What this is
This is a special release show celebrating the 40th anniversary of legendary Japanese garage rock trio THE 5.6.7.8's, presented by TIME BOMB RECORDS under the banner 'BOMBED'. The event marks the release of their new album 'Run Run Run', making it a landmark night in Japanese independent rock history. THE 5.6.7.8's are one of Japan's most iconic all-female rock bands, known internationally for their raw, surf-tinged garage sound and their memorable appearance in Quentin Tarantino's 'Kill Bill'. Four decades into their career, this show represents both a celebration of longevity and a statement of continued creative vitality from one of Japan's most enduring underground acts.
Who should go
This show is essential for fans of garage rock, surf punk, and Japanese underground music, as well as anyone who discovered THE 5.6.7.8's through 'Kill Bill' and wants to experience them live. Music lovers with an interest in Japan's independent rock scene will find this a rare and historically significant event. The intimate venue setting at SOCORE FACTORY promises a raw, high-energy atmosphere that suits the band's no-frills rock ethos perfectly. Arrive early to secure a good spot on the floor and pick up limited-edition merchandise, which typically sells out fast at anniversary shows of this nature.
Good to know
Tickets for this show are presented by TIME BOMB RECORDS — check their official website and social media channels, as well as eplus.jp and pia.jp, for purchasing options; both eplus and pia accept foreign credit cards and offer convenience store pickup at Lawson or FamilyMart, which is the most reliable option for visitors without a Japanese address. SOCORE FACTORY is a compact, all-standing live house in Osaka with an intimate capacity, meaning sight lines are generally excellent but the floor gets crowded quickly for popular acts. Cash is recommended at the venue bar and merchandise table, as smaller live houses in Japan often do not accept cards. Given the significance of this 40th anniversary milestone, the show may sell out — secure tickets well in advance.
