Unlike the past two Super Sentai Spirits concerts, this third edition unfortunately was not filmed for DVD, and no plans for a CD release were announced. -

1. Gaoranger Hoero!! (Gaoranger op): Yukio Yamagata
[What an opening! Yamagata-san not only growled, howled, and strutted, he also spun and swung a huge naval-version rising-sun nishiki flag on a pole all through the song in ultra-kakkoii bosozokuesque colorguard style!]
2. Kizuna -Spirit of GaoRanger- (Gaoranger ins): Yukio Yamagata, Salia
[This funky give-and-take tune became even more fun when Yamagata-san got so carried away by the beat, he blew his singing spot that starts the second verse--dancing around as the music went on without him, and then getting startled out of it when grinning Salia sang her line on cue, hee!]
3. Healin' You (Gaoranger end): Salia
4. Hurricaneger Sanjou! (Hurricaneger op): Hideaki Takatori
[I've only been lucky enough to see Takatori-san in the Super Sentai concerts; his super-high energy is electrifying every time!]
5. Kaze yo, Mizu yo, Daichi yo (Hurricaneger ins): Hideaki Takatori
[Every bit as supercharged!]
6. Ima Kaze no Naka de (Hurricaneger end): Hironobu Kageyama
[Kage-chan kept things hot, delivering this with extra intensity!]
7. Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger (Abaranger op): Masaaki Endou
[Well, you know "Etchi" wasn't about to be outdone...wow!!]
8. Dinoguts ga Tomaranai (Abaranger ins): Hironobu Kageyama
[The crowd went absolutely wild!]
9. ABARE-SPIRIT FOREVER (Abaranger ins): Akira Kushida
[I've heard fans sing this at karaoke, but this was the first time to hear it by the man himself!]
10. We are the ONE -Bokura wa Hitotsu- (Abaranger end): Akira Kushida
11. Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger (Dekaranger op): Psychic Lover
[Always a highlight! (Joe even delivered some licks right in the center of my sightline, woo-hoo!)]
12. Dekaranger Action (Dekaranger ins): Psychic Lover
[Another mondo crowd-pleaser!]
13. Dekamaster NEVER STOP (Dekaranger ins): Isao Sasaki
14. Midnight Dekaranger (Dekaranger end): Isao Sasaki
[Mannn, Sasaki-san rocked every ounce of swing in this thing!]
15. Mahou Sentai Magiranger (Magiranger op): Takafumi Iwasaki
[Iwasaki-san (who also wrote this tune) always looks so happy to be there...!]
16. Mahou no JUMON (Magiranger ins): Takafumi Iwasaki, Sister MAYO
[Hadn't heard this before. Cute!]
17. Majin Gattai! Magiking (Magiranger ins): Masaaki Endou
18. Jumon Kourin -Magical Force- (Magiranger end): Sister MAYO
[I've long feared this song. Deeply. But this time I feared it a little less--which is either a good sign, or a very, very bad one... ;^) ]
19. Gougou Sentai Boukenger (Boukenger op): NoB
[What, no mike-stand whirling...? Who are you, and what have you done with NoB?! ;^) ]
20. Boukenger GO ON FIGHTING! (Boukenger ins): NoB
[Another super-popular insert song!]
21. Boukensha ON THE ROAD (Boukenger end): Psychic Lover
[Holy cats, Yoffy was able to hold the final note 'til the music ended...!]
22. Juuken Sentai Gekiranger (Gekiranger op): Takayoshi Tanimoto
[Here's what especially bites about no DVD release for this concert--this hasn't had a live recording yet, arrggh...]
23. Burning up! -Jounetsu o Uketsui de- (Gekiranger ins): Ichirou Mizuki, Takayoshi Tanimoto
[Aniki's arrival prompted a huge welcome from the crowd!]
24. Chikai (Gekiranger ins): Ichirou Mizuki
[Wowwww...!]
25. Tao (Gekiranger end): Ichirou Mizuki
26. Engine Sentai Go-onger (Go-onger op): Hideyuki Takahashi
[With the place roaring all around him, Takahashi-san was grinning in almost maniacal glee for most of the song. Think his expression meant, "This has got to be a dream...and I don't want to wake up!"]
27. Engine First Lap -Type Normal- (Go-onger end): Project.R (Takayoshi Tanimoto, Sister MAYO, Ken'ichirou Ooishi)
[Mannn, the folks up front all seemed to know the entire dance...first time that night I was glad to have wound up about halfway back in the hall...]
28. Engine Second Lap -TURBO CUSTOM- (Go-onger end): Project.R (Takayoshi Tanimoto, Sister MAYO, Hideyuki Takahashi, Hideaki Takatori, Mayumi Gojo, Takafumi Iwasaki, YOFFY, IMAJO, Ken'ichirou Ooishi)
[More members of the ever-expanding Project.R came pouring in to fill the stage! Ooishi couldn't answer when Shocker asked how many members they're up to now; "Better figure it out soon, you've got a live coming up!" quipped Shocker, referring to the February "Go-onger" concert announced the day before.]
ENCORE 29. Himitsu Sentai Goranger (Goranger end): Isao Sasaki and all cast
[After Isao Sasaki belted out the first verse, Aniki grabbed the first few lines of the second verse, delivering them in a hip-wigglin' Sasaki imitation that had the big guy helpless with laughter once he got the mike back!]
