Otsuka Museum of Art
The location where he performed his hit song "Lemon" on television for the first time on the 2018 NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen. He created a fantastical candle display in the museum's Sistine Hall, and his overwhelming performance became a hot topic. It is one of the symbolic stages in his career, where art and music merged.

Since his major debut, this location has been frequently used as a shooting location for visual images such as artist photos and jacket photos.
