Namie Amuro 5 Major Domes Tour was a concert tour by Japanese recording artist Namie Amuro, held in celebration of her 20th anniversary of debut with the Super Monkey's. It spanned eight shows at five domes across Japan from November to December 2012, and attracted around 340,000 people.

The Asian leg of the tour, promoted as "20th Anniversary Namie Amuro Asia Tour 2013", was held in February and March 2013 in Taipei and Hong Kong. The concerts attracted around 30,000 people. A concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium was scheduled for April 26, but was cancelled due to issues with the local promoter.

Background

[edit]

Before the beginning of the tour, Amuro planned her "Namie Amuro 20th Anniversary Live in Okinawa" concert in her home prefecture of Okinawa for mid-September 2012, but was cancelled due to Typhoon Sanba effecting Okinawa at the time. An 8-day dome tour across Japan, titled "5 Major Domes Tour ~20th Anniversary Best~", was held in November and December 2012 featuring performances in Fukuoka, Osaka, Sapporo, Nagoya and Tokyo.[1] On July 24 after all of the concert dates selling out, an extra concert was added in Nagoya.[2]

Asian leg

[edit]

The Asian leg of the tour, promoted as "Namie Amuro Asia Tour 2013", was conducted early the following year; it originally scheduled a first-time stop in Singapore at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on April 26, 2013. However, the tour's website announced that the concert would be cancelled, citing "issues concerning the local promoter", but was later changed to "local technical reasons". Some speculated that the cancellation may have had actually been related to "poor ticket sales".[3]

Commercial performance

[edit]

The 2012 dome tour attracted a total of 340,000 people in Japan, while the 2013 Asia tour attracted 20,000 people in Taipei and 10,000 people in Hong Kong. China Times reported that the Taipei concerts generated about NT$60 million (US$2,022,000) in total revenue from ticket sales, as well as an additional NT$50 million ($1,685,000) in tourism revenue from overseas fans traveling to Taiwan to attend the concerts.[4]
