Information

Lead 1st live tour ~Brand New Era~ is the first concert released on video by the Japanese hip-hop group Lead.[1] It was released on both DVD and VHS.[2] It broke into the top ten on the Oricon DVD charts at No. 9.[3]

Although the tour was to correspond with their second studio album, Brand New Era, most of the songs performed were from their debut album Life On Da Beat. They also performed the tour-exclusive song "Tribal Party" (stylized as TRIBAL PARTY), which would never be released on an album or single.[4]

The performance utilized for the video was their finale at Nakano Sun Plaza in Nakano, Tokyo on August 25, 2004.[5]
