Unfortunately no subtitles ...

Do subtitles even get included in DVD releases of concerts normally? I mean in terms of Japanese/Korean ones, as next to no Japanese releases of anything have English subtitles to begin with D:

Also disappointing the duets are gone, I like Gyuri and Seungyeon's performance :<

I have pre-ordered the Limited Blu-ray version on cdjapan...and no I'm broke. The regular edition has a better cover but I end buying the limited because I wanted the keep the same edition as the previous concerts I have bought...I know it is silly :gemsorry:

Just placed my order on amazon.jp (which I notice never gets linked in these sorts of threads for some reason?). Total for the limited edition blu-ray was $49.29, including shipping. They only offer "Amazon Global Shipping," which doesn't actually give an estimated delivery date, but my orders have always come in within a few days of the release date. Currently the cheapest place you can order this from.

 

Forgot to mention that my delivery estimate is Saturday, 3/21

I just watched the Blu-ray version, and I am disappointed.

Not only are the duets cut out, but also Seungyeon's solo stage is cut (only the first song is included) and overall the editing sucks. The WOWOW broadcast is definitely the better version. The second half of the concert isn't so bad, but the first half is simply the director trying to find weirdest possible angles, like from the side of the stage, behind people's heads and whatever. Compared to the WOWOW version there are several minutes of KARA talking to audience included, which may or may not be the reason for cutting some performances to save space. Or maybe it was copyright issues. Or in Seungyeon's case, maybe that performance was seen a bit too... eh... dirrty for some viewers.

 
 

What surprised me the most was that this is entirely new cut compared to WOWOW. I was expecting something like SNSD's 3rd Japan tour, where like 95% is the same, and only few closeups and such added. But there are hardly any same angles, which is otherwise nice, except that the director has chosen so bad angles. And often very weird choices... like the ending of "Happy Happy Love" where KARA turns their backs to audience, the angle that the Blu-ray has is actually from the stage, so KARA actually turns towards the camera... which completely destroys the choreographic point of that ending...

 
 

Some closeups were nice though. Like seeing Gyuri's mic during her solo... it actually has "GYURI" written on it. Not hangeul, not katakana, but latin alphabet. I guess your mileage will vary on this one. Will rewatch it still, but overall, I will be going back to WOWOW version when I want to see this concert later on.

Never seen Japanese releases with subtitles. Korean ones sometimes do. Like SNSD's "2011 Girls' Generation Tour" DVD has subtitles in Korean, Japanese, and Chinese... not in English though. And those subtitles have some spelling errors and stuff too, so it's not really much of a benefit to have them.

I bought the Karasia live in Seoul concert 3DVD release and it comes with english subtitles. I hope they try to include them in the future, it would be nice with the worldwide fans.

So it's not even worth waiting for someone to post a rip of the DVD/BD anywhere? The only other concert I've seen the TV and official release of is the Happy New Year one, and that's pretty much the same with some slightly different angles for parts, better VTR transitions and the KARA the Animation promo removed in the official release. I'd think they'd have kept to that for this concert too and kept the cut down to the duet stages, but now it just sounds like they didn't care as much for the DVD/BD copy as they did for the TV airing ;-;
