Well, I'm not exactly a fan of MHA songs in Season 7 but it's okay edition, I just wish the artwork wasn't a separate one but oh well...

You will go in another musical world! There are only 2 songs in this CD with their musical versions. One might think that this is not a lot. But we do not judge a CD by the quantity of songs. In this case, we are in front of an artist of a level of vocal quality rarely reached nowadays. There is an almost magical, hypnotic aspect. As for the songs themselves, we reach a level of perfection that is truly of an emotionally overwhelming perfection. From the musical instruments chosen, there is an almost symphonic aspect... And all the more technical work done in the recording studio is also of a quality that we do not find enough nowadays. It is a very high quality work! This CD is like a powerful and magical mix of melodies that remind us of the most beautiful songs of the greatest singers of previous generations, but with very modern melodies. The restitution on CD is simply sublime: we almost have the feeling of listening to a Super Audio CD (DSD format, so high resolution!)... Finally we can say that after listening to this CD, it is difficult to come back down to Earth quickly: we are psychologically and emotionally as if in a state of weightlessness... I am waiting with great impatience for a next CD, and even more a first concert. If they are at this level of quality, it will be dazzling. A very beautiful revelation for your servant. Madame MoeMi is simply exceptional!!! As well as all the people who participated in the creation of this CD.

I did a side-by-side comparison of the Blu-ray edition and the DVD edition on my computer. While the quality difference is noticeable, I found that some close-up shots felt a bit grainy owing to the enhanced resolution. Overall, there is an improvement in fidelity. If you're a fan and already own the DVD, the upgrade is worth considering, but it’s not necessarily essential for everyone. If you don't own a copy—definitely buy this one!

An amazing cd from east of Eden it's a shame wakazaemon will be leaving after the second album but mina will be excellent

Another amazing cd from these incredible musicians I can't wait to hear more from them with their new bassist mina

I was a bit down about the news about WGB going on hiatus, and this was just the medicine I needed! Truth be told, I enjoyed this show just as much as any WGB Dai Shinnenkai shows. Yuko's voice is as amazing as ever, the musicians she's enlisted to play with her are a worthy as you'd expect, I really liked having a full time keyboardist. The songs from Cradle of Eternity all sounded great and I was glad to hear them played live finally (though I wish I could have heard a full version of a person fav, Yuki Dokei), and a certain WGB top hit is played as a finale, but the real stars of the show were the new (to me, at least) tracks around the middle of the show -- they were great! I love all WGB members and hope to continue to hear more from each of them as they pursue new projects, but it's very clear where the heart and soul of the band always was, and it very much lives on with this new Yuko and the Hana Band lineup!

I haven't played the music yet because I don't have a CD player yet, but I finally received it safe and sound after 1 month! The packaging is secure, and there were no scratches on it. Thank you!!

I am again impressed with a very nice deluxe box set from ano. The Limited first press comes with an ano acrylic figure. But the box itself comes with a acrylic diorama. I didnt understand at first why the first press acrylic did not have its own stand. The normal figure is ano in a large tshirt. The I replaced that with the first press figure with her in stage outfit. Rock on ano! There is also a guitar and her 'mascot' the puking cat to add to the stage. As I watch just disc one, the stage is nice. It is set up for ano to play guitar for songs alone, her band joins for some songs and then there is songs where she has her dance crew. So as far as I can tell, her solo songs are all here. Not just her pop vocal songs with backtrack, not just her guitar songs. It's the full range of ano. If you collect ano of any level, this is a good one to pick up for the diorama. Also a small but thick photobook of live shots.

Love Hanabie. This new EP is great. Keep Rockin'. I will make a note on the bluray. Girl's Talk is intentionally edited for some reason. There are many footnotes with offputting tones while muting various lines and words. It may say why somewhere in there, but only translated first line. "Some of the sound sources have been processed as the creator's intention, thanks for understanding" Not sure why that one song got hit with many edits like this. They muted just the mics, let the music on, but then put a tone over it all. The rest is all good. It is a fair thing to mention for future buyers. I live off of watching bluray lives, as I have no idea when my next trip to Japan is.

I have a bunch of her music and I love every album I have. I like the way she plays the violin. I love this album even though there are just three songs in it. I would give this album if hers ten stars if I could. She is an awesome musician.

Very good single as always from the mighty Skapara. The real draw here is the bonus disc with the live video - especially the tracks with the Man With A Mission guys. 5 stars easily!

Handsdown best vocal of any singer in this era of Japan. Her sweet tone and energy in each song track is hard to beat.

Great performance with lots of songs. Billed as an anniversary show but the setlist looks like a normal show, leaning heavily on the latest 3 albums. Not essential if you already have one of the other videos from the last couple years but a must have for fans.

3 songs showcasing 10-FEET's versatility; the title track has a bit of reggae, gg Sanzen is a punkier track and the last one is more pop-rock. Live footage is nice but basically the same 3-4 'hits' they always put on these bonus dvds. Recommend!

Amazing live record from Japan's most legendary punk band. The songs are from different performances but they are mixed together so well, it's not distracting. Great selection of songs. Good starting point if you want to check out the band. Train-Train and Linda Linda are cpassics not just in japan but globally, and for good reason. The Blue Hearts are up there with The Clash, the Ramones and the Misfits. Buy this.

Yet another masterpiece from this incredible band they can do now wrong as far as I'm concerned I absolutely love them

This is yet another really good concert from BoA. It's also the first time in awhile seeing her in a larger venue in Japan. She's overall fantastic and I love all her outfits throughout. She's still an incredible dancer and vocalist after more than 2 decades. She even mixes up some classic songs with some beautiful and fun arrangements. However, I was a tad disappointed that a couple songs (ie. Kono yo Shirushi and NO.1) she didn't sing in full. I loved seeing VERBAL & Crystal Kay appear as guests during the show. They're fantastic on stage with her. The show's ending involves a touching piece from the audience and fellow stage members, which leads to her getting rather emotional and messing up on the final song frequently missing out on staying focused on singing it properly. This is both cute yet a little irritating, and honestly a bit surprising to see her mess up after almost every second line. Nevertheless I do recommend adding this concert to your collection.
