Live in Tokyo (Wig Wam album)

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. A live video album of the show, Made in Japan, was released on the same date.

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. 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
In 2006, Wig Wam signed with King Records for the release of their albums in Japan. Following the record deal, the band toured the country in February and March 2007 as part of their Wig Wamania tour in support of their second studio album, with Swedish hard rock band Fatal Smile as the opening act. Live in Tokyo was recorded at Shibuya O-East in Tokyo on 26 February, 2007. The concert was the first show of the Japanese leg of the tour and had been sold out weeks prior to the performance. 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. In addition to being recorded, the show was also filmed for a video album titled Made in Japan. Before the tour and by the release of the live albums, the band had sold 30,000 and 60,000 records respectively in the country. Wig Wam returned to Japan later in 2007 for festival appearances in October.
