Thanks tsukigimehime for posting this! I will try to get on with more of them on my end...holidays just got away from me a bit.

Back on topic, Expo 14 does feature an over-emphasis on visuals, but to say that the concert is nothing more than the visuals and lacks audio-only replay value (as was suggested at the time) I think is greatly underestimating it. I've listened to it a number of times since, mostly driving in the car so with no visuals, and IMO there's plenty of substance there. There were a couple of performances that were sub-par (NIPPON in particular), but a number that were really great. Souretsu was excellent, as zordon says; I'd say it was *almost* as good as the '09 performance. Kinjirareta Asobi was also excellent; so were the new songs from Sunny. Expo 14 also introduced Saihate ga Mitai, the live rendition of which I enjoyed.
