^I wouldn't go that far. From wut I see, her voice is improved from her last years of performances, but you can definately hear a strain and the same technique for every song...her voice hits higher note than usual. I am enjoying it, but I don't think it matches Budokan. Have you gotten the DVD yet Kworb?
I downloaded it. I've never seen better performances of Sakura Drops, Distance, Can You Keep A Secret, Wait & See ~Risk~, Hikari, Colors, the list goes on and on. And the three Exodus songs were just phenomenal, the highlight of the concert.
