If you wanna dance with somebody this January, consider getting tickets to see Whitney Houston’s hologram perform at Bunkamura’s Orchard Hall. This posthumous concert, which is scheduled to hit Nagoya and Osaka after its Tokyo run, debuted in February 2020 as an homage to the late singer and her legacy.
With permission from the singer’s surviving family members, the hologram was created with the help of a choreographer and body double who worked to recreate the star’s movements. The rendition is accompanied by a live band and back-up singers for a show-stopping spectacle covering Houston’s greatest hits from 'I Will Always Love You' to 'Step by Step'.
While the concept of a hologram concert may sound a bit too close to something out of a ‘Black Mirror’ episode for some people, the production is the closest we can get to experiencing a real Whitney Houston performance.
Tickets for the Tokyo concerts can be booked online via Pia. Visit the official website for more details on the upcoming concerts in Osaka and Nagoya.
