The best way to transition into Rocktober is by going to an ATARASHII GAKKO! concert. Seeing the quartet live for the first time at the sold-out Warfield in San Francisco was a mesmerizing experience that will stay in your mind long after the show.

ATARASHII GAKKO! is a unique group that utilizes the stage to its full potential. Their intricate dance moves, light show, and going into the crowd during the iconic ending of their show left the audience in awe. I could not keep my eyes off them. I also could not stop dancing to their high-energy music, especially to the remix of their song “Saishuu Jinrui.”

If I ever get the chance to see this group again, I will take the opportunity in a heartbeat. If you’re a longtime fan, just getting into their music, or only know their song “Tokyo Calling,” you are really in for a treat with these shows.

Grab a ticket to their remaining shows through their website. And be sure to listen to their latest album before going!
