Granted, I think some of these halls are much bigger than Zepp venues, but if they're trying to reduce the overhead costs of her tours by moving to smaller venues, then some staff probably have to go (it'll be interesting to see if dancers and performers get reduced over time too).
Didn't Namie Amuro have a live band in her concerts? Since Live Style 2011, she has been using studio tracks

On her instagram post, she says alongside being her first hall tour, the band members will NOT be present
