this live looks absolutely gorgeous, omg!! and I'm so excited for the Stamp acoustic. I doubt that they will upload the footage sometime in the future but I will still hope for it hehe

Thank you for the translations and photos as always. Seeing them so happy and cheerful really made me happier.

So good to see that they were able to stick to their Xmas tradition.

I couldn't participate, of course, so I stuck on Best Live 2009 and enjoyed that 11 years to the day (and approximate time).

Pictures (and videos) were allowed for one song only. Since it was quite dark, phone pics are really blurry.

The acoustic Stamp was completely unexpected and very fun!

Woah, looking at the pictures, it looks very beautiful! Their outfit too, all whites, looks so elegant
And Rina on cajoon!! Yay for acoustic performance XD

Thank you for sharing ! .clap.
Now I'm torn whether to buy the livestream tickets or not D:

I wonder if they will release the video for a regular purchase later? With a livestream, you only get to watch it for a couple weeks I think..

I already bought a ticket, a bit too expensive.

if it has to be released officially later, i think it'd be as a bonus DVD (or Blu-Ray too, who knows) of a single, and likely incomplete therefore. i don't think it'd be a bonus DVD of the next album, since we're still far from it (no new songs, a new tour barely announced). if the next album has a gig as a bonus DVD edition, it'll be a more recent gig with some new songs that would be released as singles before the album's release

I have a couple of questions.
Since this will be a recording, so there will be without premiere with the general chat, as it was on the last Livestream? This is important because the start time is 12 JST, I will have 6 am in my country.
I will sleep and watch later if there are no premiere.
Can you watch as many times as you like between 12/29/20 - 01/11/21?

I really hope they will release a Blu-Ray. To be honest, the KFTD livestream quality for the overseas fans was kinda meh. Knowing that the streaming platform remains the same, I would rather wait for a blu-ray...

Unlike the KFTD livestream which was actually a concert being streamed live, this is technically not a "live stream"--it will be recorded footage of a concert that's already been held.

So, since they don't have to deal with the logistics of trying to stream it live and just have to play back the footage, it'll hopefully be the same quality as the Japan one.

You almost sold it to me xD

I just watched the show and it was amazing!

Never thought I needed the acoustic version of Stamp!

Hope 2021 is the year when we finally have an acoustic album 

The show was very nice, the visuals, the stage, everything. Would love to have a DVD of this (mostly because I need stamp acoustic version for the rest of my life!)

Some of the songs that I’ve never seen them performing before were great, short short and Uchiage hanabi, so charming.

The audience was pretty quiet, not sure if they were asked to.

in the case a concert happens, fans are usually told not to move, not to headbang nor to scream :/, so yeah i guess they were asked not to be too excited lol (in the context of COVID-19 of course, i meant)

Cheers for head up, that my order in.


I will 2nd that, it would great if they bring out are acoustic album. .wow.

Due to COVID, the audiences at any live concert in Japan are currently not allowed to shout, sing, talk--anything that involves opening your mouth. You can only clap.

This of course only applies to the current pandemic situation. You can usually sing/scream/move around at concerts in Japan lol

Just finished it and loved it, It was the perfect late Christmas present.

I thought Stamp was excellent and always love to see Tomomi and Mami dancing and enjoying themselves during Take me Out, brings a smile to my face.

Really want it to be released on DVD/Blu-ray now @victor_survive an acoustic album would be essential, or they could do an acoustic show maybe a one off.

The small stage, stick a few props up like the tall lamp from the KFTD stream, a small audience and it would be just be like an old MTV Unplugged.

Wow, that's a good band. (You probably knew that)
Stamp was terrific, as was the relaxed chatting. The cozy feeling they created was perfect for the holiday season. I think Scandal should at least consider a tour of "Date Night" shows like this, with seats and a low key atmosphere. It would really appeal to their fans who've settled down and don't really get into crowds anymore. They could still do a regular tour of course. Or maybe there's some way to do a mini acoustic set before a show, to replace the meet and greet.

Watched the SEASONS concert last night, the performances and stage collab were a kool treat. Especially happy they chose to do "short short!" ... but aside from the performance I was kinda shocked how close together the audience sat. I know they were careful about everything, but I'd expected there to be like two empty seats on either side of each person .... Japan's COVID count is still very low by our standards but Tokyo saw an alarming jump in positives this week. So I worry about the planned Mania tour and 15th anniversary concert. It would be a harsh test if they were forced to cancel again. At this point I understand Japan isn't scheduled to start with vaccinations until February or March. There is already talk about dropping the Olympics again. Sigh...

I noticed that also and maybe it's just me I felt a bit concerned ( might not be the right word ) but when the band walked from the front stage to the back I was thinking keep your arms in girls, don't let anyone touch you. Although I guess Japanese audiences are more reserved than western audiences. There were couple of guys with them so I'm guessing security.

Probably a bit over protective of me I know but you can't be too careful.

Any how back to the performance I've just been having another watch and I thought Haruna did an excellent job when she started the chat she was quite clearly overwhelmed but held it together really well. I'm just happy there were no Timo tears, none that I noticed anyway.

Well, I had the idea of sending a tweet to the band to ask for an update about their COVID-19 status (but don't know if I should do it, wouldn't want to be annoying), so I guess you're not the only one feeling over protective haha

I watched it. Cool video effects and the sound was great. It's such a calm concert that's very different from the KFTD. I agree, with the posts above, they can create more acoustic songs or a whole concert in future. Even in these hard times they were able to do something new. The best as always!

Hello! I'm thinking about bying the livestream-ticket, but i also think, that it's quite expensive (but not too much like the mucc livestream a few days ago xD) and can't decide yet.

Are there translations for the oversea stream when they are talking? in the KFTD-Livestream, they talked (for my opinion) much, but i understand, that there couldn't be a translation due the live setup. Would be great, if there is a translation available in english

Just watched the concert. Loved it. They really do stir the heart. Glad I've kept the Paris concert tickets, can't wait. Roll on 2021.

Unfortunately, there is no translation during stream. But MC translation probably will appear here in a while, I hope
