This Sunday I went over to Club Quattro in Shinsaibashi in Osaka and saw Sparta Locals, all by my lonesome self. Nonetheless, the concert was amazing, the whiskey was enjoyable and the general crowd/band dynamic was admirable. There is a certain sense of organization and regimentation that the Japanese appreciate much more than we do in America. Concerts generally start at 6 or 7 PM and lateness is not tolerated. The crowd cheers when appropriate and shuts up when appropriate also. This is in stark contrast to any concert I've seen in America, where drunken yells of "LOUDER!" often ruin the most beautiful moments of songs.
Here's my concert schedule for the upcoming few months. Additions are being made every few days, so it's still a tad incomplete.
October 3 OGRE YOU ASSHOLE at Shangri La
October 11 NAGISA NI TE at Musica Japonica
November 1 AFURIRANPO AND SQUIAMOTO, along with a member of Bufallo Daughter at Sound Channel
November 27 POLYSICS at Namba Hatch
December 12 ZAZEN BOYS at Namba Hatch
December 14 BORIS in Tokyo (doubt I'll make it to this one)

That's my must see list. I also have some other random plans here and there to go to whatever livehouses (clubs) whenever I'm bored. Probably go to Musica Japonica this weekend. A few bands are playing. Could be fun.
