== Information ==

Tickets went on sale 3rd December. The concert was sponsored by J-Wave and MTV Japan.<ref>[http://creativeman.co.jp/2007/muse Creativeman.co.jp]</ref>

This was the longest set list ever played by Muse until [[Coventry Ricoh Arena 2013 (gig) | 2013]] and lasted almost two hours, not including encore breaks and so on. 

Sing for Absolution was played for the first time in over 2 years. This gig also marked the first time that Sing for Absolution featured additional piano by Morgan. (Every performance of the song during the Black Holes and Revelations era went on to be played in this same manner). 

Citizen Erased wasn't preceded by a percussion intro, as did Apocalypse Please as [[Intro (song)|Intro]] wasn't played (only Bellamy marking the rythm on piano).

The balloons were released during Bliss.
