The playfulness first seen in the Tours Beside photos

The new photos of TO US immediately reveal a playful atmosphere. So, even before seeing the description that it is a "Beside" version of TO US, I wondered if they might be showing a slightly different side this time. I like how the members blend naturally within the scene, and my gaze lingers on a different person in each photo.

I heard that the official photos and concept film were released on October 20th. They are also introducing the new single in four versions: Closer, Beyond, Everglow, and now Beside. It is nice to be able to experience the same album in various moods in advance.

Concept photos, in particular, often determine the first impression you get before listening to a song. However, when the actual song is released, a completely different scene can come to mind compared to when I saw the photo. So this time, I want to remember the impression I feel right now and look at the photo again after the music is released.

Also, the tracklist is scheduled to be released on October 23rd, and a highlight medley on the 26th. The new album and the music video for the title track will be available on November 2nd at 6 PM. So, for now, it feels like a time to look at small clues one by one while waiting for the finished music.

Above all, I like the lighthearted expressions visible in the photos. So this time, rather than attaching grand interpretations, I am simply enjoying the relaxed atmosphere among the members. I am also naturally curious to see which of the four versions is closest to the actual stage.
