Tokyo is buzzing with excitement this weekend, and if you are in town, you are truly spoiled for choice. For music lovers, there are back-to-back live shows lined up. Tonight, you can catch SCANDAL at Billboard Live Tokyo at 6 PM, offering their unique mix of alternative rock and J-pop. At the same time, NIGHT RANGER will be rocking Nippon Budokan, while Jake Shimabukuro brings his dazzling ukulele skills to EX Theater Roppongi. Heading into Saturday, the city’s energy continues to rise. J-pop acts like Kome Kome Club and Gen Hoshino will perform in nearby Yokohama, while rising rockers vistlip take the stage in Saitama.

On Saturday in Tokyo itself, JO1 is set to light up a local venue, and on Sunday, international pop fans can see D.O. of EXO at Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. Lovers of Britpop can get their fix from none other than Oasis, performing Saturday at the Tokyo Dome, then again Sunday for a back-to-back thrill. Pop duo Yuzu also plays Sunday at Ariake Arena, so there’s no shortage of musical talent wherever you turn, as seen on Japan Concert Tickets and Japan Concerts and Festivals.

Beyond concerts, October in Tokyo is synonymous with Halloween. While traditional Shibuya street parties have been scaled back with nightlife restrictions and a ban on public drinking, the city’s outfits and energy have simply shifted indoors. TokyoCheapo highlights several can’t-miss club events. The rowdy Back From the Grave: Halloween Ball in Kabukicho runs all night from Saturday into Sunday, with fifty bands, punk mayhem, DJs, burlesque, and more. Decadence Tokyo delivers a famously wild bash on October 26, but this weekend you’ll want to look out for themed nights at major clubs all over Roppongi and Shibuya. Costumes aren’t required but definitely encouraged.

There is more than music and mischief in the air. From October 17 to 19, the Tokyo International Audio Show at Tokyo International Forum will be heaven for audiophiles. Siltech and over 200 brands present the world’s finest high-end gear—open all day Friday through Sunday, giving you plenty of time to sample sonic perfection.

If food is your passion, get ready for a feast. The Tokyo Ramen Festa, Japan’s largest outdoor ramen festival, begins October 23 at Komazawa Olympic Park; but if you are in town a bit longer, make sure to buy your tickets early and try rare regional specialties from all over Japan, as mentioned by Exoticca. And for Halloween family fun, Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea are hosting their seasonal extravaganza—villain parade, costumes, and all—through October 31.
