Jeep’s long-running Real Music project spun out a new concert series in 2013: Jeep Presents “The Real Music Show.” Planned as four events per year, the format promised exclusive, high-impact live sets rather than festival filler — and the first edition locked Wednesday, 5 June 2013 at SHIBUYA O-EAST.
Shibuya Channel’s preview treated the bill as a one-night-only combination: three acts whose overlap would not repeat casually on other circuits. Lineup, ticket mechanics, and artist notes below reflect that 2013 announcement.
What the series claimed to deliver
Copy around the launch emphasized creativity born from real live rooms, human connection, and performance power as the channel for Jeep’s brand message: “a real experience of freedom and adventure.” The marketing language was lofty; the concrete offer was simpler — a curated O-EAST night where each act got space to matter.
The preview’s emotional hook was direct: if you had been waiting for “a live show exactly like this,” The Real Music Show positioned itself as the answer arriving in Shibuya.
Vol. 01 lineup
Three names anchored the first volume:
- TOKYO No.1 SOUL SET
- Takao Tajima (ORIGINAL LOVE)
- Petrolz
Ticket sales opened Saturday, 20 April 2013 at 10:00 through Lawson Ticket, e+, the O-EAST box office, tixee, and Ticket Pia — with Pia sales starting later on Friday, 26 April. Advance tickets were ¥3,000, door ¥3,500, drink fee separate. Doors 18:00, show 19:00.
Artist notes from the profiles
TOKYO No.1 SOUL SET — BIKKE (vocals), Toshihumi Watanabe (vocals and guitar), and Hiroshi Kawabe (DJ) — entered the scene through the compilation TOKYO Disk Jockeys Only (released 25 May 1990), notably track six “Immoral.” Their sound built a wide audience by ignoring genre boxes. After roughly four inactive years from 2000, they restarted in earnest with OUTSET (8 June 2005) and returned to heavy live work. grinding sound arrived 14 March 2012 as their first original album in about three years; at publication time they were recording again.
Takao Tajima, born 24 April 1966 in Tokyo, renamed his band to Original Love in 1987 after forming its predecessor in 1985. He joined Pizzicato Five in parallel from 1988 through 1990. In 2013 he had a digital single “Fashion Appeal” out in April and a new album Electric Sexy scheduled for June. Beyond band work he handled drama themes, commercial music, and production — and had been showcasing a “solo soul” live format using loop machines rather than a full band arrangement.
Petrolz — Ryosuke Nagaoka, Jungo Miura, and Toshihide Kawamura — formed in 2005 when car enthusiast Nagaoka borrowed the British word for gasoline as a group name. Their playing focused attention on the moment each note disappears, pulling listeners into concentrated listening. Through unusual events and steady trust-building, their fan base kept growing.

O-EAST in the Shibuya live ecosystem
SHIBUYA O-EAST belongs to the same clustered live-house geography that makes Shibuya a evening destination after the scramble thins. Watching daytime crowd density on the Shibuya Crossing live camera gives you the street layer; a Jeep-branded triple bill in June 2013 is the indoor layer — ticket queues, door times, and three distinct performance philosophies sharing one room for a single night.
O-EAST bills are history; how to watch Japan live keeps the surrounding district viewable in real time.
Treat artists’ release schedules, ticket URLs, and prices as frozen in the announcement moment unless you are building a current concert plan.
