Hikaru Utada is embarking on their highly anticipated tour!
The “First Love” Japanese pop icon kicked off the nationwide HIKARU UTADA SCIENCE FICTION TOUR 2024 at Marine Messe Fukouka in Fukuoka Prefecture earlier this month in Japan.
The tour – the first from Hikaru Utada in over six years – celebrates their first best-of album, SCIENCE FICTION, after marking their 25th anniversary in the music industry in 2023.
“I was naturally nervous leading up to the first day, but I’ve worked hard with the tour members to put on a great show, so I’m delighted to be here today,” Hikaru told the sold-out crowd of approximately 10,000 attendees.
