Super clear, pretty and precise stuff here to go with the lovely transitions and pentatonic mastery:

Not super complex or anything. But there's a nice shimmery sort of a vibe to this arrangement, if that makes sense.

Star One and Arjen Anthony Lucassen's projects in general are known for having fantastic vocal harmonies, but this definitely has to be one of his greatest compositional moments for them ever, as well as a basically perfect performance from the vocalists singing them.

I'm especially a massive sucker for that last minute or so when most of the instruments make a sharp cut away, and it's just the vocalists singing, the keyboardist keeping the backing chords, and the audience clapping along in rhythm. And then a bit later the keyboards cut out as well, so it's literally just the vocalists singing in naked harmony to the beat that the audience is keeping. Honestly one of the most incredible moments of musical intimacy between performers and an audience that I've ever heard, and I can only imagine how otherworldly it must've been to be at this concert and experience it in person.

Had never notewatched an album with twin singing, it's very fun to listen to, but not very fun to notewatch.

1:14 onwards. I love what they do in that part of the song, it's basically them taking turns singing that phrase, first Yurie, then Kaoru, then Yurie again to close it. The rest of the song has very lovely harmonies as well.

Nothing crazy but I always thought Nilssons Harmonies here are absolutely beautiful.
