Just before the opening, members of Spitz, who also serve as the audio guide for this exhibition, visited the venue. 37 years have passed since the band was formed in 1987, and Spitz continues to be active on the front lines, and their activities continue to shape a unique world. This exhibition focuses on the national tour “SPITZ JAMBOREE TOUR ’23-’24 ‘HIMITSU STUDIO'” held in support of the hit album “Himitsu Studio”, and allows you to experience the trajectory of his activities since 2013 and his current location. It is held with the concept of asking people to do something and connecting it to the future. Tokyo City View, the exhibition venue, will be reopened in April 2021 and will be a base for entertainment that drives the world’s leading culture. You can fully experience the charm of the Spitz in a dynamic exhibition space that combines an 11m-high open space with glass walls and the view from a skyscraper. First, the three giant objects that were actually used on the arena tour of “SPITZ JAMBOREE TOUR ’23-’24 “HIMITSU STUDIO”” will appear. The objects are “Strawberry & Pliers (approx. 5m x 3.5m / weight 365kg)”, “Skateboard (approx. 1.8m x 6m / weight 165kg)”, “Tour Logo Sign (approx. 4.2m x 2.4m / weight 290kg)” “You might be able to tell from the specs, but you’ll be surprised at how big it is. You’ll be overwhelmed by the power that you couldn’t experience from the audience seats, and you’ll be able to appreciate once again Spitz’s commitment to stage art, which is typical of Spitz, so please enjoy it from all angles. In addition, there are photos and materials related to the tour taken in various parts of Japan, and stories related to the “local stickers” of each venue that were sold during the tour are also revealed, so be sure to check them out.

By viewing the 8K footage of “SPITZ JAMBOREE TOUR ’23-’24 “HIMITSU STUDIO”” shot with four 360-degree cameras using PICO’s high-performance VR goggles “pico neo 3pro,” you will feel as if the members are right there. You can experience the feeling of being instantly transported to a space where you feel as if you are performing. Furthermore, we have built the latest and finest system that allows you to listen to MIX by Toru Takayama, who has worked on many Spitz works, with FOCAL’s
professional headphones “Listen Professional”. There is no doubt that you will experience an immersive experience that you have never experienced before. There are 3 songs available for viewing. The period is divided into 1st to 3rd period, the 1st period “Jobbe” (period: November 8th to November 28th), the 2nd period “Obake no Rock Band” (period: November 29th to 12th) (Monday 19th), and the third period “Meguri Megutte” (period: December 20th to January 15th), so you are sure to enjoy new discoveries no matter how many times you visit. Regarding the quality of VR, the Spitz members themselves enthusiastically spoke in the audio guide, saying, “I think everyone will be very moved by it, so I hope they enjoy watching it.” In the final corner, the four of them will ask questions about the future. I would like you to think about Spitz’s current location and future while writing down your own answers to the questions received from the members.
