What this is
Half a century of life and 25 years of one-man wrestling spectacle collide in a single night at one of Tokyo's most storied underground venues. Rock Action Star Lee Nakagawa is a performer who blends rock music with solo wrestling theatrics — a genuinely singular act that defies easy categorisation. This milestone show at Shimokitazawa SHELTER is a birthday and anniversary celebration rolled into one, promising the raw, high-energy chaos that has made Nakagawa a cult figure in Tokyo's underground scene.
Who should go
Fans of Tokyo's underground performance scene, curious expats who want something genuinely unlike anything back home, and anyone who has ever wondered what a one-man wrestling rock show actually looks like.
Good to know
Tickets for events at Shimokitazawa SHELTER are typically sold through eplus.jp or pia.jp, both of which accept foreign credit cards; convenience store pickup at Lawson (combini) is the most reliable option for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. SHELTER is a compact basement live house with a capacity of around 250–300, all standing, with a bar along the back wall — it gets hot and loud quickly, which is very much part of the appeal. Doors usually open 30–60 minutes before showtime, and arriving at door open is advisable for a milestone event like this that may sell out. Photo and video policies vary by artist, so check the event page or ask staff on the night. The venue is cash-preferred for drinks and merch.
