Potomelli (ポトメリ), the project led by singer-songwriter and jazz drummer Hironori Momoi, will headline a show titled 『Back in Bloom』 at Shibuya Ruby Room on Saturday, November 7, 2026. Doors open at noon and the show starts at 12:30, so it is a daytime performance. Potomelli is the only act on the bill, so the whole show is devoted to Momoi’s songs. Momoi will be on vocals, and this is not a solo set: other players and backing tracks join him on stage. Advance tickets are ¥3,000 on LivePocket.

Quick facts

Who is Potomelli?

Potomelli is a fluid project led by Hironori Momoi. Momoi is a jazz drummer, but in Potomelli he steps to the front: he writes all of the music and lyrics himself and concentrates on being a singer. According to the official site, he sings freely and connects scenes with a wide range of musicality, drawing on his varied background.

The project began after Momoi returned to Japan following six and a half years in New York. Alongside his work as a drummer, he set out to put himself at the front with one idea in mind: songs that only he can sing and make, and that have meaning because he is the one singing and making them. Potomelli started with a changing lineup of musicians, so the band’s members are not fixed.

If you are used to seeing a drummer behind the kit, this is a chance to hear the same musician as the voice and the songwriter.

Listen first

Start with “ウラメシヤ (Urameshiya)”. The title echoes urameshiya (恨めしや), the classic cry of a ghost in Japanese ghost stories. Press play and see what the song does with it.

About the venue

Ruby Room is a live bar and club in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, at 2-25-17 Dogenzaka (道玄坂2-25-17 カスミビル), on the 4th floor of the Kasumi Building. Listings describe a compact room with a semicircular stage, a good sound system and a DJ booth. It sits on a side street a few minutes’ walk from the Shibuya scramble crossing, and it has been part of Shibuya’s music scene since the early 2000s.

Because it is a small room, you will be close to the stage. If you have not been to a venue like this before, our first-timer’s guide explains tickets, drink fees and the usual flow of the evening.
