Like last concert, this concert was well attended with the full venue capacity being exhausted. Because the demand for tickets was extremely high for a small venue, an extra concert was announced and then performed on June 2nd, two days before the other concerts in Tokyo.
This concert was filmed by MTV Japan and then partially broadcasted. Nummweltverschmutzung and the first half of Music Non Stop are included in the broadcast. Short clips of The Robots and Music Non Stop were used in the broadcast promo. It's unknown whether the entire concert was filmed or only selected songs like in Rio De Janeiro 1998.
After getting used to the instruments, Kraftwerk made less mistakes during this performance. Lots of wrong notes by Ralf and faulty MIDI triggers can be heard in the first concert. The project file of Lichthof was presumably corrupted thus Lichthof having to be removed from the setlist. After trying to play Lichthof during the second night, they gave up. Only during Ralf's solo in Music Non Stop, wrong note that are easily noticeable are played. This could explain why the second half of Music Non Stop wasn't broadcasted.

Even though this recording is highly enjoyable to listen, it has the worst quality out of the three concerts together with the first night recording. The high frequencies are slightly muffled in most songs and the dynamic range is somewhat low.
As usual, depth, bass and treble have been strengthened using multiple EQs, but I didn't compress the sound since it would make the dynamic range worse. I was able to restore some of the higher frequencies with the same method.
