It has been a permanent fixture since 1991.

It was popular for 34 years.

Off-Broadway's "Blue Man Group"

next year,
It will end on February 2, 2025.


It was a mysterious and fun show performed by three Blue Men without using words.

Even if you are not confident in your English, you can enjoy it 100%.
By saying

They were so popular that they toured not only the US but also around the world.

The original permanent New York production has finally come to a close.

For 34 years,
So that there will always be pleasant surprises no matter how many times you watch it,

Blue Man has been making small changes and improvements over time.

What will the content be like towards the final performance?


I'm sad it's ending

There's also the excitement of knowing what the Blue Man will do.


Blue Man originated in New York.

December, January, February (until the 2nd)

<57th Street, the prime location of NY's 5th Avenue, will be turned into a giant Louis Vuitton bag>

The store is undergoing major renovations over the next few years, so it's no wonder it's New York, Fifth Avenue, and Louis Vuitton.

Instead of using ordinary construction scaffolding, the entire renovation area was covered in Louis Vuitton, down to the smallest detail.


Prior to that,
A (tentative) flagship store will open next door.
Unveiling of the largest Louis Vuitton building in the United States.

The first Louis Vuitton Cafe (restaurant)
Louis Vuitton Chocolate Shop
Sales of NY exclusive items, etc.
Already a hot topic ✨

※Click here for the latest video↓
https://youtube.com/sho…


Just how fantastically luxurious will the real flagship store be when this bag-covered enclosure is removed in a few years?

This is a (temporary) store that we are very excited about.

There's one more thing to enjoy on 5th Avenue in New York!

It is a great honor to be chosen as this tree.
I will cherish the time that lies ahead until it is cut down, and live with pride.

And finally, on the evening of December 4th (Wednesday), there will be a grand lighting ceremony for this tree.

If you haven't made any plans for your winter holidays yet,
Please come to New York, the most glittering place of the year!


Ice skating at The Rink in Rockefeller Center

The latest technology, singing, dancing, and action are so amazing that the venue is full! I'm already excited!


And I'm happy that New York, the home of musicals, was chosen for their first overseas performance.

Japanese pop culture and anime are very popular in New York these days, so I'm sure the event will be packed with people of all races and generations.

Furthermore

People who like dancing and singing

[Running around NY]

Recently, I've been doing coordination for magazines.

In the sweltering heat
I was covering all over New York.



Several magazines with beautiful photos are scheduled to be published in Japan in the fall and winter.

Please look forward to it.



I was once involved in overseeing a famous New York guidebook.

The rapidly changing New York

Stores and trends change rapidly in just one year.


There was no Google Maps

I walked all over Manhattan and made a map.


In those days, there were still very few stores with websites.

Calling door to door

Check if the number has changed, and also check opening hours and holidays directly


Also, Brooklyn before the current boom.

I introduced it to the core, focusing on my beloved DeKalb and Bed-Stuy.



Take photos with a digital camera instead of a smartphone

Write a sentence

New York, which I built with my own feet and eyes

It's still firmly embedded in my body.

I'm making the most of all of this experience as a New York coordinator (I'm sure haha)

Thank you


from now on

"NY with Kimiko was the best"

I will continue to work hard so that you can say this!



I will upload the photos and videos overflowing on my smartphone to Instagram.
Please follow @KimikoHarlem too!
