Live House Fuse Box

Fuse Box is a restaurant-style live house in Kinshicho, on the Sumida-ku side of town toward the Tokyo Skytree — order dinner and drinks at your table while a resident band works through several short sets over the course of the evening. It runs the same dinner-and-a-show idea as the Kento's family across town, just scaled to a smaller room with a rotating cast of house bands instead of one signature act.

The repertoire spans five decades on paper — 1950s oldies and rock 'n' roll, 60s soul and R&B, 70s disco — but any given band tends to specialize, so the mood changes noticeably night to night; the venue posts a monthly schedule naming each band and its era. The room is fully non-smoking, and stage times run three sets a night with no re-entry between them.

What Visitors Are Saying

Reviewers consistently praise the room's sightlines despite its small size — more than one mentions being able to see the stage well from anywhere in the room — along with solid acoustics, especially for dancing close to the stage. One detailed review specifically calls out the resident band Diamond Dogs for its 70s–80s standards, suggesting (as the venue's own monthly schedule confirms) that the era and genre shift depending on which band is playing.
