THIS IS MY BUDOKAN?! 2010.11.28

Description

THIS IS MY BUDOKAN?! 2010.11.28 captures ONE OK ROCK's historic first performance at the legendary Nippon Budokan, held on November 28, 2010. This concert was part of their nationwide "This is my own judgment" TOUR which ran from June to December 2010.

The DVD features a selection of 21 songs from the Budokan performance. While the full concert was not included, the selected tracks highlight the most impactful moments of the night, capturing the band's powerful stage presence and emotional performances. Notably, none of the songs from their second album, BEAM OF LIGHT, were performed during this concert. In addition, fan favorites such as Yume Yume and Et Cetera were also left out of the setlist, reflecting the band's desire to focus on their evolving sound and more recent material. As bonus content, the DVD includes two additional tracks recorded during the tour's final performance on December 11, 2010, at Sakurazaka Central in Okinawa. This show was billed as the "tour final" and provided a more intimate closing chapter to the nationwide tour. On the same day as the DVD release, the band also released their 5th single, Answer is Near. Fans who purchased both the DVD and the single received a special bonus: the "Tour Final Documentary in Okinawa" digest DVD. This exclusive documentary captures behind-the-scenes footage from the tour's final performance at Sakurazaka Central in Okinawa, including the band's arrival, preparations, and post-concert celebrations.

The Budokan concert itself was a major turning point in ONE OK ROCK's career, symbolizing their transition from a rising indie band to a mainstream rock act capable of headlining one of Japan's most iconic venues. Performing at the Nippon Budokan is considered a prestigious achievement for Japanese artists, and this sold-out show marked their growing popularity and solidified their status as one of the leading bands in Japan's rock scene. The success of this performance and the DVD release played a crucial role in paving the way for their future large-scale tours and increasing international recognition.
