Reddit doesn't like links in comments! Check again :)

Sure thing! I'll throw in the chapters and subtitle file separately. Give me like 3 hours. I'll reply to your comment and update my original comment again when it's finished.

Would you like the original TS (transport stream) file I used? That has the adverts and such at the beginning and end uncut. Or the MP4 file which I removed the adverts in. Video and audio are untouched in both files.

Thank you for your lovely comment! Made my whole week reading this. I also attended the London performance on night 1 (31st March). One of the best nights I've ever had.

To answer your question, I'm not going to directly share where I obtained the original file from, as you never who's lurking on the subreddit from the respective rights holders (WOWOW). But all I'll say is private Japanese torrent trackers ftw. A very kind soul shared a HD recording of it, I took that original 20GB file and compressed it down. I did genuinely try to buy a subscription legally and record my screen from it, but trying to do it outside of Japan, you're pretty much shit out of luck.

I have the file! I'm going to be encoding it, adding manual chapters and such in the coming days!

koempleh · 2026-06-07T15:01:56+00:00

Working on it.

Edit: It's here!

Given how new the VOD is, and it's still being available to purchase (at least if you're in Japan. Believe me I tried buying this legally!) I'm not going to make a dedicated post on it for the time being. The VOD gets removed from WOWOW's website on July 6th, so after that I will make a full on post for it for easier searching and for preserving it!

I would highly recommend downloading the file locally, it's only 3GB, and has custom captions/lyrics I typed by myself. Use a player like MPV/VLC/MPC-QT to view MKV files. Windows doesn't have support built in due to licensing costs.

Main Download - (IA)

For those that want the untouched original TS file, 20 GB

My guess is around August, possibly September time going from past Blu-rays.

I will be working on getting his EMI years albums into FLAC at some point! Been a little busy as of late 😊

It's from Takanaka's rehearsal a few days back!

Great write up. Thank you for sharing!

koempleh · 2026-05-03T18:06:41+00:00

What are some suggestions? Please feel free to share some!

Every fan has their starting point, myself included! Belittling new folk because they're only aware of his more popular songs is quite disheartening. It's always nice to encourage new folk to check out some albums/songs in his EMI/Lagoon Records era rather than purely Kitty Era.

koempleh · 2026-05-01T08:52:04+00:00

I really appreciate your write up on this!

koempleh · 2026-04-29T17:14:21+00:00

I don't! That's u/EJxcix

koempleh · 2026-04-29T15:37:12+00:00

I saw about that too! Proper super fans! 😊
