Akina Nakamori’s return to the stage sold out in no time with tickets priced at over 70,000 yen each.
Akina Nakamori appeared in front of her fans for the first time in six and a half years and sang a "superb live performance" on stage.
The “legendary diva,” who announced an indefinite hiatus in 2010 due to poor health and had long since disappeared from the stage, has returned to the stage.
On July 14, just after 11:30 a.m., a woman with an overwhelmingly charismatic aura appeared in the underground parking lot of a hotel in Tokyo. She was Akina Nakamori, 59, a singer, with fluffy, sober hair and wearing a T-shirt with her youthful face printed on it. She was talking to someone with a cell phone to her ear and appeared to be in a good mood. After a while, Akina ended the call, got into a luxury car parked in the parking lot, and left the hotel.
It was reported in April of this year that she had restarted her career in earnest. It was reported that a fan club members-only event would be held for three days from July 12 to 14 to coincide with her 59th birthday on July 13. The event had become a “national event” that was immediately sold out due to the flood of applications for Akina’s return to the stage.
After leaving the parking lot, Akina’s group headed for a live restaurant located a few minutes away from the hotel. In the midst of the excitement, which was hard to believe that it was before the show started, one of the event participants excitedly expressed his feelings about the event.
The ticket price was 78,000 yen, but I don’t feel that the price is too high if I can see Akina live! (A female fan who attended the event)
