Truth be told I'm a huge fan of revue because of the theatre aspect but the closest I've ever been to theatre is playing the pit band, I can't sing to save my life. It hits different because of the music production, I'd never heard anything quite like the revue insert songs. The stuff from the musicals is good too but then a lot of the singles sound like idolshit though there are occasionally really cool ones that break from that.
I got into bandori recently after buying a bass guitar, it feels more homely since playing in a band is a really intimate thing where one member can bring the entire thing down. Anything theatre related is different in that the attitude is not 'Oh let's play music together', it's more a feeling of 'This is a production and we're playing out a role in service of the production.' It's hard to put properly in words but the amount of production is a lot to do with it. I'm sure bandori lives require a lot of setup but they don't have loads of props, stage hands, costume changes, and so on to the same intensity that you need for a musical.

D4DJ lacks either feeling and just strikes me as a series of lives with singers that I happen know but there's no connection between them. They don't have the mutual struggle of all learning an instrument together, or rehearsing an entire musical and live concert back to back, it's just some electronics making most of the show with some vocals on top.

Kidani needs to step up his master plan and do something whack like bushiroad concert/marching band or bushiroad jazz
