The old site,
on the record.
From 2015 to 2020 KAALA published interviews, scene reports, reviews, photo galleries and show roundups in English at the former domain kaala.jp. 141 dated posts survive in the Internet Archive. Each entry below links one specific capture made while KAALA still ran the site.
How to read this index
Dated by URL. Titled by slug. Linked by capture.
Each date is the publication date encoded in the post’s original address, from 2015-06-13 to 2020-01-03. The capture date is when the Internet Archive saved that copy, between 2017 and 2020.
Titles here are reconstructed from the original URL, so punctuation, capitalization and some characters differ from the published headline. Quote the headline shown on the capture itself.
KAALA no longer controls kaala.jp, so nothing on this page links to the live domain. Original addresses appear as text for reference only.
The list includes weekend roundups and tour announcements for other promoters’ shows. A listing is not a claim that KAALA produced the event. For KAALA’s own role in each period, read the History; for audio, see the Kaala Radio index.
