2020 The superb in-ear monitor
(IEMs) album that recorded the performances in Japan that
excited the archipelago of Osaka is the first appearance of a
miracle. Of course, it is decided to permanently store it with
Press 2CD!
The performance of “January 28, 2020:
Kyocera Dome Osaka” is included in this work. The IEMs
recording. Speaking of IEMs coming to Japan in 2020, our
original “CLOSED SOUNDCHECK: SAITAMA SUPER ARENA 2020 DAY 1
(Wardour-400)” became a hot topic, but this work is (naturally)
a completely different performance. It’s a super-luxury item
that has just been published online the other day and has become
a hot topic. First of all, let’s review the schedule for coming
to Japan, including the circumstances around it.
・January 25: Saitama Super Arena
←*CLOSED SOUNDCHECK
・January 26: Saitama Super Arena
・January 28: Kyocera Dome Osaka
←★Coco★
・January 30: Nagoya Dome
Above, all 4 performances. Our
“CLOSED SOUNDCHECK” is a rehearsal album before the start of
Tokyo performance on the first day. On the other hand, this work
is a complete recording of the full show of the Osaka
performance. It’s shocking to call full-show IEMs, but the real
value of this work is far from that. The core enthusiast who
worked on this work dared to intercept 10 types of IEMs. It has
been finely re-edited and finished into a perfect and superb
sound board album.
Even if you say “10 types of IEMs”,
there may be some who do not come with a pin, so here is a
general discussion. In the first place, IEMs recording is the
sound that members and staff are listening with earphones, and
it was recorded by intercepting radio waves that are wirelessly
transmitted. The quality is excellent because it is a sound
board sound, but the point is not the output sound of the venue,
but the sound for work. The sounds required for each member /
staff, such as the start of a performance, the progress of a
show, and the voice of a staff member, are different, and each
member / staff member is given a special mix and is sent to each
person’s earphones. In other words, various kinds of radio waves
are scattered around the venue. Generally speaking, “IEMs
recording” is one of them. If there is a problem with the
balance or reception, it is a common practice to use it as a
matrix with audience recording.
However, there are 10 types of this
work only for IEMs. I connect the best parts of each (although
the details have not been revealed) and, if necessary, IEMs also
form a matrix. The finish is amazing. It is clearly IEMs, such
as hearing the piano playing at “Innuendo” that announces the
start, but it is glossy and beautiful without the common
reception noise, and the balance is natural. There is no cheers
and it is extremely raw, so it is not like an official live
album, but the quality itself is comparable to the official
work. In addition, it seems that the conversational voice of the
staff has been carefully erased …. As mentioned above, it is not
uncommon for IEMs to hear staff instructions, but this work
connects parts without instructions neatly. Although there is a
little conversation in the introduction of the members and the
part where the “Dragon Attack” follows, but other than that, you
can enjoy it as if it were an official live album (although the
behind-the-scenes feeling of the staff voice is also
interesting).
Anyway, the Osaka full show drawn with
such an official-class sound is irreplaceable. Speaking of
officially, we are about to release the work “LIVE AROUND THE
WORLD” following “LIVE IN JAPAN” for the first time in
Japan. This is a good opportunity, so let’s organize it again
while comparing here.

*Note: “★” indicates ” A song that
cannot be heard in “Live Around The World”. Furthermore, the
“★★” mark is a song that cannot be heard even in the official
video “LIVE IN JAPAN” that came to Japan for the first time.
…And this is how it looks. “LIVE
AROUND THE WORLD” has a significantly different set only for the
edited version that was assembled from the show for 6 years from
2014, and there is a heap of delicious repertoire that can not
be heard even with “LIVE IN JAPAN”. All of that can be enjoyed
with the finest sound board.
QUEEN has regained its prime as it was
in the 1980s with the big hit of the movie “Bohemian
Rhapsody”. And, looking back from now on, it was also a miracle
visit to Japan that was realized to slip in just before being
struck by the new corona vortex. IEMs album where you can enjoy
the full show with super quality… No, it is a sound board
album. Experience the amazing quality that makes full use of 10
types of IEMs, and experience it with the permanent preservation
press 2CD.
★ You can enjoy it with the best sound
that is comparable to the official live version.
