"February 14, 1992: Osaka International Exchange Center" was the first time Japan encountered the new music "grunge." It was the first day of NIRVANA's only performance in Japan, and a master DAT was discovered that was present at such a unique historical site and breathed the atmosphere directly. This work is the latest installment of Kinney's original master series. This is an audience album that completely records NIRVANA's first Japanese stage. First, let's look back at the overview of the Japan tour. ・February 14: Osaka International Exchange Center [This work] ・February 16: Nagoya Club Quattro ・February 17: Club Citta Kawasaki ・February 19: Nakano Sunplaza "TOKYO 1992" In this way, NIRVANA The only Japan tour will be a total of 4 performances. The other day, the soundboard album “TOKYO 1992” from the Japan performance was very well received, but while that was the final performance, this work is the Osaka performance which became the genuine “first Japan”. Recordings of such monumental concerts have been known for a long time, and various recordings have been made, such as "BEEN A SOON (9 20214-2)" and "MEMORIAL LIVE IN JAPAN 1992 (TTKKS 001: credited as Kawasaki, but in Osaka)". It is a famous recording that has created a record. Of course, this work is not a copy of such a previous release, but a direct CD version of the original Kinney master DAT. This is a live album that captures the sounds and vibes that were captured at the scene without missing a single note. In fact, this work is a full-length version that is longer than any previous release. Until now, all the songs performed have been made public, but in addition, there are "on-site sounds" that have never been heard before, such as the opening and closing scenes, the MC after "Blew", and the excitement of waiting for the encore after "Love Buzz". It lasted about 5 minutes, and everything about that day came back to me completely. This creates an indescribably wonderful “sense of the scene” and “sense of the times.” At the time, scenes unrelated to the performance were probably cut to make it easier to listen to, but this live was not only “NIRVANA’s only visit to Japan” but also “Japan’s first grunge concert”. At that time, it had only been a month since the news that ``NEVERMIND'' was No. 1 in the United States. It was a scene where listeners with a keen ear gathered to find out for themselves, asking questions such as ``What is grunge?'' and ``What the heck is going on in America!?'' For that reason, the cheers are full of anticipation and tension that ``music you've never seen before'' is about to begin, and it's real because it's uncut. Although it is a sense of the times that was glimpsed in “TOKYO 1992” that was released the other day, this work of audience recording is even more special. And the sound is wonderful because it is an original DAT. Since it is different from digitizing from an analog cassette, it is not a “remarkable transformation” compared to the previous releases, but it is sharp. What sounds different than anything else is the vocals, which sounded recessed in the previous release. Not only does it come out far forward, the overall balance is good, but it also sounds more direct. This also conveys Kurt Cobain's breathing. After all, this day was Kurt's first time in Asia since he was 24 years old at the time. Although they had performed live in the United States, Europe, and Oceania, this was the first time in their lives that they performed in front of waves of black hair. For that reason, it sounds like a slightly nervous singing voice rather than a wild one at its peak, but this is the historical truth. Originally, I probably should have talked about the set list, which had two more songs, “Something In The Way” and “Lounge Act,” than “TOKYO 1992.” In fact, all songs from "NEVERMIND" other than "In Bloom," "Stay Away," and "Endless, Nameless" are performed, and it is also possible to listen to them as a "live version of NEVERMIND." But still. What's even more amazing is the suffocating sense of the times, and the breath of first encounter that could only be found on the set. The first stage in Japan, which lasts only one day in history. This is one of the best albums of all time, reprinted from Kinney's original DAT, with 100% original sound that brings together a music genre and Japan. A documentary album that shines brightly in the history of Japanese Western music. Please inhale the scent of a historic night to your heart's content.
