☆High-bitrate Blu-ray video using XAVEL label's original, superb sound master for the audio.

☆Excellently balanced source recorded at the venue's best acoustic sweet spot. Superb audience recording with clear sound using omnidirectional microphones that fully convey the atmosphere of the venue.

☆Superb sound quality that can be described as "another definitive version" of the April 24th performance (Day 6). Superb sound that can only be heard on this Blu-ray.

Live at Budokan 2025, a whirlwind of 8 performances. The April 24th performance (Day 6) is fully recorded with original audience shots. This Blu-ray is from Alexander, the video division of XAVEL label.

The video itself contains the same content as the DVD included with the limited edition of the previously released press CD, but you can enjoy the high-bitrate image quality unique to Blu-ray. This must-see video was filmed from the front stands, capturing the screen above the stage. Similar to the fifth day's performance, it boasts a multi-camera, professional-shot-like quality, offering incredibly clear and stable footage that is sure to be one of the definitive videos of this tour.

However, the biggest selling point of this release, despite being a video item, lies in its audio. Specifically, the audio for this video uses another audience master recorded from the same position as the previously released press CD, allowing you to enjoy the entire live performance with a superb, clear sound that can only be experienced with this release. To briefly summarize the difference in sound character between this release and the previously released press CD, it is as follows:

◎Previously released press CD (MK4 unidirectional microphone) = Less sense of presence (+ audience noise). A thick sound with excellent reproduction of the mid-range frequencies. The exceptional tone of the guitar sound, in particular, is noteworthy and can only be achieved by using this microphone in this position.

◎This Blu-ray video (high-quality omnidirectional microphone) = greater sense of presence (+ audience noise). A clean sound with a slightly bass-heavy emphasis. The mid-range frequencies, which include the fundamental tones and low harmonics of guitar and bass, are somewhat thin. The bright, clear, and pleasant sound quality has led some to feel that it sounds better than a unidirectional microphone.
