It’s been 3 years since Utada released her album This Is The One and tour it with her In The Flesh tour, but now finally, footage from two of those shows (The Filamore at Irving Plaza in New York and O2 Islington Academy in London) has been released for viewing pleasure.
The compilation brings her show featuring mainly tracks from her two English language albums, Exodus and This Is The One with a few Japanese thrown in for good measure. Sadly there are at points where, given the fact that the recording is split across two venues, that this is made blatantly obviously but at the same time, it’s sometimes done well. But when cutting between the venues in midst of a song….you then have to ask…what recording is actually being used?
As a “live” experience, it makes viewing a little awkward. Whilst some might argue that having it across the two venues isn’t a bad thing, at the same time, it would be nice to just have one full performance from one venue. Nice little memory for those that were there or for those that are curious at what they missed out on.
Rating:3/5
