Rely on Netflix to replay the Japanese drama "Stylish Chef Samsung Dream》Japanese national superstar Kimura Takuya, who has become famous in Taiwan, has not been as popular in China in recent years. Whether it is the ratings of the TV series he starred in or the performance of his personal music career, it is not as good as before. The sales of the third solo album "SEE YOU THERE" released last month were not as good as expected, and there is also news that tickets for the tour concert to be launched at the end of this month are not selling well.
This tour "TAKUYA KIMURA Live Tour 2024 SEE YOU THERE" will start from Osaka on September 9 and cover Yokohama, Aichi, Miyagi, Fukuoka and other places, with a total of 29 performances. However, ticket sales were not as good as expected. Only Yokohama tickets were sold out. Tickets in other cities were still in the awkward situation of "buy whatever you want, don't worry" in Cantonese.
Kimura Takuya was once a member of SMAP. In the past, tickets for both concerts and personal music works were hard to get. However, ticket sales for this tour were unusually lackluster. Although Kimura released his third solo album "SEE YOU THERE" in 2 years and 7 months last month, and invited well-known musicians such as Yoshida Takuro and Takeuchi Maria to participate in the production, the sales of the album were lower than expected. It failed to surpass the results of the past two solo albums.
Kimura Takuya also seemed to be aware of the crisis of declining popularity, and even conducted an Instagram live broadcast to promote the album for the first time in his career. However, these measures seem to have failed to reverse the decline in album sales and tour box office, raising concerns whether the former popularity halo has faded.
