"As We Are" starts off with Seungmin under a streetlight (Changbin-coded??) and he's positioned to look like he's inside the giant full moon.

With the lighting in that first section, it's hard to tell what colour the moon is supposed to be. There's blue lighting all around, but the moon itself might be slightly red-tinged.

After the streetlight goes away, the background graphic changes to something that is much more like a blue moon on a red background.

I've watched the Karma trailer a few times and scrolled through endless gifs on Tumblr already and I am pleased.

Delightfully Aussie bit at the end with #BangChan's "hip hip"

(I've heard that when one person says "hip hip" and everyone responds with "hooray" it's an Aussie thing that can mystify non-Aussies. I genuinely have no idea if this is true.)

The #skzRed and #skzBlue is subtle this time but jumps out at me because I'm looking for it, I guess. The main thing is how integrated the two colours are now. No longer mostly-red or mostly-blue. Instead there's an even mix of both. Like they've found a balance.

After acquiring some of the Japanese #skz releases, I looked at my shelf of skz albums and realised that I had at least one version of all the main Korean releases except for #InLife and #Oddinary.

Um.

I now have at least one version of all skz's main Korean releases.

Oddinary is available in blue and red versions. Kinda want to get the red version because it feels incomplete to have only the blue.

(argh I am such a sucker for this stuff)

Listening to "Railway" again and noticed the line "we're staring at the ticket that says one trip."

It made me think of the bit in #Levanter where #BangChan, #Seungmin and #Han are in the elevator, Seungmin is holding the ticket "to new world," and the other two are looking at it.

So I had to go back to "Levanter" MV to check it out again. It is a one-way ticket. (Okay not exactly the same as one-trip but close enough.)

Is the "Railway" bit intended to be a subtle call-back to the "Levanter" elevator scene?

Contrasting trudging up the stairs on his own, versus taking the elevator (even if it's a shitty and dangerous elevator) with other members of the skz blue team.

Bang Chan does like to put subtle references and hints into his work, and doesn't like to explain them. I guess sometimes the references are deliberate?? And other times it's just coincidence.

Before you continue to YouTube

HEY

They're doing the red/blue thing in this #Levanter dance practice video.

They all have at least one blue thing and at least one red thing on them, except maybe for #BangChan and #Hyunjin ?? I can only see blue on them.

#Felix gets to have his #BlueCake and it's not getting rained on and he's not sad any more and everyone else gets to have some

#Seungmin's lines in the pre-chorus remind me of his birthday #SongBy from last year ... now I have to look that up too.

oh dear

Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again, oh no
