Hayama to Harajuku: Chris Coco's October in Japan
A hotel beach party, an Osaka after-hours, Tokyo's Apres-midi lounge, a free night in Harajuku and a Sunday on Suma beach. The month as Japan posted it.

Chris Coco spent October 2026 playing across Japan. He did not post the run himself, so this is the tour as promoters, venues and fellow DJs shared it on X, translated and summarised from the Japanese. Every stop links to the original post below.
3 October: Hayama
umi conexión "Hayamatic!" 2026 at Hayama Umi no Hotel and its SANDBAR, Kanagawa, from 15:00. Also on the line-up: Major Force Productions (K.U.D.O and Kan Takagi), LUNASUN (Haruo Chikada and OMB) and Yuki Kawamura aka Venus, who posted the next day that she was happy to DJ with Chris again and swap Ibiza stories. Tower Records' music guide Mikiki later published a full event report.
9 October: Osaka
edenico 10th Anniversary After Party at edenico in Daikokucho, Osaka, with Chris playing open to last.
16 October: Tokyo
Apres-midi Friday Lounge, with Chris billed as guest DJ "Mr. Melodica". Toru Hashimoto, whose Suburbia Records released Chris's My Favourite Place in 2017, played alongside him and wrote afterwards that it was their first night together since the Good Mellows tour nine years earlier.
23 October: Harajuku
Deus Social Club feat. Chris Coco at Deus Ex Machina Harajuku, free entry.
25 October: Kobe
A Sunday session at Kobe Suma beach, 15:00 to 22:00, with the Nadja wine bar crew bringing a 12-inch vinyl set, then Chris at Nadja in Kobe Motomachi.
Japan has been part of the Chris Coco story for years: Cafe Que Sera Sera in Osaka has its own track on his records. October 2026 shows how deep that connection still runs.
