Posters for N. Ireland Concerts

Super sorry for the long hiatus. I know I'm suppose to write a post about the posters for the two Northern Ireland concerts earlier but oh well. Blame my work :P. Anyways, here they are. They look so colorful, especially the pic of Cassius. 

"Ave Maria" Japan CD

Update (Oct 5: 6:41 pm): The album cover for Ave Maria is out now. Love the combination of the pictures from The Christmas album 2011 and New Dawn album 2007. Happy to see Liam there, hehe, even though that picture is old and he was young at that time. Some tracks for Disc 2 is out. It might not be in order but it will be included.

There will be 2 or 3 new songs included in the album, according to Yuki's blog. I wonder what could they be :).

Update (Sept 23: 3:19 pm): The track list is released now for Disc 1. No track list for Disc 2 and no cover yet but be patient, guys. More to come soon ;). I heard Waltz of the Snowflakes before as I got the CD. See here for my CD pics. But I haven't heard the last song yet. It's probably the one Jimmy Riddle post the link on Twitter on April during Libera's Spring tour.

Libera Concerts in Northern Ireland

After our long wait for an autumn tour announcement, Libera has finally posted their autumn tour:-

We are delighted to announce that we will be visiting Northern Ireland at the beginning of November to perform concerts in St Patrick's Catholic Cathedral, Armagh and St Peter's Cathedral, Belfast.  Tickets will go on sale through Ticketweb at 1400 on Monday 17th September.

We were all expecting the Philippines this October but I guess they want to have the concerts near their home. Usually they will announce them in August but they were quiet throughout that month. Sorry for the fans who were hoping for a concert in the Philippines. Maybe next year :). 
Will post about the venue and time later.

Libera in Japan 2005 - 2007

Today, we always look at the older members as it is now. And sometimes we tend to forget how they look like in their younger days when they were in Libera for the past few years. For now, it's time go back through time and look back at how young our beloved (and favorite) former and current members were in 2005 till 2007. Back in 2008, EMI Classics has published  a special photobook of Libera's trips in Japan from 2005 till 2007. Patrick has bought this book from Japan and scan all the pictures from the book to share them with us. How thoughtful of him :). Merci. We appreciate your hard work on scanning these lovely pictures. They were all so cute, baby-face and angelic back then. And there are some new pics that I've not seen before. 

2005 April: Yokohama:-

2005 October: Tokyo, Yokohama and Asakusa:- 

2006 February, Tokyo:-

2007 April, Tokyo and Narita :-

Even though they are all grown-up as handsome teenage/adult young men and went on to further their music careers, we will always remember them as angelic little boys. 

Channel Islands Tour 2012 Pictures

Well, I guess my answer is yes after all. Libera did put up their pics from their summer tour at Channel Islands. All the photos from the gallery are same from their blogs, except the one above. I could see 4 boys (Michael U-R, Ciaran, and two boys) on a motorboat. Does anyone knows who's driving the boat? He seems to be wearing a black hoodie. You can go to their site here for more pictures, in case you missed some or didn't read their blogs.

Venus in Eros Movie Trailer

Remember this movie starring 7 members from Libera? The movie trailer is out now :D!! Thank you, Jimmy Riddle, for the news and link. This was filmed last year, because as you can see that some of the current boys now still looked young back then. Even former members, Mini James and Freddie were there. According to Yuki, she said that the director of this movie (and translator for Libera's Japan tours), Takako Imai, was gonna be shown in Japan in April but it didn't happen due to some problems. Good news for everyone! The movie will be released on 20th October 2012. Hooray for all Japanese fans. Hope it'll be shown in your countries soon. And thank you, Yuki, for telling us this wonderful news :).

Libera's Blog: Jersey and Guernsey pt 2

Just check my Twitter this morning and I saw that Libera posted part 2 of their blog. This time talking about their trip to Guernsey. For those who haven't read the blog, click here. This looks like an interesting blog. It has more photos and lots of activities they do there, besides the concert alone. He he! Well, they always have free time on tours, do they? :) Anyhow, I just want to say something about this sentence:-

"After checking in, we explored the field, playing a huge game of hide and seek and 40-40 home."

I heard of hide-and-seek before but I never heard of 40-40 home. Does anyone heard of this game before? 
The rest you gotta read from the blog. Happy reading :).

Cutie Michael U-R playing hide-and-seek in the fields. He he! Love his "shhh" sign.

The boys playing chess (again). Who's winning now?

St James concert.

The boys enjoying the inflatable gladiator things. At least that's what they called. Love Matt M here. 

Jude the Archer. Go, Jude :D!!

Playing football. Guess which team won? Kavana's team :D!! *audience clapping*

More free time I presume. Sounds like fun. 

That's all about their summer tour reviews at Channel Islands. I hope they had a fun time there. And also to the fans who went for their concerts. One last question: Will there be official photos from this tour? 

More Photos From Jersey and Guernsey

Martin, a Libera fan from Germany, has been to all the 4 concerts in Channel Islands, mainly Jersey and Guernsey. He has also bring back some photos from the concerts and they are quite excellent and good too. Thank you, Martin, for your lovely photos. I hope you don't mind if I post them to my blog. If you want to share them to any of your sites, please credit him.
