Personally I hate the intermission in okonomide. I probably have the same rip as you do. And it's even two seprete tracks for the first half and the second half.

Tadashii Machi & Odaiji ni on this DVD are mindblowing. Before EM I didn't care much for TM... Now I do.

In my opinion, this is the best concert DVD ever. I lose my breath somewhere in the beginning and don't get it back until she takes the final tone of Odaijini.

Linnea, you always describe everything so nicely!! >_< <3

@_@ I think I'll love this scene, too... Ahh man, I need to buy this DVD now. T_T

Yeah get it before it becomes out of print!

I think exactly the same. To me Tadashii Machi wqas a very generic pop-rock song before the Electric Mole performance. That's a great show !

Just watched this again.
OMGGGG. Shitty editing aside, this is such a great performance. Before you Phase 2 fanboys dismiss Hirama as the overbearing guitarist who plays only power rock, please watch this again and play close attention to what he plays on Mesai and compare it to the KZK version. The EM version with Hirama on guitar is clearly superior. Hirama does some super groovy stuff on this song which is clearly audible but not overbearing at all. That's the difference between Hirama and Ukigumo. Hirama = grooooovy. Ukigumo = country (which sucks)

I think the problem with people comparing Phase 1/2 and then deciding that phase 2 is superior clearly forgot about the glorious period of the Double-Six Ecstasy tour. HZM was practically replacing every "odd" instrument on KZK, no mean feat okay.

Tokyo Jihen phase 0, best phase ever.

JR, how does it feel completing an eloquent passage full of subjectivity?

I feel sad because the new TJ stuff does not allow me to do this anymore.
And if I was really all that subjective, I wouldn't have mentioned that the editing on EM was sloppy.

i can't believe this was almost four years ago now.

Ringo had an OSCA guitar!!
