Direction
Captures stadium-scale intimacy despite Tokyo Dome enormity.
Score
Live orchestra merging with speed metal — absolutely unhinged.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
YOSHIKI's drum riser rotated 360 degrees; he designed it himself to disorient the audience.
This concert cemented the Tokyo Dome as the sacred temple of Japanese rock; no visual kei act had sold it out twice before.
