Live-Legend I.D.Z Apocalypse [Blu-ray]

One the package came fully wrapped and the items inside were in great condition. Also the package arrived well before the date stated. Ala in all i would buy from them again.

Okay so lets start here:Legend "I" is a very early show. I would say 80% of the vocals are dubbed and the band is obviously fake. (But of you are a Babymetal fan, you already knew this) with an appearance by the Kami band for the last few songs. overall this is a pretty good show and is, in itself, a solid show for an early preformance.Legend "D" is the second show and is again, dubbed and has the skeleton band. Like the last show it is deffinately worth watching but unfortunately, no Kami band this time around.Legend "Z" is by far the best of the shows and again has the Kami band at the end. This show seems to have the least dubbed singing and the most energy out of all 3.Bottom line, if you can afford this rare item, grab it while you can. It is deffinately worth the heafty price.

I mean they rock, literally. As in this is rock music. It's like dusting off something I haven't heard since the 90's and then putting it in gothic-Lolita. It rocks as much as it is hot! How long has it been since anyone who wasn't 90 years old and was covered in tattoos, or body hair rocked out hard core. 30 years? 40 years? Never? In any case if you aren't already immersed in Japanese culture you're probably going to pull your hair out when you here them combine j-pop with stunningly good heavy metal, but, then again, they aren't trying to get someone like you to like them. This is for people who can watch Anime, and then get in the car and turn on Metalica, and not feel like they betrayed America.. For you, this is the best of both worlds. It's metal with a heart, and no one had to hire a Michael Kaman (S&M) to give it a soul.

I am giving this blu-ray five solidified star ratings for several reasons that will assist the real american consumers into finding it as a valuable collection that represents the new age of metal in the history of music. This blu-ray has merged three phenomenal concert film footage into one total package. Suzuka Nakamoto leads the listener vocally into a rhythmic journey that uniquely varies individually in each song, from fuzzy pop to fierce deathmetal riffs and back again. The amplified energy resonating from Moa Kikuchi and Yui Mizuno twists and turns into a battle of neverending fight for audience attention as they perfectly hone their scream/dance choreography into the seamingless sea of spectating fanatics. Blessed are the ones who decide to share this BABYMETAL collection to the friends and family members who have openminded thought processing patterns, for they enlighten the curious.

I liked how they, Babymetal started. They are great for being Japanese. They way that the school that helped them get into the music industry is very fascinating to me. The girls were trained from a young age to sing and that helped them to develop their talent to what it is today. That needs to been here in the US. Train kids to sing and act is a good thing not just let them just wing it by themselves. So overall good movies and I hope that they keep up the great work that they do. I will continue to watch their progress as they go.

These chicks are part of a well orchestrated machine that is so bizarre that its catchy. Like other posters have noted a lot of the stuff is lip synced but dang the marketing behind this is just doing magic. This group really should be shared with your friends if you get this DVD.and introduce them to the newest bizarre musical craze in Japan and on YouTube. The price is fairly steep due to the "apparently" extravagant sums on staging, costuming, music, and promo, just be glad you aren't buying one of the $500.00 DVD sets.

At first, I wasn't sure whether I'd enjoy this Bluray because BABYMETAL was more backing-track Idols than the live band powerhouse that they are today. But it was worth it for the photo book that came with it (which was a pleasant surprise). Plus Legend D and Legend Z concerts had some pretty memorable moments (e.g. YUIMETAL fulfilling her Karen's Girls dream and SU-METAL being quite sassy at the end of Legend Z).

Ok everyone, two words BABY METAL These three teens singing Japanese Pop, metal, and their dancing, and they are gorgeous in a way that is hard to believe. Ok, so, it's Neil young, Beach Boys, then Baby Metal. Sorry Moby, Pink Floyd, Beatles, Dido, etc. When you hear their hit I want choco you'll see why their first DVD sells for $90 today on Amazon. And their 3 DVD/CD combo is going for over $400. Serious. No way am I paying $400+. Especially since I already just paid the $90+.

I'm a Babymetal fan. That said, I care very little if a big part of these early shows didn't had a live band. This is a transition period where you can watch just a few songs that are actually performed live by a real band, but most of the time you have "Babybones" acting as if they were playing in the back. So these 3 shows, I, D and Z are kind of a awesome example on how the things started and what was to come. I wouldn't recommend these for a newbie, but I simply love these shows where Moa and Yui are still 13 and Su is 15. The professionalism shown at such ages is mind-blowing. The energy, the interaction with the audience, the excitement they put on these shows are unique. There is no holding back, they just perform and leave every drop of strength and energy they got. This has probably lead to moments of exhaustion as they confessed in some later interviews, but that's the point right here - These concerts (and I would add Legend 1997 & 1999) are so powerful and energetic that it could only be done by someone at these ages and thats a delight to see. It's a MUST for any Babymetal fan. And it's worth to buy the BluRay version - in fact I've been buying DVDs but now I'm re-buying the whole Babymetal collection in BluRay because it's worth the difference. My fav of these 3 different concerts is probably Legend D (Moa almost crying after such awesome crowd at the end of the show singing "Tsubasa o Kudasai" before Su get's crucified is one hell of a moment) but Legend Z has it's own highlights too - Babymetal performing in white outfits, the rebirth of Babymetal right before "BABYMETAL DEATH" (there was a rumor going on at that time that this Legend Z was going to be the last of Babymetal concerts) and so everyone got the good news... Babymetal continues on.Anyway, I love these concerts. I'd love to have a time machine and go back to 2010 and follow them through Sakura Gakuin and then live all these concerts, be there, be part of it when it happened... but at least there are these BluRays to watch over and over again.

Ce bluray présente 3 concerts enregistré au début de leur carrières au Japon entre octobre 2012 et février 2013.Côté packaging, on est sur du très simple, mais on peut noter la présence d'un booklet avec quelques photos (ce qui est rare, en général il n'y a strictement rien), ainsi qu'une couverture alternative imprimée de l'autre côté (voir photos ci dessous).Les concerts sont sélectionnables depuis le menu. Chacun possède une dizaines de chansons, ce qui est assez court. Globalement ils sont tous assez similaires en terme de contenu, les chansons ne sont pas toutes les mêmes à chaque fois, mais on y retrouve un même socle commun.Et comme d'habitude, pas de bonus...La prestation est plutôt pas mal, on est au début, elles sont encore jeunes, et le côté "JPOP" est très marqué. Cependant, on atteint pas encore le niveau que l'on peut avoir sur les bluray plus récent, que ça soit en terme de jeu de scène que d'effet pyrotechniques totalement absent à cette époque de leur carrière. Ceci dit, le jeu de lumière est plutôt bien fait, et même si la scène n'est pas très grande comparé à celle du Budokan ou Wembley, elles occupent bien l'espace et les dances sont agréables à regarder.Comme la plupart de leur bluray, nous avons droit qu'a une seul piste audio en PCM, c'est toujours dommage pour un format bluray de ne pas pouvoir en profiter pleinement. Autant pour leur autre réalisation ce n'était pas très grave en soit car cette piste PCM était de qualité, autant là je l'ai trouvé assez médiocre. C'est sans doute du au fait qu'elle ne devaient pas avoir les mêmes moyens de production à leur début que par la suite, en tout cas, ca reste assez décevant.Cette série de concert est également celle qui comporte le plus de play-back. Alors oui on le sait, mais c'est toujours dommage, surtout lorsque l'on sait qu'elles arrivent très bien à s'en passer. A noter qu'Il y a quelques chansons qui sont jouées en version "remix", différentes que sur album.Elles sont accompagnées pendant une grande partie de leur show par un groupe déguisé en squelette qui fait semblan de jouer... C'est assez déroutant tant c'est flagrant, voir ridicule. Sur les fins de concert, un vrai groupe (Kami band) joue avec elles et on voit la différence. Alors pourquoi seulement sur quelques chansons ? Mystère...Côté image, c'est plutôt pas mal en terme de netteté, l'image clairement HD est proche de la perfection. Seul ombre au tableau, les couleurs ont tendance à trop saturer parfois.Les 3 concerts ne sont pas de même qualité. Personnellement, je trouve le 1er un peu au dessus, surtout niveau son. Mais il n'y a pas de vrai différence flagrante, ça reste sur le même registre.Bon bluray d'une manière générale. A mon avis il ravira plus les fans qui veulent tout avoir du groupe. Les bluray sorti par la suite sont plus intéressants en terme de contenu, de spectacle et de qualité, d'où seulement mes 3 étoiles. Après il reste quand même intéressant, et c'est drôle de les voir à l'époques où elles n'avaient encore que 14 ans.

Wahrscheinlich ist diese DVD/BluRay nur für fanatische fans, aber man bekommt 3 Konzerte auf einer disc und mit einigen stücken die man auf den alben, inklusive singles, noch nicht gehört hat. Nachteil ist das Babymetal wirklich nur die 3 mädchen sind, und das die ersten konzerte mit einer fake backing band stattgefunden haben. Nur für die zugaben kommt dann die Kami (göttliche) Band zum einsatz. Die sound und bild qualität sind sehr gut und für mich als fan(atiker) ein muss.

this is great!!! I really am happy, they put on a great show, the sound and visuals excellent, if Yr a big fan it is a must for Yr collection

This is fab! A must have for any babymetal fan
