TOKYO -- In early May in Shibuya, a throbbing, fashion-conscious Tokyo district, a music concert drew people of various ages.

Attendees ranged from singles, to mothers and daughters, to married couples. But many had one thing in common: They were clad in yukata, or summer kimonos. Not only did they add color to the event, they also received a discount on admission.
