Good to know
Tickets for Yuya Ozaki shows are typically sold via eplus.jp or pia.jp; both platforms accept foreign credit cards, and convenience store pickup at Lawson (combini) is the most reliable collection method for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. BIGCAT is a mid-sized live music venue in Shinsaibashi's Amerika-Mura district with a capacity of around 1,000, and shows are generally all-standing on the main floor. Doors usually open 30–60 minutes before showtime, so arriving early is recommended to secure a good spot near the stage. The venue has a bar and merchandise area — cash is advisable as smaller venues in Japan often have limited card facilities. Bags larger than A4 may need to be checked at the entrance.
