Information
editLead 15th Anniversary Live Box is a DVD/Blu-ray two disc collection released by the Japanese hip-hop group Lead on December 20, 2017.[1] It reached No. 59 on the Oricon DVD chart and No. 61 on the Oricon Blu-ray chart, where it remained on each for one week.[2][3]
The live box featured two separate performances spanning across two DVD/Blu-rays to celebrate the group's fifteenth anniversary in the music industry, having debuted on July 31, 2002, with the song "Manatsu no Magic".[4] The first DVD/Blu-ray featured the live performed to celebrate their anniversary, Lead 15th Anniversary Live ~Kan Ima Shirube-sai~ (感今導祭 / Guiding Emotions), which the group held on July 29 and July 30th at the Maihama Amphitheater. The second disc held their fifteenth live tour Lead Upturn 2017 ~This is Our Day~ - the performance which was performed at Cosmos Theater (Kaizuka City Civic Cultural Hall) in Kaizuka, Osaka on September 10.[5][6] Bonuses on both discs featured behind-the-scenes footage of both concerts and the collection of MCs.
For Lead 15th Anniversary Live ~Kan Ima Shirube-sai~, the group performed every a-side they had released since their debut in 2002, up until their then-most recent song "Beautiful Day", which had been released on August 23, 2017.[7] The live was well-received, with people praising the group's stage presence and charisma, even with performing so many songs for one performance, many of which were dance tracks.[8][9]
Lead Upturn 2017 ~This is Our Day~ was the group's fifteenth live tour. For the performance, most of the music utilized were songs from their seventh studio album The Showcase, which had been released the year prior in June 2016.[10] They also performed the song "Shampoo Bubble", the coupling track to their single Beautiful Day, which had been released two weeks prior to the tour performance.[11] The tour's set design received a positive response from fans, along with the chosen songs and overall enthusiasm of Keita, Shinya and Akira.[12][13]
