AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Household Pulse: Japan’s FY2025 household spending inched up 0.1% in real terms—the first rise in three years—helped by a rebound in car buying, more entertainment spending tied to Osaka’s World Expo, and higher PC purchases as Microsoft support ends. Sports Spotlight: Kaoru Mitoma’s World Cup squad call is on hold as Brighton scans a hamstring injury; Japan’s camp is already missing Takumi Minamino after an ACL. Retail & Luxury: Tiffany & Co. is expanding in Asia with a new Hong Kong store at Lee Gardens, built like an art piece and paired with a Blue Box Cafe. Art & Culture: Dia Beacon in New York is set to open a major Lee Ufan show celebrating his 90th birthday, pairing 1970s–’90s paintings with Mono-ha sculptures. Local Events: Niigata is rolling out NIIGATA ULTRA SPARK, a citywide two-day festival on June 13–14 turning downtown into one big stage. Global Screen Buzz: Na Hong-jin’s sci-fi thriller “Hope” heads to Cannes competition, while “Michael” keeps climbing toward major box-office milestones.
