The final day of the "MUSIC IN PROGRESS JAPAN TOUR" in 1993, the second visit to Japan, was the Osaka Festival Hall performance on August 28th, and the title is a complete recording of 117 minutes of stereo soundboard sound source from the DAT master leaked by the related parties, on 2 CDs. First of all, the sound source of this day is a soundboard source directly connected to the desk, and while it has been distributed in the past, this is the first time that it has been made into a CD directly from the leaked DAT that was the original, and the difference in quality is on a different level. Moreover, it has the longest recording time, and each instrument part is completely separated, and the sound flying between the left and right with a full stereo feeling is a different dimension of realism that is even more than the official one. And like their first visit to Japan the previous year, all the songs from "IMAGES AND WORDS" are the main focus, but since this is a short return visit, the rest of the album has been changed considerably, and "Afterlife" and "A Fortune In Lies" were chosen for the "WHEN DREAM AND DAY UNITE" songs, and "Eve" and "To Live Forever", the B-side of the single "LIE", were also performed early on. The arrangements are also a little ingenious, with the theme song from the TV drama "Mission: Impossible" played at the end of "Metropolis - Part I", and "Puppies On Acid", which later became "The Mirror", inserted into the intro of "Take The Time". While there was also an official video of this return visit to Japan, "LIVE IN TOKYO", which recorded the previous live performance in Shibuya, this is a must-have limited edition memorial item for fans, as it is a complete recording of the pure full live performance without any cuts or replacements.
