So, for those who have the Blu-ray, is it Stereo like Ultra C? You would think EMI would jump on the bandwagon and actually utilize Blu-ray properly with high-quality surround sound audio.

It's 48Khz 24bit stereo. I don't like surround much (even though I have a decent enough surround system), so it works for me.

I wonder how does she do it. She's becoming more and more like a geisha on stage, every single blinking, every finger movement is calculated to the most subtle detail. A bit of delicacy over here, confidence right there, accurate eroticism, femininity all the way through.

I'm honestly having a hard time remembering much of this DVD/Blu so I'm just going to do a quick hit sort of thing...

Highlights:
- Ringo giving InaudibleWhispa the finger in Kabuki.
- Denki no nai Toshi. The album version was a letdown for me, but it's great live.
- Atarashii Bunmei Kaika. I can forgive some spottiness because of how good Hata, Kameda, Ringo, and the guitar solo were.
- Handsome Sugite. Underrate song.

Lowlights:
- Himitsu. Sorry, DG, the rap is still horrible. To top it off, the performance of the actual song wasn't very good either.
- Sora ga Natteiru. Just terrible. This is the type of song you're supposed to rock hard live. Instead they just labor through it.
- Senkou Shoujo. By far the worst performance of the song. No passion.

This is my favorite tour video. I actually had fun watching it instead of getting bored like the JCHI and Spa & Treatment. The band was really outputting some energy and didnt appear to just be going through the motions.

I also enjoyed looking at the strategic place where the tambourine microphone was placed. yummy.

You really think Tengoku, Sora ga, Dopamint, Senkou Shoujo weren't just going through the motions? The first 30 minutes was almost completely lacking energy. They didn't start hitting their stride until Osorubeki otona-tachi.

Oh my BlueApple,

I was about to post something related: while I don't find Kameda's compositions even remotely appealing here (except for that amazing sorta bass riff of Denpa Tsuushin) and usually anywhere, on the other hand he really, REALLY seems to enjoy what he writes.
