A new mini album to be released in Japan?

[Murkskis]

Iam
OK.I am frightened because of the aftershock.

Hope you keep your spirits up! No matter how strong is the earthquake and aftershock it just has to end! And I wish it ends very soon !

So I was listening to the clip of "Song of Life", and I decided to write down the beautiful lyrics... I left a blank for the one word I couldn't figure out... It sounds like "tree"or "dream", but neither of those really fit!

There’s a whisper in the dark
As a new life comes to be
And a song begins to form
As it finds the harmony
With a chorus of sound
Of the world all around
Now it blends in the ___
Joining the endless song of life

Anybody else have a guess?

I think the word is "tune."

Thank you for thoughtful message.
Today, Tokyo is safe and sound . But the parents and staffs of Libera would be worried about the backdrop after the earthquake.
If they change the plans, I can't help that.

[Yorkie]

I don't think Libera will rush in to a decision - they didn't before their tour to the Philippines in October 2010 and things were pretty bad there.

And lets not forget this is Japan who have a reputation for organisation that is second to none. I think it still may happen, as long as Mother Nature has settled down a bit.

#edit# Just seent this mornings news about the explosion at the nuclear power station 170 miles from Tokyo - that does change things. Safety first I'm afraid.

Thanks, so the only two tracks we didn't know about are tracks from previous albums. I guess 'Song for Life' will be heavily downloaded as a single mp3 - not being funny there's only so many copies of the same song you want.

Is the full song uploaded somewhere in web?

yeah, perhaps only die hard Libera fans would purchase this CD/download the songs in its entirety. i'd probably just buy the new song when it comes out. this EMI Japan CD-releasing scheme is getting so predictable and ripping off loyal fans.
it would be a different story if they re-record the old stuffs with new soloists or remixed them/change the instrumentations etc.
still, i'm excited for Song of Life in full version.

anyway, anyone who's seen American film "Baby Mama" would agree that Madonna Verde has the similar theme with it: surrogacy. only, the former is a comedy

[plumpuff6]

I doubt that the small batch of boys will go to Japan to promote .

Any ideas on which boys will be going? Since I've read Ralph is the soloist, of course he'll go, and maybe Mini-James, Kavana, Jakob and Daniel? It seems like those boys have really stepped up publicity-wise lately. Possibly Ben and maybe Alex?

[JimmyRiddle]

I expect Libera will be keeping an eye on developments and will make a late decision. A lot can happen in a month. The aftershocks will hopefully reduce over time.

Will NHK delay the release of 'Madonna Verde' as I'm sure they would like Libera to promote the soundtrack. Unless they shoot a video in the UK or maybe even have a satelite link-up for a performance or something. With today's advanced technology it's not always essential you need to be there in person.

[plumpuff6]

I just listened to the clip of "Song of Life" and fell in love with it! Ralph's voice is absolutely captivating. It has matured very nicely of late, and really come into its own. Hopefully this does not mean that he is at his peak since he's just 12...I would like to hear solos from him for a few years more!

Is there any way that the song will be available for full download once the album is released in Japan????

Confirmation on EMI Japan website that the release of 'Song of Life' has been postponed until after April.

Thanks for the update. It makes perfect sense to postpone it . I wonder if that means we wont get it in the concerts now ( if in the Canada video it was that song) .
