Kyary Pamyu Pamyu Collaborates with Osaka’s Tsutenkaku Tower for LOCAL POWER JAPAN Project
In conjunction with Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s current 10th anniversary nationwide tour, the LOCAL POWER JAPAN Project was launched to energize Japan through the appeal of regional towns and cities. At each stop, Kyary collaborates with a local company or landmark to help bring more attention to smaller regions and businesses. The details of the artist’s collaboration project in Osaka have been revealed ahead of the artist’s performance there on June 4.
Kyary will be collaborating with the Tsutenkaku Tower, a symbol of Osaka that has stood tall in the Shinsekai district of Naniwa-ku since 1956. The special collaboration logo was inspired by Kyary’s 2021 dance track Dodonpa, which was recently performed during the artist’s incredibly successful set at Coachella 2022.
Tsutenkaku has been appearing in the news often during 2022 following the installation of the Tower Slider, a see-through slide taking guests from 60 meters up to ground level as they marvel at the city views.
The collaboration product is a special Tsutenkaku and LOCAL POWER JAPAN Project ticket featuring the new logo. The back of each ticket is printed with the phrase “From Osaka, let’s energize Japan!’ written in Kyary’s own handwriting. Collaboration tickets will be available for purchase from June 4 until June 19 at the Tsutenkaku Ticket Counter and Tsutenkaku Online Shop. Limited quantities will also be available at Fenice Sacay, the venue of Kyary’s Osaka concert on June 4.
A collaborative T-shirt is also on sale featuring the new Tsutenkaku logo and the singer’s 10th-anniversary logo. It will be available on the LOCAL POWER JAPAN Project online store from June 4 until July 17.
Come transmit energy to all of Japan while enjoying a trip to Tsutenkaku Tower in Osaka as part of Kyary’s incredible initiative!

The Rose of Versailles Celebrates 50th Anniversary with Exhibition at Tokyo City View
31.May.2022 | ANIME&GAME / SPOT
Tokyo City View in Roppongi Hills will hold The Rose of Versailles 50th Anniversary Exhibition -The Rose of Versailles Forever- from September 17 until November 20, 2022.
Riyoko Ikeda’s historical romance manga was first serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Margaret manga magazine from April 1972 to December 1973. The epic historical drama set in the French Revolution-era overturned the common perception at the time that historical stories were not appropriate for girls’ manga, and the series was a huge hit, winning the hearts of girls from the start. It became so popular that it received tens of thousands of fan letters per month, and became an immortal masterpiece that changed the history of shoujo manga.
The Rose of Versailles tells a story over 2,000 pages long, but this exhibition focuses specifically on Marie Antoinette and Oscar François de Jarjayes, the two main characters of the story. Guests will be able to see rare original drawings, along with Ikeda’s thoughts and words at the time. Ikeda was only 24 years old at the time when she drew some of these incredible pieces, and she continued studying painting during the series’ serialization.
Even after serialization ended in 1973, the series only continued to grow in popularity. Adapted for the stage by the Takarazuka Revue in 1974, it became a social phenomenon, and an anime series followed in 1979.
In the Takarazuka Revue section of the exhibition, Oscar’s room from the play will be recreated, and stage costumes and props will be on display.
Come enter the dreamlike world of The Rose of Versailles while enjoying a spectacular view of Tokyo from 250 meters up!

teamLab to Open Art-Filled Botanical Garden in Osaka This Summer
Art collective teamLab will open a permanent nighttime exhibition, ‘teamLab Botanical Garden Osaka,’ at Nagai Botanical Garden in Osaka in the summer of 2022.
The Nagai Botanical Garden, which originally opened in 1974, reopened on April 1, 2022, after tree thinning, tree rearrangement and replanting to accommodate new root growth, and soil improvement to create an environment where plants can thrive and grow in the far future. The garden covers over 240,000 square meters and is home to 1,200 species of plants, flowers, and trees.
This summer, teamLab will transform the garden into an art space where the past, present, and future intersect, blending with nature’s changing seasons and the presence of guests.
TeamLab’s environmentally friendly art project, ‘Digitized Nature,’ aims to show “nature itself becoming art in its natural state” by using only digital technology. Nothing in the gardens needs to be destroyed to create art.
At teamLab Botanical Garden Osaka, the daytime botanical garden will become an art space at night. The space will be transformed by actual wind and rain, as well as by the behavior of the birds and the actions of visitors to the site.
Come enjoy an illuminated garden filled with art on a warm night this summer!
