How we count
Source: JGIG’s own listings of upcoming live house shows in Tokyo and Osaka, taken from the venues’ public schedules. Period: shows dated Oct 15, 2026 – Dec 31, 2026. Computed on Oct 15, 2026 (Japan time) and recomputed at least once a day.
Each number counts only the shows that list that value: the drink fee numbers use only shows with a drink fee, and ticket plus drink only shows that list both. The ticket price is the advance price, or the door price when no advance price is listed. Quartiles need at least 4 values; a median for one day or neighbourhood needs at least 5.
Values that look like listing errors are left out until they are checked: drink fees under ¥300 or from ¥1,000, tickets from ¥30,000, and start times from midnight to 5:59. This time that left out 1 drink fee, 2 ticket prices and 1 start time; the shows still count as shows.
These numbers describe the shows JGIG lists, not all live houses in Japan. They are a guide to typical prices and times, not a promise of a price or of door tickets: check each show’s official information.
