What to expect in 2026

Anamanaguchi Live 2026 will bring the New York-based band Anamanaguchi back to Japan for the first time in approximately 12 years. The Tokyo concert will take place on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, at duo MUSIC EXCHANGE in Shibuya, with Chip Tanaka appearing as the support artist. The official promoter describes the return as a long-awaited Japan performance after a 12-year absence.

Anamanaguchi are known for combining a traditional rock-band setup with 8-bit and video-game-inspired electronic sounds. Their music has developed from early chiptune experimentation into a broader mix of indie rock, punk, electronic music, pop and video-game culture.

The 2026 concert arrives during a particularly active period for the band. Their latest album, Anyway, was released in 2025 and represents a more direct, band-oriented sound while retaining the digital character associated with Anamanaguchi. The official band website describes the album as a move toward fuzzy guitars, group harmonies, explosive drums and a more human, physical approach to their music.

The live set is expected to draw from both the newer Anyway material and well-known songs from the band’s earlier catalog. Recent 2026 performances have included tracks such as “Sparkler,” “Lieday,” “Air on Line,” “Magnet,” “Another Winter,” “Valley of Silence,” “Rage (Kitchen Sink),” “Endless Fantasy,” “Miku,” “Darcie,” “Buckwild,” “Meow” and “Prom Night.”

For Japanese fans, the concert has additional significance because it is not simply another stop on a regular domestic tour. It represents Anamanaguchi’s return to Japan after roughly a dozen years, with a current touring lineup and a new generation of songs from the Anyway era.

Event dates

Performance date

Tuesday, October 13, 2026

Venue

duo MUSIC EXCHANGE, Shibuya, Tokyo

Doors open

6:00 PM

Show starts

7:00 PM

The official SMASH listing confirms the 6:00 PM doors and 7:00 PM start time. The event is scheduled as a single Tokyo performance rather than a multi-day Japanese festival.

Because this is the band’s only announced Japan performance, fans traveling from outside Tokyo should plan around October 13. International visitors may find it practical to arrive in Tokyo at least one day earlier, particularly because the concert is scheduled for the evening.

The current official ticket listing allows purchases through October 12, subject to availability.

Venue & festival site

The concert will be held at duo MUSIC EXCHANGE, an established live music venue in Tokyo’s Shibuya district.

Venue address

2-14-8 Dogenzaka, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-0043, Japan

The venue is located on the first floor of the O-EAST Building in Dogenzaka. Official access information places it approximately 10 minutes on foot from Shibuya Station’s Hachiko Exit.

This is an indoor club concert rather than an outdoor festival. There will therefore be no separate festival grounds, camping area or multiple outdoor stages.

The venue’s compact setting is particularly suitable for Anamanaguchi’s energetic live presentation. The band’s music combines guitars, drums, electronic sounds and video-game-inspired production, making a standing club environment a natural fit for the performance.

The O-EAST area is also one of Shibuya’s established live-music zones, surrounded by restaurants, convenience stores, nightlife venues and shopping streets. Visitors can easily combine the concert with a broader Shibuya itinerary.

Full lineup

Anamanaguchi

Anamanaguchi are the main and headline act for the October 13 performance. The band currently consists of Peter Berkman, James DeVito, Ary Warnaar and Luke Silas, combining guitar, bass, drums and electronic/chiptune production.

Chip Tanaka

Chip Tanaka will appear as the official support artist. The support appearance is specifically confirmed by both SMASH and Ticket Pia.

Chip Tanaka is the performing name associated with Hirokazu Tanaka, the Japanese composer and musician known for his work connected with video-game music. His appearance gives the Tokyo show an especially strong connection to the broader Japanese game-music and electronic-music tradition.

No additional opening artist is currently listed in the official event information.

Headliners & featured artists

Anamanaguchi

Anamanaguchi are the principal attraction of the Tokyo concert. The band emerged from online and chiptune communities and became known for using video-game technology and aesthetics as part of a live rock-band format. Their official biography highlights early work involving game consoles, netlabel releases, Minecraft performances and collaborations with Hatsune Miku and Rocket League.

Their best-known catalog includes material from Endless Fantasy, [USA], the Scott Pilgrim game soundtrack and Anyway. The band also contributed substantially to Scott Pilgrim Takes Off and has maintained a strong connection with game culture throughout its career.

Chip Tanaka

Chip Tanaka will provide support for the Tokyo concert. His appearance is particularly relevant for listeners interested in the meeting point between Japanese game music, electronic composition and Anamanaguchi’s own chiptune background.

Stages & performance areas

This is a single-stage indoor concert.

Main stage

Anamanaguchi will perform on the main stage of duo MUSIC EXCHANGE. The audience area is standing, so there are no standard assigned seating sections for the concert.

Support performance area

Chip Tanaka will appear as the support artist before the main Anamanaguchi set. The exact staging arrangement and equipment setup have not been published.

Audience floor

The standing floor is the primary audience area. Fans who want a position closer to the stage should generally arrive earlier, particularly because the concert is expected to attract both long-time fans and Japanese listeners attending Anamanaguchi for the first time.

Event rules

Age restrictions

Preschool children are not permitted to enter the concert. Elementary-school students and older require their own ticket.

Standing admission

The concert is a standing event. Visitors should expect to spend most of the performance standing rather than using assigned seats.

Ticket limit

A maximum of four tickets can be purchased by one customer.

Ticket formats

Paper and electronic tickets are both supported.

Personal information

SMASH notes that personal information is collected from ticket purchasers as part of the ticketing process.

Venue age restriction after 10:00 PM

duo MUSIC EXCHANGE states that people under 20 are not permitted to enter the venue after 10:00 PM and that visitors should carry government-issued photo identification for age verification after that time.

Because the concert is scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM, most of the event should fall before this threshold, but guests should still carry appropriate identification.

How to get there

duo MUSIC EXCHANGE is located in Dogenzaka, one of Shibuya’s busiest entertainment areas.

From Shibuya Station, use the Hachiko Exit and walk toward SHIBUYA 109. Continue along Dogenzaka and follow the venue’s official directions. The venue is on the first floor of the O-EAST Building.

The official route describes continuing along Dogenzaka, turning at the second Seven-Eleven on the right and locating the O-EAST Building opposite a Lawson convenience store.

The walk takes approximately 10 minutes from Shibuya Station’s Hachiko Exit.

Because Shibuya Station can be confusing for first-time visitors, international attendees should allow additional time to exit the station and locate the correct street.

Public transport & parking

JR

Shibuya Station is served by the JR Yamanote Line and provides easy connections from Tokyo, Shinjuku, Shinagawa and other major districts.

Private railways

The station is also served by the Tokyu Toyoko Line and Keio Inokashira Line.

Tokyo Metro

Useful subway connections include the Ginza Line, Fukutoshin Line and Hanzomon Line. The Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line also provides access to Shibuya.

Walking

The official venue access guide gives approximately 10 minutes from Shibuya Station’s Hachiko Exit.

Parking

The venue does not advertise dedicated concert parking. Because the venue is located in central Shibuya, public transportation is the more practical option for most visitors.

Guests who must drive should use a commercial parking facility in the wider Dogenzaka/Shibuya area and check operating hours and evening rates before arriving.

Accommodation areas

Shibuya

Shibuya is the most convenient area for concert attendees. Hotels around Shibuya Station place visitors close to the venue, restaurants, shopping and late-night transportation.

Ebisu

Ebisu provides a quieter alternative while remaining very close to Shibuya by train. It is useful for visitors who want convenient access to the concert without staying directly in the busiest part of Shibuya.

Shinjuku

Shinjuku offers a broad range of hotels and strong rail connections. It is a practical base for visitors planning additional Tokyo sightseeing.

Harajuku and Omotesando

These neighborhoods are close to Shibuya and provide access to fashion districts, cafes, restaurants and cultural attractions.

Tokyo Station and Marunouchi

Visitors arriving internationally or traveling onward by Shinkansen may prefer to stay around Tokyo Station. The area is farther from the venue but has excellent connections across Tokyo and Japan.

Food & drink

Shibuya provides extensive dining choices around the concert venue. Visitors can find ramen, Japanese izakaya, curry, sushi, burgers, cafes and international restaurants within walking distance.

Before the concert

A meal around Shibuya Station or Dogenzaka is convenient before entering the venue. Because doors open at 6:00 PM, visitors should allow sufficient time to eat and walk to the venue.

Convenience stores

Several convenience stores are located around Dogenzaka, making it easy to purchase snacks and drinks before the show.

Venue drinks

The official event listing states that a separate drink charge applies to the concert ticket.

After the show

Shibuya remains active late into the evening, although visitors should check their last train times if they are staying outside the immediate Shibuya area.

Accessibility

Accessibility arrangements should be confirmed with duo MUSIC EXCHANGE or SMASH before attending because this is a standing club concert and individual accessibility needs may require advance coordination.

The venue is on the first floor of the O-EAST Building, which avoids the need for visitors to reach a high-floor concert hall. The official venue information provides telephone contact for inquiries.

Guests requiring wheelchair access, a chair for medical reasons or other assistance should contact the venue before the event and explain their requirements.

Venue contact

duo MUSIC EXCHANGE: +81-3-5459-8716

The venue lists general telephone hours from noon to 7:00 PM.

For visitors who find prolonged standing difficult, contacting the venue before the concert is particularly important because the published ticket category is standing admission.

Best days to attend

There is only one announced Tokyo performance, so fans cannot choose between multiple Japanese concert dates.

Tuesday, October 13, 2026

This is the sole scheduled Japan appearance and the main opportunity to see Anamanaguchi perform in Tokyo during this return visit.

The concert’s 7:00 PM start also makes it possible to spend the earlier part of the day exploring Tokyo. Shibuya itself provides numerous attractions, including the Hachiko area, Shibuya Scramble, Center Street, Miyashita Park and the wider Harajuku and Omotesando districts.

For visitors traveling specifically for the concert, arriving in Tokyo on October 12 or earlier can provide a more comfortable schedule and reduce the risk of transport delays affecting concert entry.

Previous year’s highlights

The most relevant previous-year context is Anamanaguchi’s 2025 album and touring period. The band released Anyway in August 2025, a 12-track album that marked an important development in their sound. The album includes “Sparkler,” “Rage (Kitchen Sink),” “Magnet,” “Lieday,” “Come for us,” “Buckwild,” “Sapphire,” “Valley of Silence,” “Fall Away,” “Darcie,” “Really like to” and “Nightlife.”

The band’s 2025 touring repertoire combined these new songs with older material. The average 2025 setlist included “Sparkler,” “Lieday,” “Buckwild,” “Air on Line,” “Magnet,” “Rage (Kitchen Sink),” “Meow,” “Prom Night,” “Darcie,” “Another Winter,” “Fall Away,” “Miss the Rage,” “Really like to,” “Miku,” “Valley of Silence” and “Endless Fantasy.”

The 2026 touring cycle has continued this blend. European performances in May included “Sparkler,” “Lieday,” “Air on Line,” “Magnet,” “Rage (Kitchen Sink),” “Miss the Rage,” “Endless Fantasy,” “Lorem Ipsum,” “Really like to,” “Tear,” “We Die,” “Prom Night,” “Darcie,” “Buckwild,” “Miku,” “On My Own” and “Another Winter,” with “Meow” appearing as an encore.

The July 2026 Mexico City performance similarly combined new Anyway material with established fan favorites and finished with “Meow” and “Prom Night” as the encore.

For the Tokyo concert, these recent setlists provide useful context but do not guarantee the final October 13 song order.

Official tickets

Tickets are available through the authorized Japanese ticketing services.
