We enjoyed a very interesting show for modern Kabuki. It was funny and unexpected, really cool to watch...But: We were a bit lost!
We are not Japanese speaking and that was really too bad! There was so much going on; storyplay, music, slapstick, dance.... people in the audience throwing little fluffy things, shouting, clapping...
I would like to suggest, that if you offer this show to international tourists, there should be at least a small introduction in the play and the characters in english. It does not need much, a little paper handout with the basics and it would help understand and appreciate even more! Thank you!

Decided to watch this after watching Tokyo Idols on Netflix. The girls and their audience were really fascinating to watch :)
It really was exactly as protrayed in the documentary. Didn't stay for the handshake event though :)

What a great experience. It was so much fun to watch the interaction between the crowd and the performers. We really enjoyed the music and the girls are so cute. Some of their lines got great spontaneous laughs, I wish I understood Japanese. This was a highlight of our trip to Tokyo.

We were keen to check out the show after seeing it profiled on Joanna Lumley's Japan. It definitely delivered on the quirk factor, with mostly middle aged men dressed in cosplay, from Alice in Wonderland to a fairy-winged bowling pin as much of a spectacle as the performers they came to see. The good vibes were infectious and I found myself starting to sing along to the catchy pop lyrics. Each song has its own actions which the audience diligently follow, waving their glow stick when their particular 'idol' sang a solo. It was too much sensory overload to stay for the whole show but we enjoyed the experience.

The concert was entertaining and provided a glimpse into the otaku culture. The fans were as great to watch as the Japanese idols themselves. Each person will get 1,500 yen worth of food coupon, which can be used to redeem about one small snack, one soda and one bottled water.

FIRST OFF
When my friend and I came down to view the show, we had some issues with people at the front desk & the people on the actual floor running the event, they didn't speak any english at all and us being foreigners didn't help but we were able to communicate through the blessed google translator app.
We had a miscommunication on whether or not our tickets were bought already, after 5 minutes of trying to understand each other we finally got in.
Once we got in the concert started right away and man the crowd is LIT AF. The idols performances were outstanding, the crowd knew the dance moves and danced their souls out with their favorite girls on stage, it really made you want to do the same, but we didn't know any of the dances so we just stood their and drank and enjoyed the show!
Afterwards the idols actually come down to the dance floor area where they introduce themselves and also do a Q&A section, we didn't stay for this because we barely knew any japanese.
Also the price point for these tickets are simply too cheap, you're literally paying for admission and like 3 alcoholic drinks or a few snacks. IT'S NUTS! mind you we bought for a weekday show & not the weekend one, so i believe the ticketing is different on weekends, but again, these tickets I feel are waaaay to cheap to even be sold for something so worth experiencing.
PROS
- great performances (aka cute girls on stage)
- j-pop genre
- food is alright (included with voucher)
- drinks (included with voucher)
- affordable experience at $15 - $20 a ticket (USD)
CONS
- no video or photo is allowed at ALL, being a vlogger and not being able to vlog is a total bummer.
- no outdoor drinks, they will search all your bags.
ADD THIS TO YOUR LIST OF THINGS TO DO IN AKIHABARA YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
PS. hit up a daiso & pick up some glow sticks, you'll understand what I mean when you go!

first of all I was impressed by Veltra trying to contact me when there was a time change in the concert. They emailed me, they called my cell phone and when those failed they called my hotel. Great communication.
The Alice Project concert/show was really good and full of energy. The crowd was part of the show as they participated in every song. the girls sang and danced well and seemed to be having fun. We do not having anything like this in the USA so I would recommend it to any visitor to experience Akiba craziness.
The only bad part was no pictures were allowed. Those would be nice to share with folks back home or to even post here.

This is an amazing evening and really good value. It is not only an insight in to the life of the Japanese male Idol fan but an amazing evening of listening and watching a very talented band of girl singers. The backing music is really cool, rocky and even heavy metal in parts and the girls sing along and perform flawless with such energy. I went with my wife and 19 year old daughter and we all had a great evening with drinks included in price which makes it quite a bargain.
Would recommend this evening to anyone interested in the idol culture in Tokyo
Bought the merch after the gig and also the T shirt:)

Am a solo traveller from the UK and wasn't keen on going to the much hyped Robot restaurant on my own so decided to I'd give a Japanese Cabaret show a chance instead. The staff are very friendly and they greet you from the entrance, showing you to your table and looking after you throughout the night. I selected the drinks only option for my ticket and it's actually pretty good value...you basically have unlimited drinks for the night. The show is fun and the performers come into the audience to introduce themselves for you. It's a very intimate theatre and everyone there to up for a good time. I glad I went, plus its' in a really cool part of the City if you're visiting. There's loads to see and do in the Roppongi district.

I feel like it would have been better if the show was one long story rather than a series of short ones, but we really enjoyed it nonetheless. Fantastic costumes and stage theatrics. I'd recommend to anyone who is interested in seeing a crazy mix of traditional and modern Japanese entertainment, as something a little different.

This was the best night out during my trip in Japan. A show full of energy. The audience plays its own role. Most attendents know all the songs, they know the moves and the yells. It was so much fun. I would definitely recommend this show. And who said Tokyo is expensive? Impossible to find so much fun for so little yen anywhere. Unfortunately no photography allowed during the concert, but a photo could not capture the true atmosphere anyway.

I am very thankful that VELTRA connected me to this Idol show, which I never would have found otherwise! The performers were excellent and the concierge at the entertainment center knew exactly what the VELTRA voucher was. The one thing I would recommend - do some research beforehand, especially if you are going alone. Everyone in the crowd knew a dance routine associated with the performance and changed their glow sticks to specific colors at specific times. I wish I had watched some YouTube videos beforehand because I would have had more fun participating! If you didn't, like me, your voucher covers 2 alcoholic drinks to make you feel a little less like you don't know what you are doing! :D

This is a smaller version of the Idol worship that exist in Japan. They are known as the "underground" idols and the venue is perfect for that! 5-6 girls come out at a time and dans and lipsync and then at a point everyone sits down on the floor to listen to their chit chat. Then next girls comes out.
Great to see the show (all Japanese songs and dancing), but more the experience with the audience! They are part of the show and they know their own chorography very well!
There is alcohol at the venue to make this surreal experience even more fun!

This is an excellent way to see Japanese girl pop acts. The entertainment is energetic and continuous. You get to see several acts over the course of the show, with little to no wait time between performances.
I chose to go to the afternoon show and it was not very crowded. The audience was made up primarily of men, most of whom appeared to be dropping in for some entertainment after work, seeing as many were in business suits. The crowd was very enthusiastic.
The performance is in a normal sized auditorium in a multi-purpose building. There were tables with chairs (where I sat) at the back and a standing/dancing area in front of the stage. There is a bar on the side, and your ticket includes vouchers for a few drinks.
The venue is not hard to find in the Akihabara neighbourhood. The staff are very polite and welcoming. It is a fun show and for the price, it's a must see for anybody travelling in Japan who enjoys J-Pop music and Akihabara's culture.

This was an interesting and fun experience, and gave us an opportunity to see a part of Japanese culture we wouldn't have seen in another way. The concert featured three performance groups, one after the other, each in a slightly different style. Perhaps the most interesting part though was seeing the fans who had come to support the different idols. They had brought their colored handheld sticks and were cheering along with the songs.
Please note there is a lot of standing--we had spent all day walking so our feet were quite sore at the point the concert started. They were going to be doing a new song the night we were there, so there were quite a few people and the concert went almost 3 hours, all standing. It was worth it in the end, but we would have taken the rest of the day more easy had we known.
