Costello's Japan tour ended with great success every day. As if to show how exciting it was, an additional performance in Asakusa was realized. The final day of the tour, which was realized in an unexpected place, was also a typical development for this Japan tour. Above all, the setlist changes that were unpredictable every day were possible only because of the light formation of Costello and Steve Nieve, and it exploded again on this day. From the opening, "Shot With His Own Gun" was included between "Watching The Detectives", and then it returned to "Watching The~". Until then, the songs were played alone, but suddenly this unexpected development. A video that fully captured the final day of the tour, which seemed to guarantee a different setlist from the other days just from this opening, has appeared on YouTube. The shooting position seems to have been at the back of the venue, so the angle was a bit low from start to finish. However, they did their best to close the show at various points, making it an amazing complete live video that you will never get tired of watching. A similar angle in past Costello live footage is the one-camera footage captured by the venue's camera at the 1989 CW Post College, which is familiar to enthusiasts, but this one is not as monotonous or distant as that one, and thanks to modern technology, it is easy to see even from a distant angle, and the image quality is clear. Of course, if you get too close up, Costello's figure will be blazing (lol), which is unavoidable because it is shot from a position that exceeds the limits of the camera's function, but I am grateful that they were able to produce such a clear video overall from this Japan tour. The opening alone was enough to shock us, but this day was a bit of a ``BLOOD & CHOCOLATE'' album night, with ``Battered Old Bird,'' ``Tokyo Storm Warning,'' and ``I Want You.'' In particular, the fresh arrangement of ``Tokyo Storm,'' which is appropriate for singing in this place, with Naive providing backing vocals, was impressive, and the scene where he worked hard on the chorus was also captured clearly. Although it was a live performance where filming was originally allowed, it is truly appreciated that a video of the entire live performance exists like this. In fact, I'm sure there were many people who witnessed the live performance that day from an angle like this. Asakusa Kokaido, Tokyo, Japan 12th April 2024 1. Magnificent Hurt (chelmico Remix) 2.
