- 02. – 日本武道館
- Last indies live show.
- In an interview, Kyo calls it the number 1 on Dir En Grey's black history list and a painful memory. The band originally wanted to release footage from this concert, but decided against it when they saw how bad they performed. Apparently, parts of the recording leaked and can be watched here.
