Intriguing trio we got there for the arrangement. The usual NakaZaki duo enforced with the participation of I've creator Takase. The same trio who worked on Mami's song intron tone from the SAVIA album. Interesting.

Black Metamorphosis

Kawada Mami's performance in LisAni 2011 showed her metamorphosis from a rock princess to a rock diva. Her voice, aura, and energy on stage were one of a kind, just shows how great she can be on a live performance.

This great improvement from how she was on her first Budokan live 7 years ago wouldn't mean anything else but Mami expanding and unleashing her potentials. Totally astounding.

For the barrage of screencaps on Mami's rocking performance in LisAni 2011, refer below the cut.

The Great Cameo

Kawada Mami on ALTIMA's ONE PV.

The bus ALTIMA was on, as seen on Serment PV. ALTIMA's hardly noticed though.

Good job, Warner Home Video!
