Made in Japan
Made in Japan is a live album by the English hard rock band Whitesnake, recorded at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama during the Loud Park Festival. It arrived in Japan on 3 April 2013, with European and US releases following later that month, and it was released on 22 April 2013 through Ward Records.
It came out in several formats: a Blu-ray, a single DVD set and a 2CD/DVD digipack. It followed Forevermore from 2011 in the band's catalogue, so it catches Whitesnake on the road in the years between that record and The Purple Album. Fans who want a festival-sized set from the later line of the band will find it here, and the recording was reissued in the live boxset Access All Areas: Live on 25 April 2025.
