HIDE’S REQUEST REGARDING HIS RECORDINGS:
“I don’t want to upload my recordings on bittorrent sites anymore because a Japanese bootleg shop has sold most of my recordings. There are also many debates regarding me & my recordings at a Japanese SNS site. So, I don’t want to share with those people. But I will provide my recordings on these great DVD/Blu-ray projects!”

BLU-RAY PRODUCTION PROCESS: Audio and video assets initially edited in iMovie 6.0.3;
replaced initial iMovie 16-bit audio with 24-bit audio then converted iMovie file to MP4 file and imported that to TEMPGEnc AW 5 authoring to blu-ray.
