Information

Lead Upturn 2016 ～The Showcase～ is the thirteenth concert video released by the Japanese hip-hop group Lead. The video was released on December 21, 2016 on both DVD and Blu-ray. It took #57 on the Oricon DVD charts and #90 on the Oricon Blu-ray charts, remaining on the charts for two weeks and one week respectively.[1][2]

The DVD included a collection of MCs showing off their skills, while the Blu-ray carried behind-the-scene footage of the tour's finale.[3] For those who purchased the concert video, there was one of two probable items: a ticket to Lead's New Year's Party in Tokyo in January, or a special tour good.

The tour became their first in four years to correspond with the release of an album, their previous being 10th Anniversary Tour Lead Upturn 2012 ～Now or Never～,[4] corresponding with their seventh studio album The Showcase.[5]

With the album having been put together in order the group intended to perform the songs,[6] most of the tracks were performed in the order released, only broken up occasionally by songs from singles released throughout the era.[7] The concept of the tour was to give the members a challenge, whereas they performed various genres previously unreleased. The group only performed two songs outside of those released post Now or Never through The Showcase; the song "Virgin Blue" from the album 4 (2006), and their then-unreleased song "Dilemma", which would later be released on their 2017 single Tokyo Fever.[8]

The performance utilized on the DVD and Blu-ray was of their finale at Nakano Sun Plaza in Nakano, Tokyo on September 10, 2016.[9]
