ok first, page 7 is just a translation of page 6.

"The charm of boy sopranos, presented in a whole new style by Libera. When this boy choir, started in the mid-1980's at a church in South London, was reborn as "Libera" in 1998, the producer, Robert Prizeman, set out a clear concept. That is, to blend together ancient traditions going back to medieval churches with today's mainstream music to create a new music scene. This was in line with a wide public movement in the late 1990's in Britain, where tradition is valued more than anywhere else, to break free from the prevailing image of the old power and to turn actively toward the "modern" and the "pop" so as to present traditions in a whole new incarnation."
"However, to find your own niche between classical and popular music is doubtlessly quite a great challenge. [ok this next sentence is giving me a lot of trouble so I'm going take a wild guess] In order to succeed, you must find an originality (???) that can be found nowhere else (????). Prizeman achieved this difficult task brilliantly, by comprehensively coordinating not just the music but also everything from costumes to staging. Those efforts bore fruit when the third album, Free, swept the world's classical charts by storm. Japan was no exception: after going on sale in February 2005, it stayed in the number one spot for three weeks. Riding that momentum, the first tour of Japan occurred in April 2005. After a second tour in October 2005, Libera's name was inscribed firmly onto the Japanese stage. Afterward, not only did Libera become a regular of the Japanese music scene through regular tours, they also collaborated with eminent composer Takatsugu Muramatsu and sang the theme songs to the 2006 NHK Saturday drama "Ice Wall" and the 2009 movie "Nobody to Watch Over Me" (director Ryoichi Kimizuka), winner of the Best Screenplay Award at the 32nd Montreal Film Festival, thereby garnering wide attention beyond music fans. Extreme circumstances appear on the screen. Confused, anguished characters. Into this world with no happy endings, Libera's clear voice pours forth like a merciful light from heaven. [this next sentence is confusing the hell out of me again, so the following is an approximation] At the same time, the members are usually regular, carefree boys playing around, it can be said that the carefree manner and the brilliant, beautiful voices bring forth a sense of familiar empathy and unaffected warmth."
"Finally, we welcome them on the April 2010 Japan Tour. The program on this tour incorporates many songs from their new album "Peace" that was released in March in Japan."
