Billboard Live Tokyo in Roppongi is a fantastic live music venue hosting musicians from Japan and around the world. A gig here comes with bonus views of the Tokyo nightscape through the massive glass walls behind the stage.

Billboard Live Tokyo is a far cry from mosh pit-style concerts. Imagine a more adult, intimate dinner club-style venue right in the heart of Roppongi, and you’ll be on the mark.

At Billboard Live, the main auditorium is divided into three levels. The lower two levels have table and sofa seating options, and the upper level has a ‘casual' standing area. (Wear some comfortable shoes if you’re on the top level.) All offer unobstructed views of the stage and its massive glass wall, through which you can see the spectacular Tokyo nightscape.
Gigs here aren’t restricted to a particular genre. On any given night you might have pop, rock, jazz, soul, or R&B acts. In that respect, it’s not all that different from other venues in town. But, there are few places in Tokyo where you can wine, dine, and watch your favorite musician perform right in front of you - if you’re sitting at one of the tables in front of the stage.
