Blu-Ray Release
Both concerts on May 5th were live-streamed on NicoNico and recorder "just in case".
Because of the success of the concerts, Square Enix decided to release a Blu-Ray disk with the recording of the nighttime May 5th concert "Farewell".
Along with a full video of the concert, the disk also features all recital drama performances (aside from Farewell which is shown in the actual video) in audio form. Disk menu allows to choose any of the performances and listen to them, at the same time watching text displayed on the screen in a similar style to visual novels from the game.
Furthermore, the disk has a PDF file with all of the recital drama scripts which can be also viewed from the disk menu.
Square Enix also opened pre-orders for the international release (though E-Store sells it as an import item.) featuring English and Chinese subtitles.
Blu-Ray disk was released September 20, 2017, and topped Oricon Weekly Overall Blu-ray Charts.[1]
