- They reveal all of the new album song titles. They try to describe to everyone what their new songs are like without giving away too many hints (genre, tempo, songs that feel like they are similar other H!P groups, gestures)
- Limited Edition comes with a bonus Blu-ray and includes a new Tsubaki Factory Photobook featuring their jacket photoshoot with these beautiful outfits. The making includes the jacket photoshoot (the one from the twitter video). They reveal the Photobook cover accidently and then it was not accident. They haven't seen the finished photos themselves yet, so they were scrolling through it without trying to show everyone.

Yamagishi said about this album, "It's been about two and a half years since our last album, so I think you can feel that many of the members have turned 20 and we have grown up a little. Among the new songs, we are trying our hand at a ballad called "Hikari no Curtain". We haven't had a ballad song before, so I can't wait for everyone to hear it, and it's one of my favorites. The first limited edition A comes with a large visual book as a bonus. We're looking forward to seeing the finished product. We're looking forward to it and hope you'll get it too.

Woah.

The new songs have to have been recorded post-Risa, right?

I wonder if the initial intent was to release this earlier.

I'm actually a little shocked there's a second album!

^there are the main singles shes in but apparently on the album she’s uncredited, so it’s likely the new songs are post-Risa.
I’m excited for this!!! It’s been a while since their first album.
And I LOVE the outfits the girls are wearing, though it’s probably not likely we’ll see them perform in them they are still really pretty. Ami’s outfit especially!!

I'm hoping they perform in them at Hina Fes. I agree it doesn't seem super likely, but I would love it.

I'm just so excited for this album! I stayed up for the announcement and wasn't disappointed. It's lovely that we're getting someone as 8-nin Tsubaki. Before new member(s) join or anything

I'd have been fine with non-white clothes anyway, but the vibrancy of these outfits makes me so happy. :lol: I really like Kisora's blazer.
Most of the profile pics make me think of DMV or student ID photos, and then there's Kishimon and Mao. XD
