## Akiko Shikata Concert 2013 LAYLANIA ~Black and White~ #### Country: Japan #### Genre: Neofolk, Darkwave, New Age #### Total duration: 01:54:49 + 00:04:41 #### Song navigation: yes #### Translation: Original-Latin-English / Original-Latin-Russian softsubs #### Release year: 2014  This is the debut full-length recorded concert of the divine Akiko Shikata over more than 12 years of creative period. It includes musical compositions from many of the singer’s previous works performed live on March 24, 2013 at the U-Port Hall in Shinagawa, Tokyo. The general concept is based on the filigree performance of the White Diva (Shiro no Utahime) role in the first part and the Black Diva (Kuro no Utahime) role in the second part of the concert. The video contains a convenient built-in navigation menu for songs and two audio tracks: one is actually a concert (in FLAC format) and second with detailed comments by Shikata-san on what is happening on stage (in AC3 format). Beautifully designed multi-level original subtitles with Latin transliteration and English/Russian translation for all songs with existing lyrics have been added. Additional extra clips are also included, contained on DVD as a bonus and shown to viewers on an impromptu movie screen as a prelude and postlude to the concert.
