What this is
Performing an entire album front-to-back, Yasuhiro Abe revisits his 1993 release 'Dear.' — described as a hidden gem in his discography — with fresh interpretations alongside the close collaborators who helped shape its original sound. The set draws from a record known for its compositional diversity, making this a rare chance to hear material that rarely surfaces in standard setlists.
Who should go
Dedicated fans of Yasuhiro Abe and listeners curious about deeper cuts from Japanese pop and singer-songwriter catalogues of the early 1990s. Casual attendees unfamiliar with 'Dear.' may find the complete-album format less accessible.
Good to know
Tickets for events at SHIBUYA PLEASURE PLEASURE are typically sold via 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. SHIBUYA PLEASURE PLEASURE is a seated, mid-capacity live hall seating roughly 300–400, with a relaxed atmosphere suited to attentive listening rather than standing crowds. Arrive at least 30 minutes before showtime to collect tickets and get settled. The venue is a short walk from Shibuya Station's various exits — follow signs toward the Mark City or Dogenzaka side depending on your line. Cash is useful for merchandise purchases at the venue.
