"They should come to FL for once. Last time they were scheduled here was around five years ago and the show was cancelled."



Tell me about it, they only ever play two date in London when they do their annual every 4/5 years trip to England, so I have to travel all the way down to see them. Pisses me right off how they just miss the whole of England these days. They used to do quite a few dates in the early days.

Yeah it sucks, especially since they'll never do a tour as good as the Ghoul tour again.

Whoever loves the album has to watch the show, as it is really amazing.

Hearing Tousei live is nothing short of soul-shattering; way more emotive than the studio version.

3rd to last song gently crushes me. Every time. The build-up from 3:20 particularly has a subtle form of intensity that just grows. And then the extended chorus comes in, with an even bigger wall of sound. Pushes the right buttons, that it does.

Budokan Day 2 started with it and it was wonderful.

Best song on here, and it's stunning in the Budokan show.

I also saw that one on YT recently. Best live version of the song I've heard. There have been some shaky performances outside of Japan vocal-wise. But I somehow felt Kyo would nail it when the Budokan version came on.

It was dazzling to hear the Budokan rendition of Kukoku no Kyouon, and I also liked that Diru actually performed Child Prey on Day 1. They played Obscure on the second day, albeit the newer variant.

They were tight in the songs I've seen from the show, many of which were from Arche. They played this in full one of the days, right? Cos if not, it might've been a different Budokan performance of Kukoko I saw then.

It has been played in full during both days, but Day 2 has a different order. You can tell them apart by Kyo's presentation.

@Dis: You really should watch the entire Budokan show, seriously.

"You can tell them apart by Kyo's presentation."

Raul Julia's up in Heaven and he's probably proud of Kyo's swagger on Day 2.
