In the Silence 2011 DVD Edition

To wet your appetite! Enjoy the DVD everyone!

EDIT: I managed to watch the first disc of the concert yesterday but by good fortune my 2PM Members Selection arrived so I was torn between watching the rest of the concert and enjoying the musical talents of Junho et. al. And then I had yoga...all in all, Wednesday was way too eventful and I couldn't concentrate on Maaya as much as I would have liked due to all the photos of 2PM which arrived at my doorstep, trying to cook, then posing in impossible positions.

However! Despite dividing my attention between beautiful KPop boybands, yoga, cooking dinner, getting changed and the concert, the following jumped out on first viewing (I may do a full review later):

- The camera angles are wonderful. I have noticed on all Maaya's DVDs the cameraman catch some beautiful shots of Maaya, but this time the band and backing singers also struck me as having lovely pieces of screen time.

- The full band really brings easy listening and 30 Minutes Night Flight to life, especially the strings on tracks like 'kioku' and 'afternoon repose'.

- Maaya's wearing a wedding ring (a very pretty one!)

- You cannot see where I am sitting at all! Phew. Although I saw Jerome and Roxfan from maayas.net quite often in the audience.

- Hearing the mini-albums in full, straight through, back to back, is a real pleasure. I am so, so, so happy this concert exists. The sound is full on and rich, the costumes are beautiful and the whole set up is really unique. I am very happy to have been part of it and to have it in my hands on DVD.
