Eiichi Ohtaki’s NIAGARA 50th Odyssey

Eiichi Ohtaki’s NIAGARA 50th Odyssey

“Eiichi Ohtaki’s NIAGARA 50th Odyssey” will be held at Shinsaibashi PARCO 5th ANNIVERSARY!

Eiichi Otaki's special exhibition "Eiichi Ohtaki's NIAGARA 50th Odyssey" commemorating the 50th anniversary of the founding of Niagara Records, held at New Gallery in Jimbocho, Tokyo, will be held at the Premium Gallery Select Shop on the 4th floor of Shinsaibashi PARCO. “If I had an office of Niagara Records in Jimbocho, Tokyo now.…Based on the concept, the exhibition, which was held this summer at Jimbocho New Gallery, attracted a great response as a multifaceted attempt to trace the history of Niagara from valuable archives and artwork as a starting point. In conjunction with the world view of the exhibition, "Eiichi Ohtaki's NIAGARA 50th Odyssey Remix EP" (released on July 7, 2025), which includes Cornelius, Schadalapa, Night Tempo, Sasuke Haraguchi, Daiki Chiba (from Kroi) and Mega Shinnosuke, was also announced, marking the commemorative year from both visual and auditory perspectives.

While inheriting the concept at Jimbocho, the special exhibition was reconstructed in the space of Shinsaibashi PARCO Premium Gallery, Osaka venue. Since its opening in 2020, Shinsaibashi PARCO has been advocating “NEW COMPLEX” where “things and things” and “daily life and art” intersect, and this year marks the fifth anniversary of this year, the theme is “premont” that represents a new step forward. In response to this context, this exhibition will form the core of the 5th anniversary period, along with a multi-layered program that increases the thickness of the celebration.

From Jimbocho, Tokyo to Shinsaibashi, Osaka, please take a look at the continuation of Odyssey, which connects the east and west.

In the spring of 2025, we opened at Shinsaibashi PARCO as a special space that combines art galleries, limited select shops, and invited lounges. With limited items and sophisticated space proposals that can only be found here, we will provide special moments for important customers. You can enjoy a "interactive appreciation experience" in a sophisticated interior, drink service, and high-quality time with records.

After disbanding Happy End in 1973, he founded his own label "Niagara" in 1975. In addition to producing work such as Sugar Babe, he continues to present various works, laying the foundation for current Japanese pops. The historical record "A Long Vacation" released in 1981 recorded a cumulative shipment of 3 million copies. It has also been highly evaluated from overseas as a representative work of the global city pop movement. In 2025, we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Eiichi Otaki Niagara Records.
