LUMINOUS - 2023-12-27 (RINA) DHiyEBg

As announced,
2024.03.20 NEW Album
LUMINOUS will be released!

This will be
Our 11th original studio album.
Albums are guideposts
And set the mood for all our activities that year





There's still a little bit of production left to do,
And the four of us are enjoying and cherishing making it

The title "LUMINOUS"
Has meanings such as
Radiant/bright/clear.

For the past few years,
Starting a little before the pandemic,
It was as if the four of us
Had groped our way through the fog,
Holding each others' hands tightly so as not to veer off course.
As we got lost, we pushed our way through,
And, in any case, we struggled and trudged onward.

We were worried about many things,
And there were many times when we couldn't find an answer
To where we were ultimately headed.
Over the course of our 17-year career,
We've aged from middle/high schoolers to now,
And even as a woman, I have come across topics
That I had never considered before.

I don't know if it's right
To just do the same thing over and over again and only move forward,
But there were days when it seemed like a bad idea
To move forward in your life as a person,
Despite the band itself growing.

I think each of us had a variety of feelings
During the production period of this album,
But at all such times,
We faced the band
And honestly and frankly created music
With 100% purity.
At any rate, we felt that creating something with a high level of purity
Was what we needed next.

The result
Is a very pure set of songs.

When the whole picture became clear,
The word "LUMINOUS" came up
When we had a meeting to decide on the title.
That was when all four of us felt it click at the same time,
And there's something about the feeling I had at that moment
That is on a level that words cannot explain.
It always gives me a very mysterious feeling.
We then felt relieved.
It means the vectors of our minds are aligned.

Several days have passed since then,
And as we've been continuing to work on it
And seeing our fans' faces at our concerts,
It's started to feel like
We're getting closer to the light at the end of a long tunnel,
And we've come to believe
That this was the right choice to make,
Whatever place may lie ahead,
And that that place will absolutely be glowing.

That is because
We ourselves are emitting the light.

I feel that touring
In support of this album
Will take us and all you guys
To a new and brighter place.

I see a pattern:

KISS FROM THE DARKNESS --> MIRROR --> LUMINOUS

ie: Dark reflecting to light

lol though you're probably just wanting to connect K-pop to SCANDAL... In that vein: TWICE has a song and Japanese single titled "One More Time" (released in 2017), but obv SCANDAL did not get the idea for their song "one more time" from that. Stuff like that is usually just coincidence.

At this point it's almost impossible to predict what kind of album they'll bring. I read this as a distinctive collection of songs from a band reinvigorated by touring again, celebrating a year of meaningful achievements.

Line of Sight, Vision, Highlight and CANDY show us their usual versatility for what's to come.
