whitegrey 115 Posted June 3, 2011 pretty sure it's the best spot for seeing some oft the more major artists… I personally prefer RISING SUN up in the north… Their lineup is a bit more on the indie side but nonetheless very good (you just won't see artists like Perfume there). The 2011 is not final jet - still more to come; http://rsr.wess.co.jp/2011/en/lineup/index.html But I've never been to Rock in Japan - the one time I wanted to it was sold out already… I've been to RISING SUN once and it was nice - but also exhausting (Festivals = long walks, not much sleep, long waiting lines for stuff… and so on). Said so I prefer the local Livehouse-scene in Tokyo… But those festivals are a good chance to see lot's of bands in a short time period… of corse you'll be able to catch only 1/3 or 1/2 of it because it happens on different stages and stuff.
