Hikaru Utada Laughter in the Dark Tour 2018

If there was anyone you could call a true queen of J-pop, it’s most definitely Utada Hikaru. She’s one of the best selling artists in Japan of all time, with her debut album hitting almost 10 million copies sold. For many Western fans, she was one of the first Japanese artists to become truly popular, largely in part to a little song called “Simple and Clean” from the first Kingdom Hearts game. Her latest album “Hatsukoi” came out last year and in support, she embarked on her first full Japan tour in 12 years; “Laughter In The Dark”. It completely sold out, and she’s big enough to play stadium-sized venues. In a surprising announcement, when home and digital release details came out for a live filming of the tour, it included a Netflix announcement. The concert was filmed at the legendary Makuhari Messe in Chiba and was the final stop of her “Laughter In The Dark” tour.
