Also note there is some odd video/audio cutting in the DVD, sounds start and
end abruptly sometimes. A good example would be track 3.
Catalogue number HHR-46, released in Japan and will later be released
worldwide (except Japan) in early 2008. The DVD is region free for those of
you worried about or thinking about ordering it.
"What is the underlying souce of power of MONO? What makes their sound so
powerful as if it reaches the bottom of our heart, grab it and shake it
brutally?
What makes their music go beyond the borders and create the same exceptional
craziness among people of different color of skin, different race, different
language?
You might find an answer in this DVD.
It captured their documentary of European tour in the winter of 2006, the
tours in Japan, Korea, US and Canada in 2007.
The DVD is the first video MONO has ever created and yet it could be the
ultimate complete work of their history.
This DVD was filmed and edited by Teppei. He is well known figure as
"photographer specialized in live music" in Japan. This is his first video
he has ever created.
He made five roundtrips among the continents and spent more than sixty days
to film the band. And at the end, he had over a hundred tapes to work on
editing.
Teppei's original vision and skill to capture a moment, that has been
nurtured as still photographer for many years, is vividly reflected in the
moving images in this DVD.
He succeeded to seize the beauty, intensity, liveness of MONO's live
performance.
Only a person who gained band's trust this much could have done.
As Teppei traveled with MONO on the road for many days, he filmed the
audience of many countries and showed us the band's off-stage life on the
road including the reunion with the band's close friends.
This is a feature film of raw passion, that goes beyond the borders and
creates one exceptional craziness among people of different color of skin,
different race and different language
Filmed, Directed and Edited by Teppei Kishida
