The first Club Quattro opened up in June 28, 1988 in Shibuya. There are now four live houses run by Shibuya Club, which is why it is named “Quattro” (a spelling variation of the Italian word for 4). Since the first one opened up in Shibuya, 3 more opened up in Nagoya, Shinsaibashi, and Hiroshima. Nagoya’s opened up in June of 1989, Shinsaibashi in May of 1991, and Hiroshima in 2001.
