Electric Mole Forums - View Single Post - New Tokyo Jihen Live DVD and Live Best Selection CD 2012

A potential advantage of a release like LIVE BEST SELECTION, is that if it's audio-only, then we could get performances where the auditory delivery was flawless while simultaneously the visual showmanship was far too lacking for a DVD release, and we'd be blown away nonetheless.

This compilation would be really cool if it included performances which weren't already available on DVD, and Domestic Virgin Line is merely the tip of that iceberg. Sure, it's a very well-received performance, but it would be a waste to try and squeeze more than 2-3 tracks of DVL onto a "best" CD spanning multiple tours. There's songs that were performed on-tour but excluded from the corresponding DVDs, and then there's Adult Only, Meet The World Beat, etc..

This is going to be the first Tokyo Jihen release where I'll really need to know more about it, before possibly agreeing to buy it. Everything else has been an automatic no-questions purchase for me.
