LiveTribe

Every live show in Japan, in one place.

Our own product, built and run in-house. LiveTribe gathers venue and artist schedules that were scattered across thousands of sites into one bilingual, searchable listing, and lets artists take torioki reservations directly. It is live at livetribe.jp.

What it does

A scene nobody had written down.

Japan has thousands of live houses, each publishing its schedule its own way, most of them in Japanese only. LiveTribe puts them together.

Read how it started
  1. 01 · Discover

    Tonight, wherever you are

    Shows by city, area, date and genre, from Sapporo to Fukuoka. No account, no app, nothing to install.

  2. 02 · Coverage

    Schedules, gathered automatically

    Every venue publishes differently. A scraping pipeline reads each site and an AI step writes a parser for it, so new venues come online without hand-written code.

  3. 03 · Pages

    Artists and venues take over

    Anyone can claim their artist or venue page, correct what is there, and keep their own dates current from then on.

  4. 04 · Torioki

    Reservations, the way live houses work

    Fans reserve through the artist and pay at the door. The standard Japanese torioki flow, handled end to end, with the counts the artist and the venue need on the night.

  5. 05 · Languages

    English and Japanese throughout

    Every page and every notification in both languages, with furigana on Japanese names so a search works either way.

  6. 06 · Social

    Follow, save, bring friends

    Follow artists and venues, save the shows you are interested in, and reserve for the friends coming with you.

  7. 07 · Machines

    Readable by assistants too

    The public catalogue is published as an MCP server, so an AI assistant can answer what is on tonight without scraping anything.

  8. 08 · Operations

    A service, not a demo

    Rails 8 and Hotwire, automated tests, continuous deployment, and the same maintenance we give the systems we build for customers.

How we work

Delivery is where the job starts.

Every system we build stays under our care: kept up to date, patched, and extended for as long as the business needs it.

Fitted, not off-the-shelf

Each system is set up around how you already work.

Simple changes, same day

Small changes usually reach you within a day of being asked for.

New features, any time

Adding to a system years after it was built is routine work, not a rebuild.

Patched, top to bottom

Security updates for the operating system, the applications and every library underneath.

Nothing quietly breaks

Automated tests cover the whole system, so a change in one place cannot damage another unnoticed.

Backed up, on and off site

Automated backups are stored securely on and off site. Rest assured that even if a system goes down, your data is safe.

Built by us, for us.

The scraping, the AI parsing, the bilingual interface and the reservation flow are all work we do for customers too. Tell us what your business needs building.
