Hi, can I ask you for an advice?
This question is esp. targeted on Europeans (Central Europeans in particular), but I’ll appreciate your advice no matter where are you from.
So, I’m going to attend a show by my favorite j-rock band in Tokyo Dome City Hall. I would like to know the appropriate way to act there. What should I be aware of? Is it much different from shows/concerts here in Central Europe? Or, is it much different from when a j-rock band has a show here in CE?
And what about the hall itself? Is there something I should know?
Thanks in advance!

Don’t scream the entire the show.
Don’t obstruct other people’s view.
Literally just pay attention to how people around you says acting and do the same.
No Camera(unless stated that its allowed), dont smoke, dress appropriately
Every band is different on how they liven things up, so do pay attention on how other people around you acts. Some songs also have something called “furi,” which are a kind of choreographed hand movements that fans of the band know.
Expect undivided attention and absolute silence, both during and between the performances of a band, akin to the kind of silence where a pin dropping could be heard. To steer clear of becoming “that guy,” simply vibe into the atmosphere of the crowd, to make it an enjoyable experience.
It is advisable to arrive at the venue an hour(2 hours is best) if you want to buy merch since theres a high possibility that stuff you wanna buy will be sold out if you arent early.
One thing to take note is your way home, its gonna be so crowded af and you might miss public transport so be sure to research.
Lastly, have fun!
