BEST STAGE ZERO - Yami Kumo -

[Machine Translation] Remixes of 14 songs from 3 albums from the indie era plus live takes from the NY concert, for a total of 16 songs, remastered in New York and reissued in a digipak! This is a work that allows you to experience the trajectory of PE'Z, who were born on the streets, and who continued to run hard toward their dream of expanding overseas, and the moment when they transcended national boundaries and roared their SAMURAI SPIRIT in foreign lands, both in name and reality. A must-listen! Yakuun" is an album released immediately after the successful performance of PE`Z REALIVE 2005 "Setsu~FUSHI~" at NHK Hall in 2005, followed by a European tour in November 2005 and a North American tour in March 2006 (11 shows in 9 cities). The album is a selection of 14 songs from their three indie albums "pe`z", "Hayato", and "OKOKOROIRE". This album, which includes bonus tracks and live takes from New York, has been remixed and re-mastered with an awareness of the West, and is a hard-hitting work that can truly be called a letter of challenge from PE'Z. Even though it was released overseas, it is still a hard-hitting album. Although it was released overseas, it quickly became a hot topic of conversation among enthusiasts, and was reimported and distributed by some foreign stores, where it quickly disappeared. M16&17 Live takes were recorded at the Knitting Factory in New York City, a sacred place for rock music. The band was formed in 1999 by five members: OhyamaB.M.Wwataru ( Tp ), KadotaJAWKousuke ( Sax ), HiizumiMasayuki ( Key ), Nirehara Masahiro ( Wb ), and Wataru ( Dr ). The band's distinctive sound, which is based on jazz but incorporates Latin, rock, and other styles, and its overwhelming live performances that combine tension and dynamism, have gained a reputation for attracting crowds of sometimes more than 1,000 people at its street performances. Their one-man live shows were immediately sold out, and even before their debut, they were the talk of the town. In 2001, they released their indies debut mini-album "pe'z". The album won all the indies charts. In 2002, he made his major label debut with the mini-album "Akatsuki.
