What this is
SARD UNDERGROUND is a Japanese pop-rock trio formed in 2019, consisting of members who rose to prominence through their polished vocal harmonies and melodic sound. The group gained widespread recognition by performing cover versions of classic J-pop and anime songs, particularly tracks associated with the legendary group ZARD, before establishing their own original discography. Their live performances are known for tight musicianship and an emotionally resonant setlist that blends nostalgia with contemporary J-pop energy. This June 2026 concert at Kumamoto B.9 V1 brings the group to one of Kyushu's most respected live music venues for what promises to be an intimate and high-energy show.
Who should go
This event is ideal for fans of melodic J-pop, anime music, and anyone who grew up listening to ZARD or 1990s–2000s Japanese pop. The intimate venue setting makes it a great choice for those who want a close, personal concert experience rather than a large arena show. Music lovers visiting Kumamoto who want to experience authentic Japanese live music culture will find this a rewarding evening. Arrive early to secure a good spot on the floor and pick up any merchandise before the show begins.
Good to know
Tickets for SARD UNDERGROUND shows 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 collection method for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. Kumamoto B.9 V1 is a well-established mid-sized live house in Kumamoto city with a standing floor layout and an intimate atmosphere suited to close-up performances. The venue has a bar area and merchandise booth — arrive at least 45 minutes before doors open to queue for goods and claim a good floor position. Cash is recommended for drinks and merchandise purchases at the venue, as card acceptance at smaller live houses in Japan can be inconsistent.
