This is my first time to pre-order a DVD online. Well, I don't usually pre-order a concert DVD, but if I do, it will be the concert I watched it there! haha! Before I say anything here is a video of unboxing the DVD.
As what the title said, this DVD show Perfume 5th Tour 2014 「ぐるんぐるん」concert and the concert they showing is the one at Yoyogi National Gymnasium (国立代々木競技場) on their last day (21st Sept 2014) (I went on 20th Sept! T.T) They released Blu-ray and DVD in both limited edition and regular edition. What's the difference between limited edition and regular edition? Limited edition will have one more disc to show some extra footage of the concert and a photo booklet as shown in the video. I bought the DVD limited edition which cost around $83 including shipping fee (￥6,520) .
Limited Edition Regular Edition
Also there is a pre-order special item, which is a sticker!
Ok, its better than nothing. However, I was hoping the special item is a poster.
Now let's talk about the DVD! For Disc 1, obviously is the concert. How was the concert? I was already there and it was awesome! For fans who just started to support them in recent years got to see them perform some of their famous songs, and for the fans who support since their debut got to see them perform their first few singles' songs which they haven't perform in many years. So, it was a concert for all the young and old fans, and everyone was enjoying it! Till the end of the concert, there was a surprise from the fans to Perfume. Curious about it? Go buy their DVD and enjoy it yourself! haha. http://www.perfume-web.jp/news/individual.php?id=273
For Disc 2, there are a few extra footage of the concert. First is their running competition near the end of the concert. For this tour, they have going on a running competition and the winner will have a 1 year amount of Chocola BB drink (one of their sponsor). So in disc 2 they show their 4 days competition at Yoyogi. A quicky summary :
- 1st day: Nocchi vs Kashiyuka - Yuka chan win!
- 2nd day: Nocchi vs A~chan - A~chan win!
- 3rd day: Nocchi vs Kashiyuka again( revenge match) - Yuka chan win again!
- last day: All 3 members - A~chan win!
Fun note: before Yoyogi, Yuka chan had never win any match, so she been given a title "運動オンチ" (weak at sport). However, for 3 days straight Nocchi had lost the match and lost twice to Yuka chan, so Yuka chan was delightfully pass down her "title" to Nocchi~ LOL
Their sponsor, Chocola BB really give A~chan and Yuka chan 2 years worth chocola BB drink and also 4 bottles to Nocchi as a participation prize. haha
Besides that, Disc 2 also has a documentary of their last day of concert which is also their 9th Major Debut Anniversary! A main note of this documentary is Yuka chan talk about Perfume first ever happening in live tour on 20th Sept.
I was there when this happened! Mentioned in my previous blog. My First Live Concert in Japan! ~ Perfume 5th Tour 2014「ぐるんぐるん」
"After awhile, the big screen started playing some video but without any music and any of them on the stage. Then, Nocchi suddenly appeared on the stage and moved down again via a small lifter. There was an awkward blackout for few seconds, and that point of time I was a bit worry because I thought was it Achan or Kashiyuka suddenly faint down. But just a few seconds all 3 of them were back to the stage and Achan used her splendid MC skill apologize to us and said " Because there was a slight incident, that's why it is call LIVE concert!""
[Update]
Recently they went on a TV program and talked about the incident again. ( start from 6:35)
* A few weeks ago Perfume also announced their next single!!! Their first single in 2015, also the first single in their anniversary year!｢Relax In The City / Pick Me Up｣ Double A-side Single will be release on 29th April 2015, and I have pre-ordered it! Can't wait for it!
