Rating: 4/4

The second bonus concert DVD that came with vol. 6 of Kiminozo. This time, it's only Minami singing. The songs included are the intros to the different variations of Kiminozo including the PS2 version, Dreamcast version, and the re-released DVD version. It also includes an encore where she sings Rumbling Hearts again and a short commercial.

Like with the first concert DVD, I had to listen to her singing live a few times before I could get used to it. Much of Kiminozo vocal music is digitally enhanced, so when she sings it live, it sounds different. Regardless, the songs were top notch. She performs one of my favorites, the PS2 intro, very well. The background music sounded a bit different and I prefer the original, but the vocals were terrific.

The encore version of Rumbling Hearts is how it's supposed to be. The first thing I noticed from the first concert DVD is that the audience was pretty dead when she was singing. Having other concert DVDs, the audience were always on their feet waving their hands and singing along. They finally did that when she sang the encore. I have to say I like the version on the first DVD though, simply because of the outfit. While she looks good in the white dress, the purple school uniform fit the story.
