Kiss/Tokyo,Japan 4.11.2019

KISS’s last performance in Japan is truly shaking the archipelago. The latest original sound source that conveys the scene has been decided to be released. This work was recorded on “December 11, 2019: Tokyo Dome performance”. This is a full audience recording. Their Japan tour is currently being held with great acclaim, and even as this article is being updated, they are still performing in Osaka. First of all, in order to get a feel for the “now”, let’s check the show’s position from their last visit to Japan. Let’s keep this in mind ・December 8th: Xebio Arena Sendai ・December 11th: Tokyo Dome ←★This work★ ・December 14th: Morioka Takaya Arena ・December 17th: Kyocera Dome Osaka ・December 19th: Dolphins Arena, total of 5 performances. A live performance was just held at Tokyo Dome a week ago. At this very moment, records are appearing one after another. “TOKYO DOME 2019” with two sound sources will be released, but this work is a “third live album” that is completely different from that. This work is an audience recording with plenty of listening pleasure. It is an original master only for this work given by the recording artist himself, but the most wonderful thing is the vocals. Anyway, both Paul and Gene have clear singing voices. Although it absorbs the sound typical of a dome, the vocal with a sharp outline pierces straight through the middle of it. Even when the choruses overlap or a large chorus erupts, each word of the lyrics remains very clear without being mixed up. Of course, it’s not just the vocals. It seems that some people were surprised by the vividness of the bass sound at the scene, but the rough texture and sharp cutting of the guitar are also vivid. Looking at the overall balance, it’s true that it’s focused on vocals, but “easy to listen to songs” equates to “anyone can enjoy it.” The show drawn with such a sound is a greatest hits that can be called “KISS’s final answer”. Let’s organize the contents here. ●70s (14 songs)・KISS: Deuce/100,000 Years/Cold Gin/Black Diamond・HOTTER THAN HELL: Let Me Go, Rock’n’Roll・DRESSED TO KILL: Rock and Roll All Night・DESTROYER: Detroit Rock City ／Shout It Out Loud／God Of Thunder／I Love It Loud／Beth・ROCK AND ROLL OVER：Calling Dr. Love・LOVE GUN：Love Gun・DYNASTY：I Was Made For Lovin’ You ●80’s (4 songs)・CREATURES OF THE NIGHT: War Machine・LICK IT UP: Lick It Up・ANIMALIZE: Heaven’s On Fire・CRAZY NIGHTS: Crazy Crazy Nights ●Remake era (2 songs + α)・PSYCHO CIRCUS: Psycho Circus・SONIC BOOM: Say Yeah!・Others: Sukiyaki…and it looks like this. I should have organized it, but this volume. This means not only the number of songs, but also the breadth of music that cannot be sorted out. In fact, if you look at the above, there is one song from each album except for “KISS” and “DESTROYER.” It would be difficult to change the set since it was a super spectacular show full of tricks, so I think they put a lot of thought into it. It is a show that can be enjoyed by fans who met KISS in any era. Their final encounter will remain as an everlasting memory. The final performance in Tokyo rocked Tokyo Dome with great hits and passionate performances that reflected this determination. This is a live album where you can experience the entire story from start to finish with great sound. Even if you think a 4-disc set is a little heavy, we hope you will enjoy the full show full of emotion.
