The show of the day is As We Are with 8 characters and a show score of 80.90

#Seungmin performing #AsWeAre in front of a background reminiscent of a blue moon.

I wasn't looking for blue and red moon imagery when I first saw these performances, and didn't pick up on it at the time.

Makes it even sweeter that #Changbin swapped it out with a red moon when they did the solo swaps.

Wide shot of Seungmin sitting on the edge of a stage set object, playing a guitar. Behind him is a giant red circle reminiscent of a moon, surrounded by a red-tinged sky

I keep getting distracted from the reason I started to post about this in the first place, which is:

This part of the #AsWeAre video

:youtube: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxMJ_BogM3iDHc4-JcRDYEMvZnwVq-32GJ

In which #Seungmin pitches a baseball to himself, catches it, then turns to stare through the window at the giant blue full moon, while tossing the baseball up in his hand and looking thoughtful.

#skzBlueMoon #skzBlue #skz

Dimly lit Seungmin in front of a window at night, holding a baseball. Behind him is a giant blue moon

I guess other fans figured this one out long ago, but

When I first watched the video for #Seungmin's #AsWeAre, I couldn't read Korean characters. Now I can!

#Seungmin during filming of #AsWeAre MV, posted on his Instagram.

"Anyway, class 8 will win!!" is written on the blackboard.

He's looking at the cat within the faded heart outline. There's another critter on the blackboard that might also be a cat. #2Min ??

There's also a guitar and something that might be a trophy shaped like a baseball mitt?? The writing on the base of the trophy is very hard to make out. Might be 우 승 (win)?

... Oh the trophy has the two 4-pointed star sparkles around it! Like the graphic for Cinema and the shirt that Seungmin wore last year and a few other times I've seen it in association with Seungmin. #skzKiraKira

❤️🐱🎸⚾

#skz

Seungmin stands in a classroom, looking sideways at a blackboard behind him. A guitar and a couple of cats(?) are drawn on the blackboard. "Anyway, class 8 will win!!" is written in Korean

4th #skzRedMoon is during Voices ... Or is it?? Because I see both red and blue moons here.

So maybe there was still one more red moon that I missed??

#skzRed team is:

- #Changbin (who has #AsWeAre as his red moon song)
- #Hyunjin (Cover Me)
- #Felix (maybe #IAmYou?? I had a theory a while back that this song was a message from Bang Chan to Felix, but then I dropped that theory. now it's reviving itself.)
- #I_N (maybe Voices ?? But I think maybe Voices is for both red and blue teams. also I don't particularly associate Voices with I.N. hmm maybe there was yet another red moon song earlier that I missed)

#skz5Clock #skzVoices #skzCoverMe #skz

Oh! 3rd #skzRedMoon is behind #Changbin during his cover of #AsWeAre

Also it is so lovely and I need a proper recording of the audio

#skzRed #skz5Clock #skz

#skz5Clock things I want to remember ...

- Seo #Changbin #FlaggingBlackRight (heavy SM bottom) hell yes more fodder for the Solo-Swap-Is-Really-a-Top/Bottom-Swap theory (as posited on @ChickenRPF) - #skzHankyCode #skzSoloSwaps

- #LeeKnow, #BangChan and #Seungmin carrying their #skzoo s in baby carriers on their backs during the final act

- #PuppyM trying to pick a fight with Changbin as his last action before leaving the stage (he wants some of that #minhandling, apparently)

- Ahhhh Changbin's #AsWeAre was so damn good, I need to find the lyrics for his rap, but also his singing was heavenly

- Lots of #skzRedMoon imagery for #skzRed team, maybe to make up for how they dropped the ball on the solo MVs?? (because #skzBlue team all featured the blue moon (or blue cake) in their solo MVs). I know for sure there were red moons in Cover Me and Voices, and I *think* maybe in #IAmYou as well? There should have been at least one more red-moon song (one for each member of the red team). I suspect that there *was* one more and I missed it.

- No #HoldMyHand because #Felix wasn't there

- Felix's surprise voice message towards the end 🥲

#skzLore #skzCoverMe #skzVoices

Musicians effortlessly go into their music. Years of passion & practice, It is second nature. As we continue to work on our best self, we continue to default to our better self until it's no longer a question. Then it is us & we are it.

Ahahaha only a little surprised the bathtub scene was I.N.'s least fave to shoot, sounds like. To be fair, that outfit in a sorta bubble bath didn't look comfy, and then they float ink drawings on it?? Grubby is so valid. 😆😆

Overall tho it looks like he had such a good time with it, tho he says it was so weird and new to do. Which is also valid, bc I'm not sure they went into touring on ATE thinking we'd go SO feral for their solos that they'd have to wedge in studio time on 'em while actively touring. (Or it was already planned and the feralness just jacked the timeline. Idk. I mostly only care bc I genuinely worry about how much sleep they get... as in when do they???)

Also, the absolute gem of knowledge the Changbin originally wrote Hallucination as a rap-heavy song and it got re-written to be vocal-focused for I.N.? And somewhere out there is a demo of the original?? I.N. you TEASE. (I'd love to hear it.)

Onwards to the second half of this #MakingOf vid for Seungmin's #AsWeAre!

SEUNGMIN 🥺🥺🥺 my feels 🥺🥺🥺

I didn't realise his solo had 29472927 feels in it and now I'm full of them awww.

I love how softly, fondly reminiscent it is and how it ends on such a strong note of "thanks to you, I made it through, and here I am strong, loved, as I am, so I hope you are too" and wjfbsidbjehekr SEUNGMINNNNN 😭😭😭😭

AMY CORREIA
"POWDER BLUE TRANS AM"
Mastodon Post

Powder Blue Trans Am
from You Go Your Way by Amy Correia

https://amycorreia.bandcamp.com/track/powder-blue-trans-am

Singer-songwriter Amy Correia is at her best when her voice is a little gritty and the beat picks up. "Powder Blue Trans Am" is quite good and it appears to be the most popular track on her "You Go Your Way" album.

The boyfriend trouble related to cars sub-genre is unfamiliar to me, though Correia explored it previously in the song, "He Drives It." Her latest release, an EP, is 2022's "As We Are."

For me, Amy Correia's best track - a little wacky - is "The Devil and I."
