This is a painstaking performance restored by Alex Mundy after overcoming unexpected recording problems. The Millennium King Crimson, who resumed activities in 2014, held a Japan tour in December 2015, their second year of activity, and all 10 concerts are being released in three parts. Following the first release in December, the second release is Part 2 of the Tokyo performances, December 10th, 16th, and 17th at Shibuya Orchard Hall. This work contains the 4th concert, December 10th performance. Of all 10 concerts of the 2015 Japan tour, only this day experienced recording problems. Jacco's lead vocal track data was missing. Since all other data remained intact, Alex Mundy, who handled the 2025 mix, selected Jacco's vocal parts from the 2015 tour recordings to match the performance that day, patched them together, and used the master data provided with the band's approval. This performance, the fourth in a row from the first day, was structured like the final Tokyo show on the 17th, after returning to Tokyo following the Osaka performance, with the first half featuring an aggressive hardcore King Crimson sound. Not only did it offer new interpretations of classic songs, but it also demonstrated the band's determination to tackle unfinished business from the double-trio era, making it a brilliant performance that established the raison d'?tre of the Millennium King Crimson. World premiere on CD. A special edition prepared by the band exclusively for Japanese fans. 2-disc SHM-CD set, E-style paper jacket. The master tape used was a mix of digitally recorded data from that day, mixed by Alex Mundy. This product is for sale in Japan only and is prohibited from export.
