East Of Eden’s Stellar First Live Performance at Zepp DiverCity (TOKYO) in October is now a Complete Video Collection – ‘World Premiere Special Showcase 2023’, Releasing March 13, 2024!
The legendary live show by East Of Eden, which sold out tickets in a flash and left many fans longing for a glimpse, is now immortalized in a video compilation. This collection, titled “World Premiere Special Showcase 2023”, includes the full tracklist from their highly anticipated major first mini-album “Forbidden Fruit -1st piece-“, released on December 20. It features the digital single “Evolve”, which dropped in August, and the hit track “This Moment”, which created a buzz with over 900,000 views on its music video within just three weeks of its release. Alongside these are other fan favorites like “Rasen Kairo (Spiral Corridor)”, “Mujuryoku Hikou (Zero Gravity Flight)”, and “Hanabi”, making up a total of 13 tracks and MC moments.
Don’t miss out on the mini-album’s 5 selected tracks featured in a digest trailer now available on the East Of Eden official YouTube channel. Be sure to check it out!
This video compilation is more than just the live show. It’s a full experience package, featuring a Blu-ray edition that includes not only the main live performance but also behind-the-scenes and rehearsal footage shot in a Tokyo studio. For those who prefer just the live show, there’s a DVD edition. But the real gem is the limited edition available exclusively at the ‘Victor Online Store’. This collector’s dream combines the Blu-ray with a luxurious A4-sized photo book, all wrapped up in a sleek sleeve case. It’s a limited production, so it seems like it might be a Japan-exclusive gem… for now.
Live Streaming on YouTube Channel!
And there’s more exciting news for fans! On December 19th, at 23:00, the eve of their major first mini-album release, “Forbidden Fruit -1st piece-“, East Of Eden is set to host a special live talk show, streaming for one hour on their official YouTube channel. This event will feature all five band members, diving deep into each track of the mini-album, sharing behind-the-scenes stories from the recording sessions, and recounting anecdotes from their first live show. As it’s a live stream, it’s unlikely to have English subtitles, so get ready for an authentic experience… live and unfiltered!
Furthermore, right after the YouTube live stream, at midnight on December 20th (Note: All times mentioned are in Japan Standard Time, so keep that in mind!), the music video for ‘Hanabi’, a track from the mini-album, will premiere. Fans will have the unique opportunity to transition directly from the talk live show to watch the premiere alongside the band members. It’s a seamless experience from live discussion to music video debut, making it a night to remember for East Of Eden’s fans.
Akane Minato (Vocals) Comments
Our very first live performance as East Of Eden is finally being visualized! I’m so excited to share this with not only those who were able to join us on that day but also with everyone who couldn’t make it to the live show. This release is perfect timing as we gear up for our 2nd one-man live on March 19th at Zepp Haneda (TOKYO). It’s a kind gesture for our fans, allowing them to prep for the upcoming concert. So, definitely check it out! Join us on December 19th for our YouTube talk live show, where we’ll heighten the pre-debut night festivities with our unique blend of tension and laid-back conversation. And let’s enjoy the premiere of our third music video, ‘Hanabi’, together!
