Have just been reading some Japanese BBS messages about the show:

* Kikuko's performance as Lobelia is rated as "miracle performance"
  as onee-chan stayed in character for the whole show : acting very 
  very cool and not changed into her usual "laughing goddess" mode.

* The second show's final was very well received and have a standing 
  ovation.  Kozakura Etsuko and crying.  Some also thought Hidaka
  Noriko and Suyama Akio were also fighting very hard to hold their
  tear.

Last week, someone in this ML (I think it was Mink-san) said that 
there will not be a DVD release of this mini live show.  However, 
according to someone in @manbow BBS, ther WILL be a combine DVD 
release : 
Sakura Taisen Kayou Show 5 & Sakura Taisen Paris Hana-gumi Mini 
Live Show Special DVD Box (2 DVD), to be released in 2001/12, 
9800 yen pre-tax.

I know that a few of our fellow MLers had also attrended this 
event, especially the one who use MY TICKET to go to this event,
any event report ?    ^_^
