Description
“THE RHAPSODY TOUR”, which captivated the archipelago, came to Japan. The best masterpiece that combines the apex video and the apex recording is now available. This work is considered to be the “best masterpiece” that has been reported on all the performances with many masterpieces and masterpieces, and the contents are the best audience shots of “January 26, 2020: Saitama Super Arena performance”. At our store, we have delivered this show in four live albums and videos, but this work synchronizes the best recording with the best video. It is a transcendental piece that has the ultimate video and audio. What kind of images and sounds make up this work? Let’s start from the beginning. [A transcendental audience shot that reached the pinnacle of all performances] First of all, the most important video. This really surprised me. The audience shot released immediately after the show became a huge hit as “SAITAMA SUPER ARENA 2020 DAY 2: THE VIDEO”. What’s most amazing is both the “super-scenic view” and the “experience of a full show at once.” First of all, it is a “super spectacular view”, but the shooting position was just to the right of the flower path (Brian’s side) and quite far ahead. If you pull back hard enough, you can barely see the entire stage, and from there you can see a large amount of close-ups of the members using a zoom that shows off the capabilities of the latest digital equipment. Even on the front stage, Adam and Brian are shown in close-up shots, and when they come out to Hanamichi, their bust-up pops out from the screen. There are almost no shadows from the seats in front of you, and you can freely do everything from watching the images on the giant screen to close-ups of each member’s facial expressions. What’s more, the close-up shot of Adam has an angle that makes it look like a professional shot… And, “experience the full show all at once.” In recent years, it has become commonplace for videos to be circulated immediately after the end of the song, but most of them are for individual songs. I wonder if I can somehow combine them to make it complete… However, this video is different. Filming began before the start of “Innuendo,” which heralds the start of the show, and after “God Save the Queen,” the film was shot all at once, right up to the final scene where the robot in “Dedicated to the World” glares at you. You can fully experience the full show, which lasts 2 hours and 17 minutes, without missing a single moment. There are videos that are comparable to this work for just one song, but there is no other video that can be watched in its entirety with that quality. It has almost been a month since the performance in Japan ended, but it is a solitary transcendental shot that does not even have any close-up images, let alone side-by-side images. [Super clear & direct recording] What upgrades such No. 1 video is No. 1 sound. At our store, we are reporting on the second day of Saitama with three live albums, among which we have synchronized the super best audience recording of the highest peak 2CD “SAITAMA SUPER ARENA 2020 2ND NIGHT”. In fact, the visuals are so great that various manufacturers have begun to create titles for them, but this is the only one that has even upgraded the sound. There is no doubt that the audience has absorbed the lively applause and chanting, but the sense of thickness, clarity, and closeness are comparable to the sound board. Even the sound of the snare, which tends to give off a sense of distance, doesn’t feel like an audience, the heavy bass kicks up your five organs, and the midrange shakes your six senses. And the treble that extends beautifully above that. The vibrato that Adam sings is super clear, not only the lyrics but also the swing width, and Roger’s shout is at the level of breathing. And Brian’s orchestration is not thick, muddy, or cloudy, but full of brilliance and elegance. The key to this lies in the masterful recording technique, but the sound itself was also good on the second day in Saitama. This is generally true, but the sound tends to be better on the second day at the same venue (though not always). No matter how carefully you do a sound check, the sound changes just by adding an audience, but the full show the day before can also serve as a rehearsal. You can perfectly grasp not only the balance but also the difference in the way the music is heard depending on the composition, and further pursue the ideal. In fact, this recording also has a sister work from the first day of Saitama, but in that one, the balance that was biased towards high notes at the beginning was corrected as the show progressed. On the other hand, this work is very stable from beginning to end, probably because of the strengths of the second day, and the sound is gorgeous, and the “sound that QUEEN wants” is firmly completed. [A golden full show revived with the super quality only available in this work] In this work, which has been upgraded with such superb sound, you can feel the super spectacular scenery even more vividly. I will omit the set as I have repeated it before, but you can only understand the true value of QUEEN’s show by watching it with your eyes. A huge QUEEN art floating in the darkness at the beginning of the performance, the red curtain opening and Brian’s silhouette floating in the opening, a huge close-up of the members’ expressions that looks as big as a three-story building, and “In the Lap of the Golden Temple” collapsing. “Gods… Revisited”, “The Show Must Go On” where the golden mansion is rebuilt again, a guitar solo where Brian rides on an asteroid like Itokawa, “We Will Rock You” where a robot glares, “The Crown” and “We Are the Champions,” which features glorious golden statues of lions, angels (and for some reason crabs), and so on. Of course, it’s not just stage sets. Adam’s ability to be an entertainer has become even more refined. He sings a grand melody with action that transforms it into movement, showing off his pantomime-like expressiveness. The costumes he changes rapidly one after another are sometimes as dignified as George Michael, and sometimes as bewitching as Boy George. Furthermore, in “Bicycle Race”, he straddles a motorcycle wearing leather and studs, just like JUDAS PRIEST. Although they are not an instrumental-based band, and they don’t make you wait too long between songs, they change seven times to suit the image of the song. On the other hand, traditional sights have also been scaled up. The middle four songs “Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together),” “Love of My Life,” “’39,” and “Doing All Right” are Brian’s acoustic set, but they also include the familiar Japanese phrase “Konbanwa, Ogenkidesuka!” “Let’s sing together!” also has a sense of nostalgia, and behind it is a vast sea of light from smartphones. Brian looks like he is surrounded by fireflies, and a heart-pounding chorus spreads out in a fantastical mood… Then, 40-year-old Freddie appears on the screen, synchronizing with the guitar as if he were really there, and extending his hand to 72-year-old Brian. I have never seen such a beautiful acoustic set. Digital technology and analog human power. Polished professionalism and the magic of simple music. All of this is depicted in a miraculous scene. Various videos were created because the tour attracted attention all over Japan, but in the end, there was nothing that surpassed or rivaled this work. This is the one and only “masterpiece” that has upgraded such a transcendent video with the highest recording of the day. Even in the Japan performance in 2020… no, it is a piece that will be the pinnacle experience of “THE RHAPSODY TOUR” worldwide.
