GOD BLESS YOU ~One Night Dejavu~
Being extremely fond of LUNA SEA as I am, it will be no surprise that I am heaping praise upon this DVD. Indeed, being so fond of LUNA SEA, I have watched almost all of their live performances on video with the exception of the Manatsu and Mafuyu releases. I would say that in comparison to their previous live videos, this DVD is probably one of their best ever.
I encountered the advertising truck outside Harajuku station (with END OF SORROW playing at full volume) just as I was contemplating between charging 1000 or 2000 yen to my Suica card. This lead to a loud exclamation of "OMG!!!", therefore drawing attention to the many ordinary folk around me that I am indeed a silly loud-mouthed foreigner. As much as I would like to be not easily persuaded by such advertising tactics, it still made my day.
- The energy of the live was fantastic. None of the underlying anger/frustration/sadness of 2000's Final Act nor the sometimes nervous trepidation of their younger days. Everyone is happy to be back, having mellowed and matured in the past 7 years, they are in top form and ready to kick ass live.
- The sound quality is excellent. Unlike the crappy clips that surfaced on YT, this one is tweaked very nicely to perfection. Quote from friend, "I didn't know their songs could sound so good"
- Excellent editing that gives an overall great representation of the live. Plus those great little close-up touches, which fans will love and undoubtedly pause and rewind again to catch just that bit of OMG INORAN MAKING A CUTE FACE! and other fun moments.
