To mark the launch of the Project, on Saturday, October 25, 2025, the company will perform FINALBY , which created a new legend with a special performance that marked the end of 70 years of history at Osaka’s Ajinomoto Universe in July of this year. FINALBY , whose debut performance at FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL ’21 was hailed as the most unique stage in Fuji Rock history, performed at Hong Kong Art Week in March and at Ajinomoto Universe in Osaka in July, bringing an end to their 70-year history, will present a new immersive audio-visual live performance at ZEROTOKYO in the basement of Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, transforming the space itself into an artwork. ■Event overview Name FINALBY LIVE in Kabukicho EXPANDED presented by COSMIC LAB & TST ENTERTAINMENT CO.,LTD.

reincarnated again as an unconfirmed transcendental experience!!!!!!!” Naohiro Ukawa (DOMMUNE) July 5, 2025… Ajiuma Universe drew to a close after 70 years in Sennichimae, Osaka. ∈Y∋ of BOREDOMS and FINALBY , led by COSMIC LAB, transformed themselves into “funeral givers,” sending this psychedelic cultural layer of unbroken memories and traces off into the atmosphere. This historic memorial service, which honored and worshipped Sennichimae’s cultural landscape for 70 years and buried it with cutting-edge prayers utilizing the magic of XR, will likely hold great significance for the future cultural history of Osaka. Instead of a heart-breaking funeral procession, the universe was given a transcendental requiem through an exciting ceremony, and became a conceptual universe!!!!!!! And then, on October 25, 2025… this space-time transcending device will suddenly appear in Kabukicho, Tokyo!!!!! Having become a conceptual universe, the universe will break through the jungle of desires and passions dissolved in neon, and be reincarnated once again as an unidentified transcendental experience that defies gravity. Yes, FINALBY will appear here, here, and there, cutting through the distortions of space-time!!!!!!!!! On this night, ZEROTOKYO will reinstall the “memories of Sennichimae” into the body called Kabukicho. Summon this XR Ascension that encompasses the Akashic Records, time capsules, quantum computing, spiritual panoramas, and even the collective unconscious!!!!!!! ■”FINALBY appears as something that signals the end and beginning of an era.” – Tomoko Yabumae (Curator, Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo) In the summer when the COVID-19 pandemic finally showed signs of ending, FINALBY appeared suddenly and strangely during core time on the WHITE STAGE at FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL ’21. Their performance, along with the powerful livestream that blended the virtual and physical, could be said to be one of the most significant cultural events of this stagnant period. And then, in July of this year, on the final day of business at Ajizono Universe, a deep spot in Osaka, we witnessed this historic space, filled with light and shadow for 70 years, being handed over to an open-ended future. FINALBY appears as something that signals the end and beginning of an era. In this world, device objects themselves become entities with their own will, interacting with the audience. Together with the intermediary ∈Y∋, they are subjected to the force of the Earth’s rotation, creating a vortex of sound as they continue to rotate in one direction. As we surrender ourselves to this ritual-like space, our consciousness is catapulted far away at high speed (like the (sa)cone ∈Y∋ threw at Fuji Rock). Next, we travel from Shinjuku’s Kabukicho to the beginning of some unknown universe. ■ZEROTOKYO

With a capacity of 1,500 people, it is one of the largest in the area, and the latest video and lighting systems built by COSMIC LAB and Faith Property enable a truly immersive music and video experience that can only be found here. In keeping with Shinjuku’s Kabukicho area, which is now known worldwide for its diverse culture, this new facility embodies Tokyo, inviting music artists from a variety of genres and disseminating unique live music entertainment content both domestically and internationally. ■COSMIC LAB

His representative works include an audio-visual live performance with ∈Y∋(BOREDOMS), the theatrical art piece “THE TRIP” co-produced with JEFF MILLS, and “1200 Years of Light at Mount Koya,” which combines the chanting of 100 monks with visual art. Focusing on post-XR (expanded reality), he created a visual production system that erases the boundaries between the physical and virtual, and installed it at “ZEROTOKYO / Zepp Shinjuku (TOKYO).” ■ Linkage with “DOMMUNE KABUKICHO”
