The popular Japanese rock band, ORANGE RANGE, organized a surprise concert, igniting enthusiasm among its fan base. The covert operation took place amid much secrecy to avoid crowding and maintain public safety norms amidst post-COVID times. The guerrilla gig, a concept that has grown in popularity in Japan, was received by fans with unexpected joy and excitement, showcasing the resilient spirit of Japan's youth.

The Japanese people's value dedication and professionalism highly, which are strongly reflected in their pop culture, including their music scene. Guerrilla concerts are seen as a test of both for the performers - if a band can organize a concert amidst secrecy and still attract a crowd, it speaks volumes of their influence and popularity.

In the U.S. or E.U., secret gigs or pop-up concerts are also common. They often serve as a platform for bands to create a unique, intimate experience for their fans, and the element of surprise adds to the excitement. They also allow musicians to test out new material, or to bypass traditional concert venues.
