Finally! After having talked about releasing a DVD since at least December 2005, Ging Nang BOYZ will release their long-awaited DVD “Boku-tachi wa Sekai wo Kaeru koto ga Dekinai” (僕たちは世界を変えることができない) on April 11. Priced at 3990 yen, the 138-minute DVD looks like it’ll contain live footage as well as other goodies. Product number is SKOOL-008 and the first pressing will be in a “clear package.”

The main question is probably, “What took so long?” Well, from a message posted by principle cameraman/editor Tezuka Kazuki on Ging Nang’s hatsukoi.biz website, from its conception the project quickly ballooned into 600,000 minutes of footage (roughly 1000 videotapes each 60 minutes long) which took 425 days to edit into a releasable product.

Not only will the video be released on DVD, but the band also plans to show the film at a theater in Tokyo before its official release. I’ll be lining up for that! Hopefully I can get tickets for that more easily than it is to get tickets to the Ging Nang/The Back Horn gig at Yokohama Blitz on February 23. Yes, I forgot about tickets going on sale and they are probably sold out already.
