10th Anniversary Live Closer to ideal -Brandnew scene- [w/ T-shirt, Limited Edition]

Even though Hizumi wasn't at his best, but as this is the performance of D'espairsRay, it won't disappoint you. One word: awesome! Highly recommend for D'espa fans, especially the ones who didn't fall for their new songs. Bonus items are really nice too.

As is customary with D'espairsRay DVD issues, this one is coded All-region NTSC, so even if you are in region 1, as I am, you can watch this in your DVD player without doing anything funny to it. The T-shirt that comes with this set is black, men's size Med, although it looks like it fits larger than that. The graphic on the front is the same as on the regular cover of the DVD. Unfortunately, I'm not that fond of the rain forest motif, personally. The phone strap is white plastic with "D'ESPAIRSRAY" printed plainly in black on both sides. Simple, but nice. The booklet contains photos from the live. I really enjoyed watching the DVD and I look forward to watching it again. Great set list. It was thrilling to finally see some of my favourite songs from REDEEMER performed live, such as MASQUERADE ... and PARADOX 5 with full band (and backing track). While it's true that HIZUMI strained his voice occasionally (a decade of screaming probably takes its toll), I still think he sounded great overall. Needless to say, Karyu, ZERO and TSUKASA also performed very well, as always.

The DVD, comes with another DVD, and a mobile strap for your phone, a T-shirt,and photobook. I think its going to be really awsome, and I cant wait to see what they do. I hpe Hizumi's voice is good though, cause it wasnt that great at the V-Kei Jrock festival, he tried really hard though.
