I missed the first press extra (I believe it was a can badge, not a total loss). The first press bluray comes with a shiny cardboard jacket. Unfortunately, this material used for this jacket isn't too great. Within a day of unwrapping my disc, it's already slightly warped.

Content-wise, it's a recording of May'n's concert at the Budokan on 6th March 2011. Songs from her "If you..." album, such as "My Lovely Thing" and "Phonic Nation" are included. I especially loved "Funanori" and "My Lovely Thing". These two songs alone are enough to warrant the 7000 yen price tag of the disc.

"Get it On!", from the Macross Frontier: Sayonara no Tsubasa movie is also a part of the set list. However, this song was clearly meant to be a duet and is somewhat lacking with just May'n alone performing it.

The video is presented in 16:9 ratio (what else could it be in this day and age, eh?) and is encoded using the MPEG4 AVC codec (1080p). There is only one audio track which is in the LPCM 2.0 Stereo format. Total running time is 203 minutes.

Now to convince myself NOT to buy that other May'n bluray:
