I paid $15 (or was it 10?) to watch it live on nicodouga and that's enough for me

Yes it is $75. But this is not some TV series, but a concert event. So, we are probably lucky to get it anyway.

Surprisingly, I think I will get it. It is not easy to see a Miku concert. I got to see one at NekoCon12, but I can imagine the LA based one probably had better production values. At least I hope, since I am going to be spending $75.

As much as I'd love to own this, that's a lot of money for a concert with no subs, besides most of it is already on Youtube.

Actually, there are subs in the majority of the tracks. It's only tracks 8-11 that are subless.

Still, you're right: That IS an awful lot of money for a single concert bluray. Especially considering that the performer is nothing more than a hologram singing to pre-recorded audio. Rolling Eyes

A) Not a hologram. It's a projection.
B) Pre-recorded audio? I wonder what the band on stage is doing then. Twiddling their thumbs?

This release also includes the concert on CD as well.

Also, color me surprised that it was pre-recorded. Looked like a live band to me when I was there in 2011.

Didn't realize there actually was a live band. My mistake. Embarassed

Still, even if the CD is included, that's a lot for a concert performance on disc. Considering you can buy a three-pack of some of the greatest Rolling Stones live performances ever for about half of that.

But whatever.

No.... It's because it says it right on the front of the RightStuf listing:

Adding to this, these songs (as well as the first song) have no lyrics in the JP CD/DVD/BD booklets (same content, different paper sizes), so there was little chance of the NA release getting them.

Save your money by buying the Rolling Stones release, then.

Apparently, a lot of people did: Laughing

"Rolling Stones Ticket Prices Hit $650, But Sell Out in 7 Minutes"

"Jagger responds to Stones ticket price controversy"

And people complain about that!
(When J-bands start charging that much, then...........)
