The release of the 9th Story Concert live DVD & BluRay has finally been announced. Once again, it comes in three wonderful editions: Normal, Limited and Deluxe. No, the Deluxe Edition is not 10,000 yen this time. Rather, it’s 10 times that number.
The Regular Edition will contain 1 DVD with footage of the main part of the concert – that is, the 11 songs from 9th Story Nein. The Limited Edition will contain 2 BluRays, one with the main part of the concert and another one with footage of all the encores performed throughout the concert tour. During the 9th Story Concert Tour, two songs from previous albums were performed as an encore after each show, with 7 different songs in total
- Tadoritsuku Uta from Chronicle 2nd
- Rinne no Sunadokei from Thanatos
- Yurikago from Lost
- Stardust from Elysion
- Honoo from Roman
- Hoshi Megami no Miko -Artemisia- from Moira
- Takkei no Seijo from Märchen
The choice of songs is not random. The 7 “parallel world” songs in 9th Story Nein are based off these songs, one from each horizon. The Encore disc of the Limited Edition also contains the 3 songs from the Special Maxi Single “Marvelous Super Dimension”. Most Laurants will already be familiar to two of the songs, Sunawachi… Hikari wo mo Nigasanu Ankoku no Chou Juu Ryoku and Sunawachi… Seikan Chou Tunnel.
This time, the Deluxe Edition will cost 100,000 yen (Yes, that’s 830 US Dollars, or €754) and, in addition to all the above, it will contain:
- A Special Opening Movie in DISC 1 which belongs to the Theater Edition of the concert.
- Written commentary of each song in the form of subtitles (included in DISC 1 and DISC 2)
It will also come with a 3rd disc with alternative footage from the main part of the concert, including:
- All the different variations of the phone conversation between Noel and Ichizo at the beginning of Seiyou Kottou Yaneura dou, which changed on every show.
- All alternative endings of each song.
- Special endings of each song, which were only shown on the last day of the Concert Tour in Tokyo.
However, what makes this Deluxe Edition even more special is the wooden chest of drawers that comes with it. Yes, Sound Horizon does furniture now. Each piece will be numbered and will measure 40 cm x 40 cm x 40 cm. In it, you will be able to store the Deluxe Editions of Sound Horizon’s Anniversary CDs and DVDs: The Assorted Horizons, Vanishing Starlight, 9th Story Nein and 9th Story Concert Nein.
This ridiculously overpriced edition will also come with an invitation to an exclusive screening event, signed by Revo himself.
The Regular and Limited Edition of the Nein DVD/BluRay will be available for preorder soon on all major online stores.
Revo: “I’ve decided to extend the Anniversary Year”
Through a statement posted on the Sound Horizon Official Website, Revo has announced that he will be extending the “Anniversary Year” (the 12 months between the 10th Anniversary and the 11th Anniversary of Sound Horizon’s Major Debut) and it will go on through 2016. The reason, he says, is that many of the projects and releases that were planned to be released during the year haven’t come out yet (including the live DVD and BluRay of 9th Story Concert Nein). However, he hasn’t given a specific date in which the Anniversary Year will be officially over.
Some of these projects are the remakes of Elysion, Märchen and Moira into comic series. While Elyision and the two parallel series of Märchen are being published periodically in Japanese comic magazines, the comic version of Moira by Yukimaru Katsura (the same manga artist who created the comic version of Roman) has just been announced and will come out during the next months.
