I did not enjoy this video much... apart from the music, of course.
I like to see the boys sing and all, but it does not tell me a story, it does not talk to my imagination. Also, I am more interested in seeing the boys than traditional dancers
But I am absolutely aware that this video is mainly meant for the Asian audience, and so it makes sense that I do not understand much I guess. It is a different culture. And it's great that the boys get exposed to such diversity. I actually loved the way they mentioned it during their Christmas concert. Also, I read some were bothered to see the boys "pray" in a temple. I was not. I think Libera, though originally coming from a christian church, embodies the syncretism of beliefs. And I suspect this is why they are so successful in Asia. They talk a lot about humanity, hopes, death, friendship... It is common place for every humain being on earth. And this is what spirituality is about, whatever the temple or church.
