I leave after the Niigata live in November  I absolutely wanted to go in December but plane tickets were hella expensive for those dates. 

I'm sure you can get tickets to that live. 

I'm not very good with remembering to look up lives, so I forgot that was happening. Thanks for the reminder! I've never been to Tokyo (I spent all my time in Kansai (Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, etc) when I was there a few years ago. Do you have any recommendations to do?

I hope you had a good time in Japan, though!

In Tokyo? It depends on what you like to do. For sightseeing there's Asakusa, Ueno Park, Tokyo Tower and Skytree. Though you can get to the top of the metropolitan building in Shinjuku and get an awesome view instead of paying for Tokyo Tower or Skytree. 

There's Akihabara if you are into anime and videogames or maid cafes. Shibuya has a lot to see. 

I personally like to look around Harajuku, Ikebukuro and Shinjuku/Kabukichou. Shibuya is a bit too crowded with tourists for my taste but it has cool places to eat and drink. There's this one great yakitori place that has mojitos for like 110¥ lol

Shinjuku northwest also has all the VK stores within a few blocks, and there's a big closet child in Ikebukuro too.
