A new video was recorded today Monday 28th in Japan.

A few seconds of the making off have been posted on tiktok, without sound.

Any guess about the concerned song ? :)

The filming location seems to be the Numabukuro Hikawa Shrine in Nakano

Always There I am going to guess as it would make sense. I am probably barking up the wrong tree though.

Difficult to guess...

From the new album and with a connection to Japan, I see 'Always There' with Morgan as soloist, and also 'Once' with Thomas M as soloist.
No specific soloist position is visible on the short snipset.

No you must be right. I already bet on them filming this one when in Japan. Also the song requires none of the older boys who did not make it to Japan. Always There fits.
Otherwise a song without soloist at all ? Veni Sancte ?

It's complicated... :|

Always There would make sence, but we know the soloist is Morgan. From what we can see he is not in central position in the group and not even present at times.

On Veni Sancte, we were told it's going to be a very lively song on stage, something that libera has never done before. We have no clue what this is about (I can't wait for tomorrow's concert!) but we can guess a lively song has lot of moves. It does not seem to match exactly with the peaceful athmosphere of a Shrine...

Wouldn't that make the "Always There" song more likely then? If Morgan's off camera for group shots then it means he must be in different solo shots? I know they often include the soloist in group shots as they did in "Sea Bird" but the videographer might have different ideas for this particular song. Just a thought.

I was thinking the same thing. Especially as the chorus is 'Always there, at your side'. Morgan could be alone singing and then the choir come in to reassure him that his friends are always there?

And in Sea Bird in group shots Luca is in the back row not front and centre so it could be the same when Morgan's in the group shots here?

I'm thinking it could be "Once" because the main melody seems influenced by traditional Japanese music. That might fit better with such an overtly Japanese-themed video. I don't know anything about Shintoism, so I can't really determine if the lyrics are relevant to that.

It should be Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, based off of the sign at the front of the shrine. Actually I take that back, Patrick's shrine also has the japanese words "Hikawa" in them, so his is more likely

I think we're onto something here :wink: :D
