early to browse any merchandise tables, as limited items typically sell out fast at Zepp shows.
Good to know
Tickets for this tour are sold via eplus.jp and pia.jp — both accept foreign credit cards, and Lawson convenience store pickup is the easiest option for visitors without a Japanese address. Zepp Nagoya holds approximately 1,500 and is an all-standing venue with a bar area at the rear; the atmosphere is typically intimate and loud. Doors usually open one hour before showtime, with the show starting shortly after. Bags larger than A4 size may need to be checked at the entrance, so travel light. Cash is recommended for merchandise purchases at the venue, as card readers are not always available at merch booths.
