Libera Dreams

Lot of photos have been posted on socials for the signature session, and so far just one for the performance.
Hopefully a video will emerge soon.


Reading the tweets it appears Libera performed 3 songs :

• Far Away
   
• For the Future
  We know the soloists, thanks to Yumiko-san: "Morgan started a 1st verse.then followed by Joseph.Luca and Mitchel"
   
• From a Distance
  This one was unexpected.
  It was last performed 4 years ago, by Victor, at the 2019 Japan tour.
  Yumiko-san says:
  "Beautiful backing harmonies could be heard on "From a distance" collaborated with Niizuma Seiko, musical actress.
  Audiences gave them "Huge applause" at the end"

 
  
Two tweets among all:

Thank you fan_de_LoK for these updates and links!

There's so much information floating around. Twitter's new algorithms governing the way the feed is presented means I have had to work much harder to see everything being posted there about this event. So your marking the highlights here is very helpful!

That’s Josh conducting there, isn’t it? I know Steven G was doing that job solidly up ‘til as recently as Libera’s Christmas concert, but he didn’t travel with them to Korea, and again it seems he’s not with them in Japan.
I know I’ll get told off for speculating, but I can’t help but be a little curious as to whether or not he’s still with Libera, maybe taking a break, or just not traveling abroad with them.

Another tweet showing Josh leading a rehearsal. I love Steven, but I'm also happy to see Liam and Josh get this valuable experience.

I, personaly, cannot say for sure that Joseph was disappointed by his solo (which was good), nor that Mitchell looked surprised. I think we should be careful not to say who felt what when we cannot be sure... there is nothing obvious here.

It was an outstanding performance of Luca, I believe

Missed this post before. You're absolutely right, we need to be careful interpreting. I should have said that IF Joseph WAS disappointed with his solo then I'm sad as I think he was great. And if he wasn't disappointed so much the better! And yes, Luca was excellent.


Hope all went well for them today. Sounds like it did. Surprised they didn't song Kizuna having done it on television and instead brought back For the Future with new soloists who might have had to learn the Japanese quickly. They could have done pretty much any song from Forever as I think the group out there contains all the album soloists? So quite surprised that they did two that weren't though From a Distance being a collaboration explains that one I guess.

Don't know the story.
Seems to be a café or a restaurant

Libera has been posting a "Japan Diary" in parts across their social media.

Here are Parts 1 through 3

Part 4

Part 5.

Thank you for sharing these. Looks like they had a brilliant time even if they were very busy. I wonder what the film is that they were recording for in Part 4?

I'm sure it'll come to light soon, either from Libera itself, Libera-Records, or from Takatsugu Muramatsu.

Of course the meaning of the word "soon" could mean in like a year on Libera timescales.

Yes! Still as you say I'm sure it'll be revealed eventually.

As usual, IMD has the answer.
