Live: Legend I, D, Z Apocalypse (stylized as LIVE ～LEGEND I、D、Z APOCALYPSE～) is the first live video release by the Japanese band Babymetal.

The album contains all three concerts that the band gave in Tokyo as its first so-called one-man live series ("one-man live" is a wasei-eigo term for a concert performed by one artist, i.e. without an opening act): on October 6 at Shibuya O-East, on December 20, 2012 at Akasaka Blitz, and on February 1, 2013 at Zepp Tokyo.[1]

It was released in two versions: on October 19, 2013 as a limited (1,500 copies) edition DVD box set (to be sold at all Tower Records stores, at Tower Records online store and in the Tokyo (Shinjuku) Beams Japan store.[2][3] and on November 20 of the same year on Blu-ray Disc.[2] The Blu-ray version debuted at number 7 in the weekly Oricon Blu-ray Disc Chart.[4]

Content

The band performed live at Shibuya O-East on October 6th, 2012, beginning with the opening track "Babymetal Death". After performing more songs, Nakamoto leaves the stage while Mizuno and Kikuchi debut the song "Onedari Daisakusen", performing as Black Babymetal while wearing black hooded jackets and grasping a towel, shouting chants "Buy!" and "Please!". Next, Nakamoto performs the new song "Akatsuki", with the performance emphasizing vocal ability over melody. After the performance of "Doki Doki ☆ Morning", the three members leave the stage and apparently end the show shouting "See you!". However, the members eventually return to the stage via coffins, and, for the first time, perform the music with a live band in the encore. After "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" ends, the song is announced for a single release on January 9, 2013.[5]

Next, the band performed at Akasaka Blitz on December 20, 2012, nearly coinciding with Nakamoto's fifteenth birthday. Three covers are performed, including a cover of the Speed song "White Love" performed solely by Nakamoto, the Karen Girl's song "Over the Future" (of which Nakamoto was a member), and the folk song "Tsubasa o Kudasai" in the encore. The band also performs a remix of their song "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!", which contains elements of dubstep. In the encore, a video interlude explains that Nakamoto must rescue Mizuno and Kikuchi, and the concert ends with her apparent crucifixion.[6]

For the last of three concerts, Babymetal performed at Zepp Tokyo on February 1, 2013. In continuation of the events from the previous concert, Nakamoto begins on stage crucified, then performs "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" with Mizuno and Kikuchi. In the concert, the band performs the song "Catch Me If You Can" live for the the first time, which appeared on the band's newly released single "Ijime, Dame, Zettai". In the encore, a clock counts down to 00:00:00, at which point Nakamoto whispers "We are…" with the audience shouting "Babymetal!"; this repeats with increasing volume until the band begins to perform "Babymetal Death" live. At this point, the three members of the band are draped in white stage costumes. At the end of the show, an announcement is made for another concert at NHK Hall on June 30, while the management reveals that Babymetal would remeain active after Nakamoto leaves Sakura Gakuin.[7]
