My usual resource for finding concerts while travelling (last.fm) doesn't cut it for Japan. Are there any English resources that will help? My teenagers like J-pop so a local emphasis is required.

I was about to suggest Songkick as it has a location search, but after some inspection of the results for Tokyo, J-pop artists seem to be conspicuously absent. – mindcorrosive♦ Feb 22 '12 at 16:10

I presume you’re looking for something in English.

The main English-language listings magazine in Tokyo is called Metropolis (メトロポリス). The concerts section includes some J-Pop:

So far the best resource I have found and use extensively is - http://www.tokyogigguide.com/

Hello and welcome to Travel.SE. Please, add some information here, don't just leave a link for some random site in a Web. – VMAtm Feb 12 at 6:43
I would also strongly recommend Tokyo Gig Guide - particularly the ability to filter by genre in the right-hand sidebar. Much better than Metropolis in my opinion. – codinghands Feb 18 at 3:58
