Namie Amuro 5 Major Domes Tour

Before the beginning of the tour, Amuro planned her "Namie Amuro 20th Anniversary Live in Okinawa" concert in her home prefecture of Okinawa for mid-September 2012, but this was cancelled due to Typhoon Sanba affecting Okinawa at the time. An 8-day dome tour across Japan, titled "5 Major Domes Tour ~20th Anniversary Best~", was held in November and December 2012, featuring performances in Fukuoka, Osaka, Sapporo, Nagoya and Tokyo.^[1] On July 24, after all of the concert dates had sold out, an extra concert was added in Nagoya.^[2]

The Asian leg of the tour, promoted as "Namie Amuro Asia Tour 2013", was conducted early the following year. Originally, a show was scheduled in Singapore at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on April 26, 2013; this would have been Amuro's first concert in Singapore. However, the tour's website announced that the concert would be cancelled, citing "issues concerning the local promoter", which was later changed to "local technical reasons". Some speculated that the cancellation may have actually been related to poor ticket sales.^[3]

The 2012 dome tour attracted a total of 340,000 people in Japan, while the 2013 Asia tour attracted 20,000 people in Taipei and 10,000 people in Hong Kong. China Times reported that the Taipei concerts generated about NT$60 million (US$2,022,000) in total revenue from ticket sales, as well as an additional NT$50 million ($1,685,000) in tourism revenue from overseas fans traveling to Taiwan to attend the concerts.^[4]
