Time Out says

With wall-to-wall live painting, live video-projected painting, a giant opalesecent moon dropping from the ceiling and a second floor balcony overlooking it all, this might be one of the most beautiful live music venues in Tokyo. The 200-capacity two-storey space is designed to put the music front and centre, with a low-key bar along the wall at stage right and tons of little tables on both the ground floor and balcony, giving you a great view of the stage from wherever you sit.

The magnificent lighting reflected off the hanging moon also means excellent live pics, and the sound system is superb enough to keep up with all of the venue's other manifold attractions. This one's definitely a favourite among locals, and though the venue is surprisingly hush-hush about this, it was also featured on HBO's 'Girls'.

Manic Sheep: Goodbye Blue Monday w/ Home, Dogo

In celebration of their latest release, Taipei post-rock quartet Manic Sheep are putting on a show at Aoyama’s Moon Romantic. Entitled Rewind 2014, the new drop is a collection of tracks originally written after the band's acclaimed self-titled debut. After a busy 10 years, the band revisited the songs in 2024, reworking them into a 12-track album that runs the gamut from shoegaze and dreampop to darker, more krautrock-influenced and instrumental pieces. Ultimately, the new album provides a snapshot of Taipei’s 2010s guitar-pop scene, one that the band describes as ‘the coolest, noisiest version of Taipei indie music’. Rewind 2014 also features guest vocals from Nobuki Akiyama of Tokyo’s DYGL. Manic Sheep are bringing Okinawa’s Home and Tokyo’s Dogo on board as support for this gig, which they’re calling Goodbye Blue Monday. Manic Sheep will also play a solo show at Spotify O-Nest the following night.
