Information

Lead Upturn 2007 ~B.W.R~ is the fourth concert DVD released by the Japanese hip-hop group Lead. It was their fourth tour and third annual Upturn tour, which they would house every year. It ranked at #34 on the Oricon DVD Charts, yet dropped off the charts in the first week. [1]

During the tour, the group performed the unreleased songs "B.W.R", "Sweetest Taboo", "Red Eye Night" and "Features" (FEATURES). The songs would remain tour-exclusives, never garnering an official release on a single or album.

The performance utilized on the DVD was of their performance at the Nakano Sun Plaza in Nakano, Tokyo. [4]
