Stratovarius, the melodic power metal heavyweights who never fail to captivate Japanese fans, returned to Japan with their 15th masterpiece album, *Eternal*! This release features a complete recording of the January 30th Osaka show—part of their first standalone Japan tour in seven years—captured in superb, ultra-high audio quality that delivers immense power and an immersive live atmosphere. Experience the raw, incredibly realistic, and electrifying sound all over again! The recording also perfectly encapsulates the heated energy of the nearly sold-out venue; it is guaranteed to get your blood pumping!

The setlist blends four tracks from the new album—"My Eternal Dream," "Lost Without A Trace," "The Lost Saga," and "Shine In The Dark"—with classic hits from their back catalog. The epic ten-minute track "The Lost Saga" is a particular highlight, offering a brilliant performance that fully showcases the band members' exceptional musicianship! With a career spanning over three decades, the band has a vast catalog of songs fans want to hear; they delighted longtime followers by performing early classics like "Against the Wind" and "SOS." They even treated the audience to "Forever" during the encore—a track not included in the Tokyo setlist! The entire show is packed with highlights. Timo Kotipelto’s vocals are in astonishing form, and combined with the rock-solid ensemble work of the band's technically gifted musicians, the performance is nothing short of superb. Although the 95-minute runtime is relatively brief, this is a commanding live show from a band that continues to evolve—an absolute must-hear for fans. Brought to you by the Sylph label with stunning cover art and pristine sound quality, this definitive recording captures the Osaka performance perfectly. It is an essential memorial item for any fan!
