Fukuoka Parco will hold events featuring comedian Ryuji Akiyama ahead of its February 28, 2027 closure for redevelopment. The Kitakyushu-born member of comedy trio Robert will serve as a special supporter marking 100 days until closure on November 21. An Akiyama Hyakkaten pop-up store runs November 20–29, with a photo session featuring Akiyama on November 21. He will also appear at a music festival at UNITEDLAB that day. Advertisements featuring Akiyama began appearing on November 4, and the plans also include original in-store announcements. Source: TNC News / Parco
