Background

Formed in Sendai in 2000, NIGHTMARE rose to mainstream prominence with their contributions to major anime soundtracks, most notably the iconic themes for “Death Note.” Their music is characterized by a sophisticated blend of heavy metal, hard rock, and gothic aesthetics, paired with deeply emotive lyrics. Over the years, the band has navigated hiatuses and health challenges, only to return stronger each time.

The “Reach for” tour is a significant milestone, representing the band’s continued vitality in a constantly changing music industry. By returning to their roots in Sendai for a major show at SENDAI GIGS and concluding with a massive performance at Tokyo’s Toyosu PIT, the tour maps out the band’s history and their future ambitions. Each performance is a masterclass in visual kei artistry, emphasizing the deep bond between the five members and their global fanbase.

Faqs

What is the difference between Reserved and All Standing at SENDAI GIGS?

Reserved seats provide a specific assigned seat, usually in the balcony or designated floor blocks, allowing you to arrive closer to the start time. All Standing tickets require you to stand in a designated area, with entry order determined by your serial number.

Are there additional costs at the live house venues?

Yes, for almost all dates on this tour (including Sendai and Yokohama), a separate drink fee (typically 600 Yen) is required at the door. This is a standard Japanese live house requirement and must be paid in cash in exchange for a drink token.

Who should I contact for inquiries about the Miyagi performance?

For the show at SENDAI GIGS, the official promoter is EDWARD LIVE. You can reach them at 022-266-7555 for specific questions regarding venue accessibility or local tour logistics.

How do serial numbers work for the “All Standing” tickets?

Your ticket will have a printed reference or serial number. On the day of the show, fans line up outside the venue in numerical order. Staff will call out numbers, and you enter the hall according to your place in the sequence to find your standing spot.

Can I still get tickets for shows that are sold out?

If a performance is listed as sold out on official platforms, please reach out via our contact form. We check live availability and can assist you in finding verified tickets through trusted resale marketplaces in Japan so you don’t miss the tour.
