A number song to go with my other post about a number band.

THE NUMBERS MASON, WHAT DO THEY MEAN? No idea to be honest.

This is a more melancholic song by one of my favorite girl rock bands, nicely contrasting IMO the singers "cute" voice.

@[email protected] did the live bluray you ordered arrive? There are unfortunately not many live videos of this band on YT, only shorts...

Yes, I did receive the live Bluray and I've seen the concert now multiple times.

The sound is perfect, camera work is good (not many unfocussed frames), image quality is very high (although you can see some "flickering" when the cameras shutter speed doesn't match with frequency of the lightning) and there are interesting camera angles. There aren't too many cuts (that's good IMO, I dont't like it when there are four cuts per second and you can't see a thing). The sound of the Bluray doesn't seem to be much post processed (auto tune and the like) if at all. You can hear it if the singer can't reach a high note (but that occurs rarely). Nethertheless, the singer's live performance is extremly good. It sounds like a studio recording. Mixing is also very good, you can hear everything very clear (I do not own any good audio equipment to judge that but with normal speakers or headphones it sounds very good).

All negative points I've mentioned above are really, really minor. You may not even be able to notice them. The Bluray is of very high quality.

Only thing I'm missing is a live performance of "GIRL AND", my favorite song from them. The concert was held last year, so there wasn't a chance that they could play it ๐Ÿ˜‰

I'm very satisfied with the purchase and will surely buy the next concert Bluray as well.

TLDR: Overall, 5/7. Would recommend to buy the Bluray. ๐Ÿ˜„

Cool, thanks! So it was this one? https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/VIZL-2143 Maybe I'll treat my self too.

Did you order it directly from Japan or via an importer in Germany?

Yes, the link you posted above is correct. I've ordered directly from Japan through cdjapan. All the stuff I'm ordering from Japan is mostly through cdjapan. I never had problems and the packaging quality is outstanding.
