I would think Microphone.. but idk. The people who were there did say they filmed it, right? It really should be included..

Sexy little things was filmed after Microphone was, so I would think perhaps... Sexy little things instead?

They might show glimpses of the fans every so often during BOTH of the making ofs though, haha.

Wait, what is this for? She did MUSIC JAPAN and HEY!HEY!HEY! already... so...?

HUH? Haha.

CDTV?

So that's the photo for MS performance right?

BTW anyone who has the LL translation? THX

Last Links

目覚めとともに窓に目を向け
やわらかく強く射し込め光を
見たらなぜだか涙こぼれた
聞こえたんだろう確かに感じたんだろう
今日のこんな空ならきっとうまく歩いていける気がするんだ

そう僕らはこの青いホシを踏みしめては生きてくんだよ
この世界に広がり続けるすべての魂は癒されなくとも

うつむいたなら立ち止まればいい
進むべきではないという合図なんだろう
今日の空は高く遠すぎるからうまく呼吸ができないよ

でも僕らはこの青いホシを踏みしめては生きてくんだよ
この世界にはびこり続けるすべての怒りは止められなくとも

今日のこんな空ならきっとうまく歩いていける気がするんだ

今僕らはこの青いホシを踏みしめては生きてくんだよ
この世界にまだ残っている愛を確かに抱き締めながら

この世界にまだ残っている
愛は確かにここに残ってる

Opening my eyes and looking out the window
Watching the illuminating light, gentle yet strong
Somehow, my tears fell
Can you hear it? Surely you can feel it
If this is today's sky, we can surely set off well

Yes, we have lived by stepping out on this blue star (Earth)
We will continue to spread around the world, even if we can't heal any souls

If you can't lift up your head, it's best if you stop here
Because it's a sign that you can't go on
Because today's sky is too high up, too far out of reach, you won't be able to breathe

But we have lived by stepping out on this blue star
We will continue to spread around the world, even if we can't stop all the rage

If this is today's sky, we can surely set off well

Now, we have lived by stepping out on this blue star
We will leave our mark in this world, while holding tightly onto love

We will leave our mark in this world
We will surely leave our love here

The interludes for this album are EPIC imo. In a live context, they're going to be MORE EPIC THAN EPIC CAN BE.

Why would she post it 5-6 days after it happened though? Hm...

(Same message as in JPM)
Guys, I did my best to read and romanize the Last Links lyrics, but I'm sure it's full of mistakes, so please correct me if you see something wrong (especially if you can read kanji!!)

Spoiler:

So happy to see so much Yuta Nakano in the credits. Btw, can anyone tell me what Hana Nishimura has worked on in the past? I haven't heard that name passed around.

Hana Nishimura is/was a brand new composer whose debut work was Sunrise.

She seems to have done J-R&B indie stuff before, but that's about it.

One minute I read "these interludes are absolutely terrible!"

The next minute I read "these interludes are the best ever ever ever! Way better than NEXT LEVEL!"

I thought NEXT LEVELs interludes were the best ever actually. Seriously, it's the only album that I actually would get in the mood to listen to a certain interlude. I loved them!

Booklet looks amazing ! i really want this album !

i havent listened to them and i dont really want to... but why are they SO BAD apparently?

someone please explain

I think that NEXT LEVEL had some really good album interludes, but they didn't really do that great when translated to the stage.

With these interludes, they're great on the album and will probably sound AMAZING/EPIC/EPIC/EPIC when they play during the tour.

If you haven't listened, you'll get what I mean when you do.

Some people just really don't like them, like how a ton of people HATE Curtain call.

random comparison but okay xD They are just interludes anyway, wont really matter if I like them or not... but people picking on them as they do kinda annoys me a bit lol as I said, they are just interludes :shrug

I actually prefer them saying that they are her worst interludes ever than saying that she's done some similar interludes before, it means she's trying new things in her albums all the time :yes
