"namie amuro Final Space," an experiential exhibition tracing the career of artist Namie Amuro, who will retire on September 16, 2018, will be held this summer at four venues in Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, and Okinawa. The final day at each venue is September 16, the day of her retirement.


In Tokyo, the exhibition will be held at Hikarie Hall on the 9th floor of Shibuya Hikarie from July 26 to September 16. Titled "search for the memory of namie amuro," the exhibition is based on the song "Dr.", released by Namie Amuro in 2009, and features an attraction-style space where visitors can enjoy videos while touring the venue. A mysterious woman who has been ordered by Dr. Chronos, a professor featured in the lyrics, to "collect Namie Amuro's memories" is sent from the year 3000 AD to the present day, where she traces her journey alongside visitors in this new type of exhibition.
