Rakuten says it'll have "Bonus Track(s)" - http://item.rakuten.co.jp/guruguru2/tocp-90006/
(Thanks for the link, Lauren :wink: )

So, there might be a possibility of coming a new one??? Like Peace deluxe - Lullabye & Eternal Light...8)
Fingers crossed!

The cover is really nice :D


But i wont get my hopes up for new material as i am positive they would of mention recording a new album. But i will hope for 1 new song or 2 as that takes a lot less time to do than record 30 tracks to narrow it down to 12 on a album (roughly)

Not only for the reason that november the 7th is pretty soon but also for the reason that I don't think they would release a whole new album only for the Japanese market. And maybe later for the rest of the world but I don't think so.
I agree it could be one or two new songs, I hope.

The tracks for one CD are now published on several sites : Tower Records, HMV Japan, Billboard Japan.


Tower and Billboard are still displaying "Number of Discs : 2", but HMV says "Number of Discs : 1".
Why only one CD tracks list ? strange...
Based on the price (¥2800), it's too high for a single CD. So the second CD might be a VCD, or DVD (?)


Anyway, here the published list for CD :) (Thanks to Yuki for the translation :) )
01. Song of Life
02. You Were There
03. Salva Me
04. Deep Peace
05. Voca me
06. Adoro Te
07. Ave Virgo
08. I Am The Day
09. How Shall I Sing That Majesty
10. Abide With Me
11. I Vow To Thee
12. Waltz of the Snowflakes (Chorus) - from "The Nutcracker"
13. La Califfa (Chorus) - by Ennio Morricone

For the Califfa, it's from a 1970's movie with Ennio Morricone's music.
It's here played on Saxophone by Yasuto Tanaka and Libera do some chorus on it.
Thanks to Yuki, we can hear an excerpt of it on the Japanese Itune site, it's the track #16 : http://itunes.apple.com/jp/album/moriko ... d498785860

Jimmy also has published an excerpt on SoundCould, a few month ago : http://soundcloud.com/jimmyriddle-1/la- ... uto-tanaka

So to make money they are now putting songs on albums where they are only on the chorus ??

This is a libera album not " featuring Libera"!!

They really do need new management if this is how they want to market them . Can they not wait 6-8 months and wait for a new album ?

I wonder what R Prizeman think as this would not be his doing and would just be about the album quota they must of signed.

If Voca me isn't a new version they will be pulling that from the Free album released over 8 years ago. :? Strange that 'Ave Maria' is not on the tracklist yet this is the albums lead title - unless as FDL mentions there could be another CD with some extra stuff on it. I'd buy the last two tracks if they became available as downloads.

Does feel a bit like a mid-term shuffle - hopefully 2013 will be the year we can all get excited again with (fingers crossed) a new CD/DVD.

Amazon Japan has now updated their "Ave Maria" page but nothing new.

They are still saying "discs : 2" while giving tracks for one disc only.... :?

Some sites such as Billboard-Japan and Tower Records are giving new details. With a translator it reads,

"Japanese edition of the album with the theme by Rivera, a religious and sacred for the Christmas season. In addition to the United States Track board, such as adding a "Sing the Story" is familiar to Japanese popular songs, and "Ave Maria" of Caccini "Aria of line G". Unreleased CD songs were played and "Waltz of the Snow" from "The Nutcracker", and saxophone Yasuto Tanaka et al.: "Morricone La Khalifa", recorded bonus tracks."

I'm guessing that means that CD#2 will include "Sing the Story", "Ave Maria" and "Air on the G String." The bonus tracks are "Waltz of the Snowflakes" and "La Khalifa."

Yuki and FDL mentioned this on twitter a few days ago, but I'm adding it here. :D

04.Ave Verum
05.Gloria
06.Panis Angelicus
07.Ave Maria (Caccini)
08.Air
09.Sing the Story

and 2 or 3 more songs (?)

The cover is faithful to the content, with photos fitting song from the recent "Angel Voices 2012" and a photo from the "New Dawn" shooting :)

That's the first time I've seen different eras of Libera together in one official picture. Kinda weird looking to be honest, but maybe I'm just too much of a crazy fan who recognizes all the differences :lol:

Hm, I find the cover pretty cheesy - too much 'Hello Kitty' for me. :oops:

Thank God, I thought it was just me :shock: Perhaps it reflects on the tastes of the Japanese rather than Europeans???
