Singapore Concert Video






Oh my word!! What a great way to cheer up any fans world wide. Today Libera and Libera (Singapore) FB page has uploaded a video promo for the upcoming concert in Singapore which is on the 6th and 7th of April. And guess what? For those who are going (including myself), after the concert, there will be Meet and Greet sessions!!! Yahoo!!! Finally I can get their autographs and meet the boys in person. I hope they let us take photos and videos of the session. This is going to be a one fantastic concert experience for me and other new fans. 
From the video, we can see scenes from Manila concert, M&G sessions and part of their USA concert last year. It's great to see new scenes in every video promo for concerts. You can see yourselves in the video if you went to the M&G session in Manila. Can you spot yourself? :)






*Update (31 January): Today Libera uploaded a new video. The same like yesterday's one but with different scenes and it's longer. This time it has scenes from their USA and Philippines tour last year such as the beach, Science museum (Jude as an astronaut will give you a hint), tinkling dance etc. You can have a look at their Gallery page for a hint ;). Thanks to Libera (Singapore) FB page for the update.

Don't you think Ralph's smile is so cute :)?



Issac with a solo? That's cool :). Who knows maybe he'll do one for Singapore concert. Can't wait for that. 
I think this is one of their concert rehearsals cause I can see some of the boys sitting down.



The boys at the playground.




Libera having lunch at Cracker Barrels. I bet they love those rocking chairs, especially Kavana :).

Spring Tour Update

Libera has update something onto their website about their Spring Tour this April, especially Singapore:


Arrangements for our Spring tour are going well.  We have just heard that our Singapore concerts have been accepted onto the National Arts Council Arts Education Programme.  This is fantastic news because it means that Schools can reclaim a significant part of the cost of tickets back from the National Arts Council.  


Wow! I would like to say congratulations on accepting into the National Arts Council Arts Education Programme. Looks like this is gonna be one fantastic concert this April. Happy to hear that.

Year Of The Dragon

It's Chinese New Year once again, my friends. Yes, it's the eve tomorrow so it should be a happy time for all of us to celebrate with family and friends such as playing firecrackers, getting red packets with money inside, eating lots of yummy treats etc. We celebrate CNY with different zodiac in order of the animal that comes after that particular animal every year. Last year is the year of the rabbit. So this year is the year of the dragon. Btw, you can find the list of members born on which zodiac here. Libera have members who are born in the year of the dragon. The ones in the wallpaper are Matthew J and Freddie, although he's no longer in the group but I like to put him there as an honor. Another former member also born in the same zodiac is Sam Coates.








Have a very happy CNY, everyone :). 恭喜发财 

"Libera The Journey" Book







Libera has always come up with new albums every year. Well, this year, we are having another surprise, besides the released of a new album coming in March. Adrian, an admin of Libera Fans UK, has posted a photo of a book called "Libera The Journey". It'll be coming out on sale in February or the beginning of March. Will let you know when it's officially out. It's a book about the story of Libera, mainly it's something like an autobiography from 1970's till 2011 with words and pictures. Oh boy! I can't wait for it to be released. I can imagine the book with autographs on it :). 
Take note that this is not the actual cover of the book. It's just a notice by Adrian. 

The Loose Moose Show Outtakes







Now that you have watch the whole video of The Loose Moose, it's time to take a look at their outtakes of their show. It has just been released today on their FB update. I'm pretty sure when actors and actresses do a filming, there has got to be behind-the-scenes and making of that movie, even for pop stars doing a music video. In this video, it features them doing the sketches from the show and you'll see some bloopers and laughter going on. He he. We knew they were gonna show us some bloopers ;). Thanks a lot, you guys. Do more videos, please?

New CD on March

What's this?! Libera's new album will be out soon on March 14!! Thank you, Kazuyo, for the info. This is awesome :D!! Hope there'll be new songs. You can click here for more info from Tower Records Japan. No picture of the new album yet. Will update it when it's released.


*Update (23rd Jan): There's a new description about the concert in Japan called "Japan Concert Commemorative Edition". Thank you, Lexi and Yuki, for the info. You can click here to have a look at the site. According from the site, the description says: "Greatest hits album release from Libera commemorating her concert in Japan in April 2011." It also will come with special features, bonus tracks, and many more. The reason why they said April 2011 is because Libera wanted to promote the CD there last year but postponed to this April due to the earthquake and tsunami. Well, we can't wait for the booklet and cover. 


*Update (18th Feb): A fan named Shii from Japan has posted a picture of the CD cover for the new album. Thank you :). It looks like the same pics for the Christmas album. You can also buy the album here.




Classic FM Hall of Fame 2012





Here we have a video of Kavana, Cassius and Barney voting for an artist in 2012. Last year, Ralph, Kavana and Cassius chose Camille Saint-Seans, the one who compose the song "Gloria" which you could see here. This time they chose Canon - Pachelbel. Does this name rings a bell to you? If yes, it's the one with the arrangement of the beautiful song "Sanctus". You can click here to look at the ranking poll of famous composers. The background looks the same from the interview last year in December here. Thanks to Jimmy Riddle who shared to us this link to Vimeo.








The Loose Moose Show

Well, here is something new to us fans and will always be remembered of. 5 boys of Libera (Sam, Josh, Liam, Jonathan and Alex) put together a comedy show called "The Loose Moose Show". It features of their funny sketches. Thanks to Sam who tweeted the link to us. This is the first episode of the show, so I hope you guys like it. You know, this brings back memories during my high school years where some of our seniors put together a comedy drama also. Below are some screencaps from the video. Credit goes to Inna and their FB page which you could like here. Get their latest updates. 


The Loose Moose Show by TheLooseMooseShow



The first sketch shows Jonathan carrying money in his hands and a thief comes and robbed him. And he shoots a person too (not sure who is it). Can anyone guess who is the thief? Josh Madine of course :). It was revealed in the next scene (still in the first sketch). Josh visited Jonathan and tries to return the wallet to him. But Jonathan presumes that he stole it and chases him with a golf club. How nice. If I were him, I would do that too. Ha ha!! This is the first time I heard a person chasing a thief with a golf club. 








The second sketch shows Alex feeling very bored of studying and puts on some music. Love the way he plays the guitar float. It's like he's performing in a rock concert. When Sam comes in, Alex immediately stops the music and continues studying, acting as if he is working very hard. Lol!










Now we have a short sketch of "Love You". Liam is selling a car to Sam. Yes, in case you don't know this, in the UK, teens who reached 17 can drive legally. So that means Sam and Josh can drive. Back to the sketch, Sam blurted out "Love You" and Liam was giving the "I beg your pardon?" look on his face. OMG! I wouldn't want to say "I love you" to a person whom I don't love, except for my parents and my future boyfriend (if I ever had one).










The 3rd sketch is called 'Dr Who'. I have never watch the real show before so therefore I didn't understand what they were talking about or even know the sequence. I'll just skip that part. Hope you don't mind, guys.








Next we have another short sketch of "You Wouldn't". It features various ways on what you wouldn't do to your enemies in real life. Throughout the sketch shows Liam and either Sam or Josh (sorry, I couldn't see properly) except for the last part where Josh downloads illegal movies and getting shot by Jonathan. I wonder who narrates this sketch. Could it be Liam? Hee hee. You know, what he said about downloading movies is true. It really is a crime. Even buying pirated CDs or DVDs. They always advertise this notice here in Malaysia because here we sell a lot of pirated movies or music CDs in wet markets. And police will come and check.





Okay, I'd say enough. Back to the sketch. We have another "Love You" sketch by Josh and Jonathan. I'm getting a bit freaked out very soon. Why they keep saying "Love you" at the end?




The 4th sketch shows Liam played as Dr Jones visiting Mrs Smith (played by Josh) and telling her about the news of her husband, Mr Albert Smith. What amazes me is when Liam pulls out a teapot from under his jacket and two cups from under his hat. Is this some kind of magic trick he's doing? Anyways, after telling everything, Dr Jones later reveals that he prank Mrs Smith. And getting slapped in the end. Poor Liam. This is what happens if you pull a prank which is related to family news. But be careful. Some pranks can come true and it won't be that funny anymore. Trust me. From this sketch, Josh playing the role of Mrs Smith reminds me of Kevin from U Kiss mimicking a female role in variety shows and Pops in Seoul. Ha ha ha ha!! It's a good thing Josh didn't portray as Jessica from Girls' Generation (SNSD). 







Another sketch of "Love You" by Sam and Jonathan. 




The 5th sketch is an award show hosted by Jonathan. The best three nominees of the Most Anticlimax Film Ever are: The Fifth Sense, Norbury Toothpick Massacre and Normal Activity. I love the scene where Alex becomes the pizza delivery boy and spooks out the three people in the films. You should not missed it, guys. 










The 6th sketch features Sam announcing an Emergency Broadcast. Love the Indian accent. I pity Alex all wrapped up like an Egyptian mummy. Well, at least Liam and Josh are safe.






The last "Love You" sketch by Josh and Alex.




The 7th sketch shows Alex annoying Josh while playing on his laptop. Ooh. An Apple brand laptop? Cool! I wonder what Josh is checking on the laptop. Poor Santa got kicked by Josh in the end.








The final sketch shows Josh holding up a 'Gateway to Narnia' sign. It's something like a person trying to con an ordinary simple bloke on the street, trying to get money. In this sketch, Josh cons Liam to enter the gateway to Narnia, in which Liam as the simple bloke thinks it's the actual one. You should hear his British accent. It sounds so cool when he said "Brilliant!" It sounds like Liam got tricked after seeing Jonathan in whiskers. I wonder if he got his money back. Lol. Never mind, Liam. Maybe you could enter Narnia in your dreams. So a little reminder, guys. Don't be very blur when someone cons you for something you desire the most, even for one small favor. You don't wanna end up looking like a fool. 








Well, that's all about the show. If you haven't watch it yet, please do so. You'll like it. Break a leg, guys. Hope you do more shows. Fighting!
