Japanese music, gaming, fashion and karaoke collide as the UK’s leading Japanese club night returns to London on Saturday 28 May, boasting a headline performance from the first British artist to be signed to a major Japanese record label; Bentley Jones.

The event, which aims to bring the excitement and energy of Tokyo’s electric night life to Britain, recently raised £6,000 for charities helping Japan. Hailed as ‘fantastic’ (Kerrang Radio), ‘fun’ (Absolute Radio) and making Living Social’s top 101 things to do before you die, Japan Underground has established itself as the place to be for fans of Japan’s rock, indie and metal music, as well as becoming the UK’s home for Japan’s visual kei movement, a genre of music where aesthetics and fashion are often regarded just as important as the music.

Live music will come from British J-pop star Bentley Jones and Japanese video game violinist Masa Futagami.
