Any recommendations for a prog lover in Tokyo?

Do you have any recommendation for a prog lover to see in Japan or Tokyo, where I am now residing, for example an interesting record shop/concert/venue/club/other places? Unfortunately I do not understand Japanese at all, only English (or German respectively). Recommendations are highly appreciated, thank you!

Thank you for considering . But I was more thinking along the lines: if you know of a good prog band (japanese or not) who is going to play in or around Tokyo, please let me know. Or just in case if you happen to know  of a record shop where you can find all the prog rarities... something like this. Sometimes I see some advertising of bands playing, but as I can't read Japanese I have no idea what kind of music they are playing, let alone reading the names! 

Thanks, that his highly appreciated!
Btw, I managed to see King Crimson in Tokyo, in one of the six very quickly sold out concerts! I have the feeling prog in general is much more popular in Japan than in Germany!

The Enid is having a two night concert in about a week in Shibuya playing their first two records. I'd love to see it but I hope if they still have tickets available you can check it out. Great band and those albums are so good.

Japan is a great place for music.....I lived in Asia for 25 years and my trips to Japan always started and ended at used record shops.  The live music scene is also hot, especially for jazz.....the only problem is that tickets are often waaaaay overpriced. 

I just wanted to thank the people who suggested the Silver Elephant club in Kichijoji, Tokyo. I went there now to two concerts already, one was KBB, the other one, just today, was the Shingetsu Project. Both concerts were great and absolutely awesome! Yuck, I have not known that earlier! I think now, that Japan is a prog heaven!
