About the Live CD
Suchmos THE LIVE YOKOHAMA STADIUM 2019.09.08 was released as a standalone Live CD, distilling the band's landmark stadium performance into nine essential tracks. The disc was priced at ¥1,000 (tax included).
Recorded live on September 8, 2019 at Yokohama Stadium, this CD offers a curated selection from the full 19-song setlist. Two tracks performed that night — "WHY" and "Burn" — were not included in the recording due to production reasons.
The live recording captures the full atmosphere of that September evening at Yokohama Stadium, where the band delivered a career-defining performance before a massive audience. The energy of the crowd, the open-air acoustics, and the band's tight, confident playing all come through clearly on the disc. For fans who were present that night, the CD serves as a keepsake of a memorable experience, while those who could not attend get a faithful window into what unfolded on stage. The nine-track selection was carefully chosen to represent the arc of the show, moving from the opening moments through to the closing notes with a sense of narrative flow.
The packaging reflects the thoughtful, understated aesthetic that has come to define the band's visual identity, with clean typography and a restrained color palette that echoes the design language of the era. The booklet offers a glimpse into the night through imagery and presentation that complement the music rather than overshadow it. Listening to the recording, one can hear the interplay between the vocalist and the instrumentalists, the subtle shifts in tempo, and the spontaneous moments that make live performance distinct from studio work. It stands as a document of a band at the height of its powers, comfortable in a stadium setting yet still intimate in its delivery.
For collectors and newcomers alike, the release represents a significant chapter in the band's history, marking a milestone performance at one of Japan's most iconic venues. The decision to present a condensed version of the setlist demonstrates a focus on quality over quantity, ensuring that each track earns its place in the sequence. The omission of certain songs from the full performance was a deliberate production choice, allowing the remaining selections to flow together more cohesively. The result is a concise, powerful statement that captures the essence of the band's live identity while leaving listeners with a sense of what the complete evening must have felt like.
