"I Am the Day - The Best of Libera" CD

[Lauren]

HMV Japan is showing a new Libera CD being released in Japan on March 26, 2014. It's called "I Am the Day - The Best of Libera." It sounds like a compilation album, but I hope it includes something new like "Voca Me." I'm posting the English-language link.

This release probably is what the title suggests - a "best of" compilation, but if there is any new material on the CD (and I myself probably would not expect there to be any), it may be at best a "taster" preview of things to come, or perhaps only an "extra" for the Japanese market. It seems to me that there have been many "best of Libera" releases in Japan, not surprising considering the group's popularity there. We can only wait to see what 2014 brings for Libera and their supporters. I wish everyone on the forum as well a great year.

I really. really hope that this is not the expected album and is just a wheeze for the Japanese market.

The content of the new Japanese "Best Off" CD was published yesterday on the Warned Music Japan site.
Without any surprise we already know all of the tracks

01 : I Am The Day
02 : Orinoco Flow
03 : Salva Me
04 : Sanctus
05 : Adoramus
06 : Do not stand at my grave and weep
07 : Air on the G string
08 : Gloria
09 : I Vow to Thee My Country
10 : Ave Maria
11 : Libera
12 : Always With You
13 : Be Still My Soul
14 : Stay With Me
15 : Going Home
16 : I Am The Day (it's said "ニュー・ヴァージョン", meaning "New version")

The "New version" just states it's a different version from track 01.
According to Yuki, track 01 is taken from the "Free" album, while track 16 comes from the "Angel Voices" album.


The only new thing we may discover with this best-off will be the cover, which is still not revealed yet
