Osaka Expo: NTT Pavilion

NTT Pavilion at the Osaka World Expo.

An experience that allows us to share sensations across time and space.

Through Perfume's live performances

After traveling back and forth between the two Osaka World Expos—in 1970 and 2025—

Performers and audiences from Japan and Taiwan come together as one to enjoy Super Kabuki.

President Shimada was at the venue, and I couldn't help but say, "It's the real thing," right in front of him.

I don't know what's "real" anymore.

This feeling can't be captured on film.

I was given a glimpse of the future.

Thank you very much to Executive Vice President Kawazoe, Mr. Omori, and everyone at NTT.
