A masterpiece video of the live in Japan performance with the masterpiece "FACING THE ANIMAL" has been decided to be released. This work contains the performance of "April 10, 1998: NHK Hall". In addition to Yngwie's popularity at the height of this tour, the participation of Cozy Powell was also announced, and it became a hot topic. A huge tour of Japan was arranged, second only to the "MUGNUM OPUS TOUR" which was the largest in history (in the end, Cozy, who left due to a motorcycle accident, never came to Japan). Of the total 14 performances, the NHK performance of this work was the first half. Let's take a look at that part.・April 5: Shibuya Public Hall ・April 6: Akasaka BLITZ ・April 7: Akasaka BLITZ ・April 9: Kanagawa Prefectural Hall ・April 10: NHK Hall [This work] ・April 12: Kawaguchi Cultural Center 《April 13-24: 8 local performances》 This is a summary of only the Kanto performances, which were the first half of the 14 performances. Four performances were scheduled in Tokyo alone, and after this, the schedule was to traverse the archipelago from Sapporo in the north to Fukuoka in the south. This work is the last day in Tokyo (by the way, on April 5, when the first day's Shibuya performance was held, Cozy had an accident while riding a Saab 9000 and was a deceased person). This work is a very wonderful audience shot. It was shot from the left side of the stage, but perhaps because the handrail at the front of the second floor stand was used as a tripod, there was a shadow at the bottom of the screen, but instead there was no shadow of the front row and no obstruction, and only the stage was directly visible. Although the first song "Braveheart" may solidify the position, it may go out of frame, but once it is solidified, you can enjoy it with plenty of stability without camera shake even with bold zoom. And the powerful zoom is wonderful. It approaches Yngwie's waist up, but it is beautiful with a sense of stability and vivid master freshness. Of course, since it is an analog shoot, the digital image quality is not good, but when you get closer, you can see clearly from the string 1 of the acoustic guitar to the swaying long hair. Unfortunately, it became a gift because three songs + keyboard solo were cut before the encore, but the image beauty and shooting technique are more than enough. It is drawn with such quality as Yngwie's show, which was enjoying the spring of my world. Since planning activities such as the cover album "INSPIRATION" and the orchestra co-starring "CONCERTO SUITE FOR ELECTRIC GUITAR AND ORCHESTRA" have continued, the regular style after a long time is really fresh. Moreover, the album features new singer Mats Levin and a long-awaited masterpiece, "FACING THE ANIMAL." You can enjoy Yngwie's "heroic" more than ever. Mats is also truly wonderful. His husky and slightly dirty voice produces a toughness that has not been seen since Jeff Scott Soto, and his singing ability is outstanding. He sings not only the new songs from "FACING THE ANIMAL," but also the masterpieces sung by past singers, sometimes bluesy and sometimes magnificent, and there is no problem with high notes. Even the pop song "Heaven Tonight" is finished as a tough and wild rock number (somewhat like GOTTHARD in the Steve Lee era). Although it was a unique type in Yngwie's history, it shows off a unique brilliance. I regret missing three songs. The basic quality of this work is so great that it is a masterpiece shot that is too good to ignore. Yngwie in 1998, who experienced Roots and Concert, and opened up a brave new world with a singer from his hometown Sweden. This is a CD that allows you to experience that live in Japan.
