In 1995, the band came to Japan twice, in January and October, and this was a hot topic. The band's live performance at the Tokyo Koseinenkin Hall on January 23rd was recorded on 2CDs, 114 minutes in total, using stereo soundboard recordings from a DAT master leaked by a person involved. First of all, the recordings from this day were from a soundboard source directly connected to the desk, and while they have been distributed in the past, this is the first time they have been made into a CD directly from the leaked DAT, and the difference in quality is in a different league. Moreover, the recording time is the longest, and the sound of each instrument part is completely separated, with a stereo feel that flies back and forth from left to right, making it even more realistic than the official version. First of all, the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake occurred during this period, and the Osaka performance was canceled due to this, but the subsequent dates were continued, and the Saitama performance was aired on TV, and although there is also an official bootleg "TOKYO, JAPAN 10/28/95", this is a complete recording of a pure full live performance without any cuts or replacements, and it is a delight for fans to hear it in this quality. And as expected, the songs from "AWAKE" are the main focus, with 8 out of the 11 songs performed, and about half of the songs from "IMAGES AND WORDS" are involved. In addition, Derek Sherinian, who joined in place of Kevin Moore, made his first appearance in Japan, and the rare Floyd "In The Flesh" is also included in its entirety, making this a must-have limited edition collector's edition for fans who know that time.
