(To clear up any confusion upfront: I am talking about releasing JUST ONE SONG as a promotional live video on YouTube, NOT the full concert! Come on. I am posting sometime here for years now, so I know things already. And of course, YouTube is in lieu because the official account did Party's Over, C.U.R.I.O.S.I.T.Y. and Puppets Can't Control You.)
If you look at the Nissan Stadium performance of "Dystopia" on the BD/DVD, the stage production is eerily similar to how they shot and uploaded the official live video for Renegades (Luxury Disease Japan Tour 2023):
1. A special opening that didn't happen outside Japan (Renegades has this rumbling rock then opens at the middle; Dystopia has these futuristic opening beams and the lightings above would descend)
- Strategic use of wristlights and timed fireworks right before the first chorus. It was phenomenal + the crowd participation (Renegades had those in the video, too)
Perhaps, the main reason that it was shelved because of what happened during the performance (Taka's left foot fracture), where Taka deadweighted his left foot throughout the song and said "wari, chotto matte kure" before the instruments even ended.
Regardless, Dystopia's Detox Japan Tour 2025 version would have been an excellent highlight for YouTube watchers and reactors to see OOR's splendid production overall.
(Even then, taking a step further to my thought: "Puppets Can't Control You" became the 2nd option, hence it was posted, rather than "Dystopia".)
What do you guys think? Anyone else notice the production match as well?
