The Campaign

To amaze the fans with their rock spirits, without any previous notification, we “locked” an over 10 hour-long videos contained in this DVD and put it out on sales. The only way to unlock and see the contents is to complete the games of the enclosed disc. By playing these games using a remote controller of the DVD, fans can experience the roots of the band.

Creative Execution

All the movie contents were locked, and only ways to unlock the contents is to clear the game within the DVD. But all these information were kept secret and sold as a regular LIVE DVD at record store in Japan.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

This DVD made a big wave in society and was sold out in many shops. Not just existing fans, but game fans were also excited about this DVD and attained number 1 at Japanese biggest music sales chart. The band were recognized as "The band that continues to rock".

Primary target is the band fans. They support the band’s outrageously “Rock” style and posting praise message on SNS. And that causes the buzz and expands the recognition and the brand to people who is unfamiliar of the band.
