Hello! Project 2010 Winter Concert Tour ~Mobekimasu!~ & ~Shuffle Deeto!~ Blu-Ray Announced

adode13 May 24, 2010 Comments Off

It has just been announced that Hello! Project’s 2010 Winter Concert Tour’s ~Mobekimasu!~ and ~Shuffle Deeto!~ will be re-released on Blu-ray. This is the first Blu-ray release from H!P.

I’m glad that they are finally trying out blu-ray for some releases since I have heard that the quality is a lot better than a normal DVD (I haven’t watched any blu-rays so I have no idea if that is true), although in my opinion the sales will be somewhat lower than expected for many reasons.

For example, the DVD version of the concerts have already been released for quite some time now and the people that usually buy concert DVDs have already done so. Apart from that the price is roughly around 5,250 Yen for each one of the blu-ray concert DVDs, which is 1,450 Yen more than the DVD version (which means that you would have to pay about 2,900 Yen for a slight quality improvement in both releases).

Despite that there will probably be many fans who will want to buy the Blu-ray because of the higher quality (higher quality is always better) so hopefully sales are high enough to convince UFA to make more H!P blu-ray releases (solo image blu-rays for example) although we will have to wait and see what happens.

The release date is set for 8/4.

    Blu Ray discs are much better quality than regular DVD’s especially with todays TV’s. To me though, the most important thing about Blu Ray for those of us that love HP or anything released by Japan is that on Blu Ray the United States and Japan are the same region code.

    It’s good and all that they’re using bluray because of the better quality but I hope that they continue to release regular dvds. Because if they switch over to bluray then I’d have to get a machine that plays bluray… but I don’t think that’s going to happen soon… have you ever seen h!p have a VHS release of a concert?

      I remember reading somewhere that there were VHS releases of concerts near the late 90′s, but most of them are DVDs now ^_^

      I doubt they will replace DVDs with Blu-rays since the cost is larger (and only a few people use it) and also because only a small number of groups are releasing Blu-rays. I was just checking out the Blu-ray section on CDJapan and there seems only to be about 10 or so releases, even AKB48 only have two blu-ray releases (from 2007) XD

      This will most likely just be a small test to see the response, so we shouldn’t worry at all about Blu-ray releases replacing DVDs ^_^

        well i wouldn’t worry about it now but like maybe later, like maybe 15 years they’ll slowly stop releasing dvds and start doing things on bluray. but by then i should start getting into the trend of bluray.. lol
