HOW CAN I WATCH JAPANESE ONLINE CONCERT LIVE STREAMS?

Buying tickets for the online live streaming is usually very similar to buying tickets for a regular concert!

This is the general process (there are exceptions):

1st step: Go to the ticket sales page (see “Info & Ticket” links above) and purchase the e-ticket.

2nd step: You will receive a ticket purchase confirmation by email. It includes all the show details and a link to the stream.

3rd step: The stream will start at the time indicated on the ticket. Get your popcorn and light sticks ready and enjoy the show! The stream is in real-time but a recording will usually also be available for a very limited time after the live stream has ended (as “archive” stream).
