T.M R LIVE REVOLUTION 06' UNDER:COVER ARENA STYLE Ver.
LIVE REPORT AT NIPPON BUDOKAN IN TOKYO ON 18 AUGEST 2006

It is Budokan Live for which it waited for all the time todya
Budokan is a special place for a Japanese musician. A new face musician(It is in a particular rock band musician) aims for doing Live in Budokan after its debut. Budokan is hall with tradition and formality very much. And it produced legendary Live of various artists.
T.M.Revolution has alreday succeeded in Budokan Live 8 years ago. Takanori stands in a stage of Budokan before a debut of T.M.Revolution.
It participated as a vocalist of "Black or White?" not independent Live of Takanori. Takanori sang only one song of "Black or White?" (Takanori was not T.M.Revolution at that time,and "Black or White?" was not song of T.M.Revolution.... Takanori can not excite a audience and seems to have felt very regrettable then.
Takanori made it's debut as T.M.Revolution with having had the regret all the time,Takanori stood in a stage of Budokan 8 years ago. And Takanori was regrettable and was able to achieve revenge.Live of T.M.Revolution before eight years is called legendary Live between fan. It was really splendid Live.
Takanori sang again "Black or White?" while in audience standing ovation...Takanori cried because of too much emotion on a stage and was not able to sing.
Fan sang "Black or White?" in substitution for Takanori which continued crying intensely.This is a legend of Budokan Live before eight years.

Because this Budokan and Osaka-Jo Hall were "UNDER:COVER TOUR ARENA-style"I thought that we might hear the song that we were not able to hear in Hall tour.The first song was the same as Hall tour in "HIGH PRESSURE".It was four "LEVEL 4". It is the song that it did not sing in Hall tour.
Afterwards,Takanori sang emotionally.
"albireo", "Venus" ,"WILD RUSH","HEAT CAPACITY" was in SET LIST newly, too.Rreally ARENA version is wonderfulA lot of hit singles of ten years entered.The medley of "Venus ","WILD RUSH","HOT LIMIT "danced together.A dancer of a woman appeared in a stage and danced around Takanori gorgeously.

「Welcom to our Budokan」Takanori cried.「For these ten years, I reduced life and have it all hanging out.Here is the all. Now I want to ask you guys it again.The meaning that I continue standing here!!」Takanori said and continued singing.....
「When I stood in this place eight years ago, I have begun to feel that Live was important for oneself.I wanted to do the tenth anniversary live at this place.」Takanori said.

And at the encore...「As for me, the thing which I did not see eight years ago feels like I seeing it now. My feeling does not change with 8 years ago.」Takanori said and sang "Black or White?"Takanori sang till the last. I was impressed very much.

And the encore sang "Out of Orbit" and "SHAK'IN LOVE" which Takanori did not sing in hall tour.When "SHAK'IN LOVE" began, fan was really surprised.
This song never sang recently.This song was the song that everybody wanted to hear.
「I was going to present everyone this song because everyone wanted to hear SHAK 'IN LOVE by the questionnaire.」Takanori said...
And Takanori sang "LIGH MY FIRE" in the last.A lot of white balloons fell in song of "LIGHT MY FIRE" from a ceiling.The white balloon which fluttered down a lot in a hall was beautiful like a dream.It was really best Set List.It was the stage which was good for a T.M.Revolution 10th anniversary.
