Some live music you shouldn’t miss this week:
**Monday 20th May** Free show (+ tips) with a secret lineup at Shimokitazawa Basement Bar. I went to several of these before and was always blown away—“You got *this* band to play but kept it secret?!” https://www.instagram.com/p/C6_Sq4rSVez/
**Friday 24th May** Free (if you reserve tickets) funky indie show at Shinjuku MARZ: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5qLdFFSNZ6/
**Friday 24th May (midnight)** The forefront of Tokyo nightlife is bed. No one creates a show like them. Go and witness the moment. https://www.instagram.com/p/C65_ytjSwjs/
**Saturday 25th May** All the best of Tokyo indie is here in one truly awesome music festival across five venues in Shimokitazawa. Don’t miss the chance to meet everyone worth knowing in a single day! https://t.livepocket.jp/e/nbsss_os
**Sunday 26th May** Japan and Hong Kong cross over at this spectacular and unique psychedelic music lineup at Shimokitazawa Basement Bar: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5qLdFFSNZ6/
There’s actually loads more happening this weekend listed on [Gigs in Tokyo](https://www.instagram.com/gigsintokyo?igsh=OWJ4aWgwMXM4eHVn), but these are my top picks.

casual discussion event about our relationships with climate change @ nihonbashi
when: sat 25th 4-5:30pm
where: good coffee farms nihonbashi
language: english
cost: free, just buy a drink to support the venue!
what: we’ll explore questions like how we want to be & act in this complex climate crisis, and reflect on the privilege of living in japan, where many of us feel disconnected from some of the prominent effects. we’ll also dive into what holds us back from becoming more engaged with sustainability, sharing struggles we face and what encourages and motivates us.

On Wed. 5/22 the second year of the Tokyo Night Market at Yoyogi Park will start. Many bands, DJs, food, etc. and it’s free! It’s like the day events such as the Thai fest, but with a focus on the music scene in Tokyo. Many bars and clubs will represent. More info: [東京ナイトマーケット代々木公園](https://tokyo-night-market.com/)
About the live this Saturday, why the Livepocket site says “please refrain from entering if you are a Japanese national”. I’m confused.
