[quote="MyFoot"]Any extras bundled in for preordering that we know of? Just wondering before I preorder from Amazon JP if CD Japan or HMV has some extra or bonus like in the old days.[/quote]

I dunno, the bluray box I ordered from Amazon JP still had the extras.

Song samples are on the Amazon Japan page.

I could have misread the shitty Google Chrome auto-translate of the Amazon JP page, but it said if you pre-ordered , your order will be processed and shipped on the 16th right?

This is a most happy 916... my blu-ray is at the post office, so hopefully I'll be picking that up tonight if I'm able! I'll have MP3 rips up by the end of the week, most likely. Friggin stoked right now

DHL just knocked on my door...I'm only just finishing track 2 Be Careful of Lovespy....guys....I just came.


It's as amazing as we'd hoped. Crazy good performances. Manabe's solos are melting my face off.

That sounds promising for the 25th anniversary show!

Here's this [i]brilliant[/i] piece of work.

I won't spoil myself watching those since I got the bluray and about a rock n roll band.

Thank you for the About a Rock n Roll single, can't wait to unpack and listen to it and the bsides!

And MyFoot is absolutely right... you will all come hard when you watch this DVD. Seriously, Manabe is a friggin beast during this entire performance, and Love Spies especially stood out. Naked Shuffle was amazing and full of energy, and Sawao came out without his guitar for the final encore of Toy Dolls and Primer Beat, making for a really interesting end of the show. Still haven't watched the 1st Movement show, that'll be tomorrow since I have plans tonight, but the DVD is absoultely amazing by the merits of the Second Movement show alone. You guys WILL NOT be disappointed!

lmao that's the most ridiculous gif I've ever seen.

Holy shit, Sawao's voice is damn near perfect in that Future video. I can't wait for my BD to come in.

I wish Mare would get around to translating it.

Figured I'd post this here, lest it get buried, but here's an MP3 of the acoustic Another Morning that Mafu uploaded from the livestream on 916:

So I got around to watching the rest of the new DVD, and the 1st Movement show was in short, amazing. I'm not even exaggerating in the least, but this was a VERY tight performance by the band, even with Kenji being involved. I can't remember the last time I heard the band playing so cohesively, I don't even remember hearing any flubs, as I did hear a few during the 2nd Movement show.

But the band was spot on. Manabe with his solos, Sawao with the vocals, and Kenji did an awesome job grooving on the bass and providing those backup vocals. They sounded very very similar to what we heard on the record so many years ago. Highlights from that show was seeing them play Energy, that really got the crowd going. Ame ni Uteba was a real treat too, and for a split second, Sawao sounded just like how he sung on the album originally. By that, I mean there were a couple notes he sung where it sounded like he was "singing with dumplings in his mouth", to quote him from the 916 DVD.

Probably the funniest moment came at the end, right before the second encore. Even with my lack of Japanese translating skills, I picked up on this one quick. Sawao and Kenji had just gotten done joking around (seemingly about Sawao's hair which appeared to be a running gag throughout the show) and then Sawao says into the microphone, "Jun, where are you at anyway?" And from somewhere in the back of the crowd Jun yells, "HERE!" Holy crap, I was dying! Everyone was cracking up in the venue too, it was pretty great. I sincerely hope you all get to see this soon, what an awesome show it was, and I'm so glad it was recorded. Again, I'll try and get MP3 rips up this weekend, but I am working, so we'll see what happens.

Hopefully when I get them up we can get some rudimentary translations of what was said during the banter of both shows. There was a lot of it going on and I'm sure it'd shed some light on some questions we've been asking for a while now.
