What this is
Two of Japan's most theatrical heavy metal acts — THE冠 and SEX MACHINEGUNS — hit the road together for a joint tour landing at Nagoya's RAD HALL. SEX MACHINEGUNS are something of a cult institution in Japanese metal, known for absurdist lyrics about ramen and samurai delivered at full thrash velocity. Expect a sweaty, high-energy room with a crowd that knows every word.
Who should go
Japanese metal and hardcore fans, and anyone curious about the wilder, more comedic end of Japan's heavy music scene. Not a casual drop-in gig — this is for people who want to be in the pit.
Good to know
Tickets are typically sold via 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. RAD HALL is a compact live house with a standing floor and limited capacity, so tickets may sell out in advance — don't leave it to the door. Bring cash for merchandise and drinks at the bar. Bags larger than A4 may need to be stored. Doors usually open 30–60 minutes before showtime; arriving at door open is strongly recommended for a good spot.
