Has anyone here seen it? Thoughts?

I really loved it, I had pretty high expectations because I am a huge fan of his, and have wanted to see something like this from him for a long time. But he really blew away all my expectations, it was amazing! I'm very jealous of anyone that got to be there for the performance :D I especially loved his performance of Enola Gay, Sweet, and 1000knives but they were all great! Especially when he was dancing and the entire band, (himself included) started playing with percussion instruments lol. The extra stuff was fun too! He had a great group of artists performing with him, and it was good to see some of those familiar faces on stage with him for that show :D Very fun indeed! This will be at the top of my favorite DVD list for a lonnnng time!

I love it too, specially the end with synchronicity is awesome :)

I watched it for the first time last week like I mentioned somewhere on the board and it just blew my mind. I had seen clips on youtube and it looked very promising. I felt such a high, I felt the need to draw a lot.

I'm especially so happy that they filmed a lot of his playing instead of his face. Yes, Sugizo's face is nice, but I'm also interested in his technique, as are many musicians I am sure.
The rest of the band and performers were excellent and had a huge energy. The ambiance was so dense, very intimate. It's hard to explain if you haven't watched it. It's almost trance like.

It was different, in a good way. I know he puts a lot of emphasis on experience and often mentions how he wants to create an incredible synergy between him and the fans through his music. If he can achieve that through DVD I can't even start imagining how it would feel to be there (I did read somewhere that he said that he spent countless amount of time editing the performance to only keep the pure, significant parts... unlike Yoshiki who loves to keep 40 minutes of footage of people sitting).

definitely a great show. it's actually a concert that i'd recommend to someone who wasn't likely to be a jrock fan, as opposed to the typical fan of the genre.

Gah, you guys are making me really wanna buy the DVD.  I'm not really a fan of Luna Sea (please don't kill me) but I've always loved seeing Sugizo perform. Plus I've really enjoyed the few clips I've seen of Rise to Cosmic Dance.

Honestly, I have never seen subs for it. Which kinda leaves me completely lost during the bonus feature xD
