Overview

youTopia vol.2 “God Doesn’t Play Dice x DRAGON PONY” at Zepp DiverCity (Tokyo) is an electrifying, border-blurring rock showdown produced by Pia Live Creative, the second installment in the “youTopia” series themed around dream “battle” matchups between must-see bands—here pitting Japan’s genre-defying rock veterans 神はサイコロを振らない (Kami wa Saikoro wo Furanai / God Doesn’t Play Dice) against Korea’s explosive rookie sensations DRAGON PONY in a cross-cultural sonic clash that promises raw energy, intricate riffs, and shared-stage synergy.

Formed in 2015, God Doesn’t Play Dice—led by Shuusaku Yanagida (vocals/guitar), Kiichi Yoshida (guitar), Gaku Kuriki (bass/keyboard), and Ryosuke Kurokawa (drums)—marks their 10th anniversary and 5th debut year with a discography blending post-rock introspection (anfang, Lambda Ni Taisuru Kenkai) and dynamic contrasts of light/dark, earning 338K monthly Spotify listeners for tracks like “Two Creatures” and “Time Factor.” Facing them: DRAGON PONY, the 2024 Antenna debutants (Ahn Tae-gyu/vocals-guitar, Pyun Sung-hyun/bass, Kwon Se-hyuk/guitar, Ko Gang-hun/drums)—born of dragon/horse zodiac bonds, delivering “imperfect boys’ hot music” via EPs Pop Up (2024) and Not Out (2025), with anthemic hooks like “Not Out” and “Never” that sold out womans and tours in under a year.

This Tokyo leg on Friday, January 16, 2026, at Zepp DiverCity erupts at 19:00 (doors 18:00), unleashing a ~120–150 minute set of alternating bangers, potential collabs, and encores in a “boaderless night” of musical resonance. Kicking off the series’ dual-city arc after Seoul’s November 22–23, 2025, shows at MYUNGHWA LIVE HALL, it’s hailed on X as “J-rock meets K-rookies fire.”

Tickets ¥8,800 (tax incl., drinks separate) via Pia presale lottery (until Nov 4, 2025, 23:59 JST) for 1F free (numbered standing) or 2F reserved. The ~2,500-capacity Odaiba venue guarantees seismic sound and bay views. Secure via Live Information—this utopia of riffs is racing to sellout.

Why Attend

• Dream Band Battle: God Doesn’t Play Dice’s 10-year contrasts vs. DRAGON PONY’s rookie heat—expect post-rock builds clashing with anthemic rock, possible joint encores for genre alchemy.

• Odaiba Odyssey: Venue’s waterfront perch ties to teamLab planets, Odaiba fireworks (seasonal), and DiverCity mall eats—pre-show takoyaki or post-gig craft beer.
