Unusually for a performing arts Blu-ray, this has only a stereo audio track, despite being filmed in February 2019. A performance with Takada was also broadcast in cinemas on 19 February 2019, but I am not sure if the Blu-ray contains this exact performance, as it says the recording was made on 16 February 2019.

There are three brief video extras, all entirely in English with optional Japanese subtitles. Because the titles are in Japanese, I cannot relate with 100% accuracy what they are, but they are the same kind of promotional interview featurettes found on many classical and performing arts Blu-rays.

Note that an A5-size Clear File is included as an external paper bonus while supplies last.
