Requiem et Reminiscence -Shuen to seijaku-

Yet another great live! I was once again moved to tears! Gackt really knows how to put on one heck of a show! I especially loved when he performed Sayonara, really stirring. And him playing with the kitties was fun to watch. Loved the pants :)

For any fan of Gackt, this DVD is definitely a must-buy. He sings perfectly, never singing out of tune, and he doesn't seem to get out of breath as easily as he did with MARS. He's obviously grown since then, and it shows. While the movie bits might be difficult to understand, I don't see how that would affect anyone's judgement of the entire concert, which is simply phenomenal. It starts dark, with a dark set, and later moves to become spectacular and seductive. Whereas in the first part you can see Gackt freaking out whilst singing the beautiful rock song Maria, in the second part you can see him jumping around on a stage filled with Cats. It's madness, it's beautiful, it's Gackt.

No words can describe the sheer brilliance of this concert. I just finished watching the DVD in its entirety and am at a loss for words. "Requiem et Reminiscence -Shuen to seijaku-" is, without a doubt, one of Gackt's best lives (in my opinion, anyway). His vocals are strong (stronger than the MARS concert), he is pitch perfect, and his performances are awe-inspiring. Granted, this concert is set on a darker tone/setting (particularly in the beginning). But one must remember that the REBIRTH album isn't as light-hearted as MARS is. The only thing that SORT of confused me was the movie bits; I wasn't too sure what was going on there. But I assure you, it will not hinder the overall enjoyment of this concert. All in all, I HIGHLY enjoyed 'Requiem' and recommend it to all Gackt fans. It is a concert not to be missed.
