Singer/seiyuu/actor Naozumi Takahashi’s 16th live DVD, features his VOICE RENDEZVOUS tour final, held at Shinagawa Stellar Ball on November 30, 2014. Peaked at #7 on the Oricon Music DVD chart.

A really strong release. Naozumi tries his hand at choreography, there’s a good variety of songs here, stylistically, and his voice is in great shape. In terms of mix and mastering, the sound here is full and bright, and the image quality is nice and sharp.

I sort of think of this concert as having two halves, with the first half being comparatively more ‘serious’/focused and the second being unabashedly playful. A lot of enjoyment to be had here regardless of what your mood is, for sure.

Recommendations marked below. italic underlines denote songs at least three out of the five people I watched this with agreed were a highlight of the show, bold italic underlines denotes unanimous agreement that a song was a major highlight.
