Janet Jackson / Kanagawa, Japan – June 13, 2026 – Complete IEM Matrix Edition & More

This release captures the opening night of the 2026 Japan tour—held on June 13 at K-Arena Yokohama—in a special edition that includes a full recording via a multi-stereo IEM matrix source and a DVD featuring high-quality audience-shot footage. The audio utilizes a multi-IEM matrix mix that perfectly balances the individual stereo IEM feeds used by the band members on stage (each with unique mix balances) against a digital audience source; this results in a recording that captures the full live sound of the large ensemble—centered on Janet’s vocals—with astonishing separation and clarity. Although some tracks contain the click tracks or guide cues inherent to IEM sources, these have been carefully edited to be virtually imperceptible, delivering a “hybrid sound” throughout that rivals soundboard quality. The DVD footage, shot on a digital camera from a 4K master, offers a perfect, unobstructed view of the entire stage from the front-right side; furthermore, the audio is synchronized with the CD’s multi-IEM matrix source, resulting in a quality that is light-years ahead of the fragmented clips found on YouTube. The show’s structure differs significantly from the tour two years prior; spanning approximately one hour and forty minutes, the setlist highlights tracks from *Control*, *Rhythm Nation 1814*, and *janet.* alongside key songs from other albums. Beyond the changes in song order and staging, the hits are performed with fresh, modern arrangements. A definite highlight comes near the end with the performance of Michael’s “Scream,” featuring footage of her late brother Michael on the big screen—a deeply moving moment where Janet performs alongside him thirty years later, just as she did on the previous tour.
