Absolutely riveting live footage from several different gigs in Kuroyumes last ever tour, interspersed with interviews with Kiyo and Hitoki and others. Apparently mostly about the reasons for Kuroyumes break up, which it seems had already taken place before the tour even started. Kiyoharu is looking painfully thin and sad, but his performances are just as spectacular and full of energy as ever. He is a truly magnificent mad man, a modern shaman if I ever saw one. There is an emotional edge to it all too, and you get the feeling that Kiyo is really pushing himself far too hard. The whole band just seems to keep on playing till they can hardly stand up.
The final song and also the last song Kuroyume ever performed is Like@Angel and Kiyo weeps through the entire song. Of course the audience is also crying and screaming too. It's all quite amazing I have to say. Whoever edited this DVD together must have known my favourite songs because they are all here. If you are going to buy just one Kuroyume DVD this would have to be it.

A gig in quite a small and very crowded venue. It must have been unbearably hot in there, but everyone looks like they are having a great time including the band.
The roof is so low that when Kiyo stands on the fold back bins he has to duck his head under an airconditioning duct to see the crowd. Kuroyume are an intense band even in a large venue, but here they are overwhelming. Kiyo is shirtless and feral looking for the entire gig.
Highlights: Kamakiri and the amazing Like@Angel finale, which is where these caps are from.
