I see LUNA SEA has become DIR EN GREY-levels of annoying with the constant DVD releases, lol...

[carddass 273]

Yeah, most of the previous live DVD/blu-ray releases contain tracks they've mostly played to death and are hardly different from each other minus a few key songs.

This one is somewhat different in that at least they're playing the whole new album.

But jeez, those price tags are not really fan friendly.

[sugibo 403]

so they just cut the songs from the shows we saw many times to make a dvd?

 

who's idea?

[Danao 759]

For once they played all new songs on a live, not just classic LUNA SEA songs BUT they decide to release a live DVD with the new songs only (+ the album but well)

 

THIS IS STUPID OMFG , they should have released that one full live in which they played all the new songs, especially for that price, 56€ for that, it's insane

[Jigsaw9 6783]

^ It's pretty dumb, yeah... Like I kinda understand how they wanted to showcase only all the new stuff like for example BUCK-TICK did with the 13th Floor with Diana DVD. But at least with B-T's release there was a whole theatrical concept / vague storyline to it, not just a regular (albeit gigantic) concert like here. xD

Even though I love these guys, the DVD releases are getting annoying.

 

HOWEVER, if they don't release DVD's of the Lunatic fest (including all bands) I will fucking throw a tantrum

[Danao 759]

There will never be a DVD box set with the whole Lunatic Fest, it's impossble, there will be way too many hours of live, too many bands, and so damn expensive

 

Well, just to know, did they release the whole hide memorial summit as a DVD set some years ago ? if yes I guess there's a chance, but highly doubt it XD

[Takadanobabaalien 3607]

well, it doesn't have to be the entire gig of all bands but some live clips from every band would be nice lol. although if they do release a DVD from that live it will probably be luna sea's gig both days and muteki band (if they do it).

[Jigsaw9 6783]

It would be cool if they released footage from their festival like B-T did for theirs, i.e. 1 disc per day with 1 song by each artist and then the full set of the main band.

Buck Tick came out with a DVD release of their 2012 Parade lives. Although from the looks of it, it was more of a tease since it only contained one song from each guest act. However with torrenting what it is, you can find the a WOWOW broadcast with more than what the DVD ever offered.

 

Likewise the Hide memorial was almost fully broadcast in HD and shared via torrenting so fortunately fans outside of Japan didn't miss 'seeing' that live. Although I foolishly never downloaded the HD stream (usually those are the first to die or disappear due to the size), the SD streams are pretty easy to find.

 

Being that Luna Sea has to juice concert profits by selling broadcasting rights to all of their shows, I wouldn't doubt if the Lunatic Fest will be online soon enough like most of their other recent concerts in the last few years. To me a good 1080i satellite rip of an uncut live is infinitely better than a DVD, edited-down digest version or nothing at all.
And while broadcasting rights might be easier to achieve, there's lots of roadblocks when it comes to negotiating with bands from different labels / managements in order to actually have their material be released under another label. Hence the Buck Tick On Parade DVD only features the BT covers the other bands did.
