GADORO is set to make a mark on summer 2025 with an exceptional release: on July 2nd, he will simultaneously unveil two major works that showcase the remarkable evolution of his career. On one hand, the DVD “四畳半から武道館 at 日本武道館” (Yojouhan kara budoukan ) immortalizes his March 6th concert at the legendary Nippon Budokan. This over two-hour performance, centered on tracks from his “TAKANABE” album, offers a retrospective of his artistic journey enhanced by diverse collaborations and spectacular staging. The DVD, priced at 7,980 yen, features re-edited footage from the live broadcast with completely remixed and remastered audio.
The bonus content significantly enriches the experience with a comprehensive documentary including exclusive interviews with GADORO, DJs MXNIST and HITOSHI who provided the musical entertainment, as well as testimonies from the technical staff. Viewers will also discover behind-the-scenes footage of the concert, rehearsals, and numerous interviews with guest artists, all punctuated by never-before-seen sequences.
