HIKARU UTADA SCIENCE FICTION TOUR 2024 NINE STORIES

About the productJapanese

<Product Introduction>
Celebrating her 25th anniversary since her debut, Hikaru Utada will be holding her first nationwide tour in six years, "SCIENCE FICTION TOUR 2024."
A project to capture the past from the perspectives of nine photographers, preserve them in photo books and other works, and pass them on to future generations.
The project name is taken from the title of a short story by American novelist JD Salinger.
Like that wonderful story, the story of Utada Hikaru's live performances held in nine cities are captured by leading contemporary artists such as Kimura Wahei, Suzuki Chikashi, Hosokura Mayumi, Kawauchi Rinko, Moriyama Daido, John Yuyi, Wing Shya, Homma Takashi, and Noguchi Rika, each from their own unique perspective, and woven together using the visual language of photography.
Only an artist as extraordinary as Utada Hikaru could have collaborated with top photographers, resulting in a new and unprecedented form of live photography/photobook.
Through the photographer's perspective, Utada Hikaru's live performance, and by extension the existence of Utada Hikaru, will be presented to the world as something that will remain forever, whether it be five, fifty, 100 years from now or beyond.
