Live in Tokyo is the Norwegian glam metal band Wig Wam's first live album. The album was recorded on 26 February, 2007, at Shibuya O-East in Tokyo, and released later that year on 11 June.[1] A live video album of the show, Made in Japan, was released on the same date.[1][2]

The European edition of the album included two bonus songs, "After the Nine O'Clock News" and "Flying High", previously released on the Japanese edition of Wig Wamania.[1] The Japanese version of Live in Tokyo included a bonus disc with four additional songs: an acoustic version of "Bygone Zone", "Crazy Things" live at Shibuya O-East, and "Slave To Your Love" and "After The Nine O'Clock News" performed at soundcheck.

Background and recording

Live in Tokyo was recorded at Shibuya O-East in Tokyo, on 26 February, 2007, during the band's Wig Wamania tour in support of their second studio album.[1] The concert was the first show of the Asian leg of the tour and had been sold out weeks prior to the performance.[1][3] Japanese music journalist Masanori Ito, who had previously picked Hard To Be A Rock'n Roller as album of the month on his radio show, introduced the band on stage.[4] In addition to being recorded, the show was also filmed for a video album titled Made in Japan.
