Is there an age limit or extra fee for the Saga performance?

The performance at COZ HALL is an all-ages event, but please note that a separate “One Drink” fee of 500 yen is typically required at the entrance. Seating is provided on a first-come, first-served basis within the free seating area.

Where is COZ HALL located in Saga?

COZ HALL is located in Imari City, Saga Prefecture. It is a local cultural hub known for hosting intimate live music performances. We recommend checking local train or bus schedules as it is located away from the major urban centers like Fukuoka.

How do the “Table, Counter, Bar” seats work at BLUE NOTE PLACE?

For the Ebisu show, the venue is a restaurant and lounge style. “Table” seats usually offer a full dining view, while “Counter” and “Bar” seats are higher stools closer to the bar area. All offer a great view of the performance in a sophisticated setting.

Can I buy the album “SCENE” at the concert venue?

Most of Toshiki Soejima’s live shows include a merchandise booth where you can purchase CDs, vinyl records (including the SCENE LP), and official t-shirts. Popular items like the white vinyl edition often sell out quickly, so early arrival is recommended.
