Outline

Gekokujyo Xstasy was the first nationwide tour for Shiina performed from April 17, 2000 to June 7. The live video takes up two performances at NHK Hall and at Fukuoka Sunpalace mainly from this tour.

The stage design of the tour makes a hospital a motif like her single "Honnou." The stage setting imitated an operating room, and an ECG Monitor or an anatomical model of the human body, etc. were arranged on the stage, and the synthesizer and the drum set were laid on operating tables. Shiina wears a white dress looks like gauze bandages with which she blinds her body. Four members of the tour band also wear the white coat.

The recorded songs are chosen from the second album "Shouso Strip" mainly. Some songs containing single "Koko de Kiss Shite", "Gibs", etc. were not recorded. New songs "Yattsuke Shigoto" and "Gamble" shown during this tour weren’t recorded, but, they were recorded in Shiina’s live album "Zecchōshū" instead.
