he number of pre-orders for the live DVD&Blu-ray “Namie Amuro Final Tour 2018 ~ Finally” (to be released on August 29th), the final tour of Namie Amuro (40) who will retire on September 16th, has surpassed half a million copies. The DVD&Blu-ray was just announced a week ago on June 3rd.

The most recent DVD&Blu-ray release of hers to come close to a half-million is “namie amuro 5 MajorDomes Tour 2012 – 20th Anniversary Best ~” released in February of 2013 and selling 350,000 copies. Namie has been a top selling soloist when it comes tour DVDs, but she has quickly surpassed her own record with this release.

The “goodbye demand” for Namie’s final DVD is expected to increase and get close to, if not surpass, Arashi’s “5 × 10 All the best! CLIPS 1999-2009 ” (released in October 2009) which sold 940,000 copies, setting a new record for the singer.

The DVD/Blu-ray comes in 5 versions and includes the final Tokyo Dome show and 25th Anniversary Okinawa live with every copy, and a different dome live with special editing.
