As the band is revealed, the music for “Mother” bursts fully to life, blue lighting coming around the band members, the underside of the Black Maria stage curtain revealing swooping black curtains that give a very slight, very elegant goth feel, much better suited to a rock concert than a 3-story Virgin Mary look-alike.
This is the only part of the concert, however, that is difficult to stomach.

concept video on disc 2 makes it obvious that the curtain-statue is actually the Black Maria, watching it ascend at the beginning of the concert to reveal the band is so full of Japa-cheezy religious non-significance that I can hardly stomach it. The concert opens with the quietly energetic strings from “Mother” and a shot of the stage covered by a huge curtain shaped like what appears to be the Virgin Mary. I tried out both (2.0 with headphones, 5.1 with a sound system) and found that the sound performance was consistent across both tracks. The first disc opens with antiqued still-shots set to strings, scenes and Engrish related to the album concept, “The Case of the Black Maria.” The DVD menu comes up, strings still playing, offering you all the songs from the tour, as well as the option for 2.0 or 5.1 sound – an option I feel should be offered on all DVDs sold anywhere, ever.
The DVD features the final live of the tour, at the Nihon Budoukan.ĭisc 1 of the DVD contains the live itself, with bonus features on disc 2. albums and singles, playing with him for the “Q.E.D.” tour are Akihide from BREAKERZ (guitar), Yuki from DUSTAR-3 (guitar), Shuse from La’cryma Christi (bass), and Junji from Siam Shade (drums). Although yasu has recruited several different j-rock artists for A.B.C. Acid Black Cherry is the brainchild and solo project of yasu, vocalist from Janne de Arc.
