What this is
A label showcase tour from Zestone Records, bringing their roster to Kokura FUSE in Fukuoka Prefecture for a live music night under the banner 'Zest for Living.' Independent record label tours like this tend to feature multiple acts from the same stable, making them a good way to discover emerging Japanese artists in one sitting. Kokura FUSE is a compact live house that keeps the atmosphere close and energetic.
Who should go
Fans of independent Japanese music scenes and anyone curious about what Zestone Records is putting out in 2026. Best suited to adults who enjoy discovering new acts in a small live house setting.
Good to know
Tickets for independent label tours in Japan are typically sold via eplus.jp or pia.jp, both of which accept foreign credit cards; convenience store pickup at Lawson or FamilyMart is the most reliable option for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. Kokura FUSE is a small live house, so capacity is limited — buying tickets in advance is strongly recommended rather than hoping for door sales. Arrive at least 30 minutes before doors open to collect tickets and get a good spot; small live houses in Japan are almost always standing. Cash is useful for drinks and merchandise at the venue, though some smaller venues now accept IC cards.
