Hold hands
When we get star night
Come lie down close to me
And you're dreaming
And I'll kiss (Your) cheek
And we will smile
Now we're satisfied
Hold hands
When chilly air stroke us
Talk about the future together
And you're dreaming
And I'll kiss (Your) cheek
And we will smile
No need to talk
I wish I could
I wish I could do it
I wish it
Dreaming as starry sky
Put my hands in my pockets
And I realize
I can't reach it
(You) drive me crazy
Nothing... but memories
Hold hands
When we get star night
Come lie down close to me
And I realize
I can't reach it
And I realize
(You) drive me crazy
Let it all go

This is the 4th album released for the first time in 11 years, since the 3rd album "syvyys" released in 2011. In a fantastic world of sounds woven by nostalgic piano melody and wall of sound which is meticulously constructed by Makoto Gomi's heavy and uplifting fuzz guitar, new vocalist Shoko Inoue's innocent whispered voice speaks fleetingly. Starting with the intro of "phantásien", which looks like a clear sky spreading out in front of you after came out of the cumulonimbus cloud, "the starry night", which accelerates a sense of speed continuously, after then, starting with the trebly feedback that resounds like a warning bell which cuts through the space-time, "only time will tell...". The highly immersive flow draws you into sphere's new world view from the beginning. Silence and roaring sounds that change like the unstable and violently changing atmosphere, and a sense of speed and loss create multitude of imaginary landscapes mixed with yearning and nostalgia. Sometimes it gives anxiety, sometimes it gives hope, seeking light and freedom, embracing hope in the beauty of the world while feeling the end instinctively , and eventually falling asleep as if praying. It is finished with 10 gem songs that take you on a journey through the girl's ambivalent deep psychology. While following the approach of the previous work, which was devoted to the alternative, shoegaze, and progressive music of the 80's and 90's, the original lyrical soundscape has been further refined and deepened. This is a must-listen album for shoegaze fans, setting a new milestone in the shoegaze scene with this work that mixes nostalgia and newness.
