Congratulations on meeting the challenge! 🌟 Here we go, this one is interesting too~ EDIT: I've added some new thoughts after listening to the latest tracks! Note there's likely to be spoilers as a result~ The song itself is so cool, I adore the raps but the singing is also high quality! Anthos* really grows with each new release but as they do, it seems they face even more issues-- Once again, these are my initial thoughts which may change after I hear the drama tracks (I'm actually scared 😅): They are definitely feeling the pressure. The lyrics include phrases such as "If we were perfect[...] If we were complete, we wouldn't break;" They're starting to see the truth behind being in this industry (maybe even AmagiriPro itself?) and it's leaving them confused, exhausted, in pain but they're still trying to head to the top. They're very dependent on what the fans think of them. They're going to be successful. It's starting to feel like what Loulou*di is going for, trying to reach the top but at what cost? It's not quite what they were expecting would happen. They're just following what they're being told, without much of a choice. So it seems they're losing themselves the more they throw themselves into being the best idols. They don't even have time to be themselves. Chise and Lihito sing about the dreams they once had but reality is nothing like what they thought. Their dreams were innocent and naive, they realise at this point. But they're still going ahead with it. Chise also seems to be losing himself and I don't know how much of that is related to the ending of the last CD... But the visuals show Chise's self being shredded to pieces and Lihito being left with it all in the form of a heart. He's going to gather those pieces and get Chise back. I really hope it's not as bad as I'm thinking it is. Kaoru is also having a hard time. He seems to be making memories with everyone but also losing them too, maybe under all the pressure, it's affecting his health and/or sense of true self. His flower is also the forget-me-not, so maybe the type of flower they end up with have different impacts on each host. Haruta also had a scene where he's sitting surrounded in gold; he gained something like a family and also reached the place he wanted to be at, which feels great but then it all disappears all of a sudden with no notice. I'm worried... They're also picking on Mahiro again and calling him a monster. But Mahiro will stand up for himself this time and deny it, he's going to say or do something that will allow him to grasp the key that will lead to his freedom. Ryoga is also supporting him I feel, that's why the two weren't around during the initial airport security checks where everyone else passed. What they're passing is AmagiriPro's criteria of success I think. The imagery suggests that maybe Ryoga will hit some kind of bullseye in regards to Mahiro while Mahiro is falling and this will either hurt him or become the source of saving him? Not too sure about this part! The thing that bothers me is the scene with Setsuna and Mahiro together, Setsuna is likely to do something that will negatively affect Mahiro (and from the drama tracks, I can tell it's not Setsuna himself who wants to harm Mahiro but he's being used by certain others...). His smile shows he's doing really well at this idol role and AmagiriPro have no issues with him. I'm still going to trust him though! Can we please stop hurting my boys already, they deserve happiness 😭 Ultimately though, it's going to be okay, they just need to believe in themselves and in their style! ________ EDIT: The first verse with Mahiro and Ryoga definitely refers to their conversation they had in the last track. About Ryoga, him getting involved in this whole project is risky to himself but also, his suspicions towards AmagiriPro is also risky to the agency itself. Honestly it could go either way, the arrow hitting the apple could mean Ryoga will find out something damaging about AmagiriPro or it could be AmagiriPro getting the better of him. The tracks also made me feel like Mahiro is the one saving Ryoga but Ryoga is still doing the same for Mahiro so they're on the same page. Which means they could get in trouble together-- I'll look on the positive side and believe they can still rescue each other/themselves though! Setsuna and Mahiro are getting along but I worry about Ageha's influence on them. Could the MV be foreshadowing? I hope not- Haruta is open with the others about his meeting with Toki but I hope things with Toki doesn't sour so he loses that relationship but also potentially lose his place in Anthos* if it has a negative impact on his work. So far he's safe though! I hope it stays that way, the MV and tracks suggest he's getting better at work and passing AmagiriPro's criteria so we're okay for now. Chise and Lihito's reveal was nice. Litto did end up getting Chise back (in multiple meanings, you'll know what I mean if you listen to the tracks!) But in the same way, Chise also got back what was important to him and I'm very happy about it :) Almost like they got what they dreamed of? Setsuna, I still love him ;w; While he's not completely in the clear yet, the group is getting along better with him which is very nice to see. I'm still concerned about his current living situation though. Him living away from the others in the Medical Tower and what little he mentioned about being there makes me worry about the effects of the flower on their bodies but especially on their mental states. Him acting spacey and not seeming like he knows very much about the world has me anxious now because... ...Of what's happening to Kaoru. The trampling of the bag of memories in the MV is a side effect of the flower, as seen at the end of the final track. This is especially as he gets closer to perfection, the lyrics that appear when Kaoru is on screen. I'm worried he might turn into something like Setsuna... I feel like that's why there was so much imagery of other people judging them, their increase in popularity means more people will like them and this will make their flowers bloom further and quicker. Which will make the side-effects appear sooner too. Those people also representing us 🥲 I'll still support them regardless though! There was a mention of a medicine called M473. Looking into the real life medicine, I got: "This medication is used to treat seizure disorders, certain psychiatric conditions (manic phase of bipolar disorder), and to prevent migraine headaches. It works by restoring the balance of certain natural substances (neurotransmitters) in the brain." Now this has me worried about potential future effects of the flower but it immediately made me think of Ageha and Loulou*di. I am now uneasy again, thanks AmagiriPro :D Now to wait for the next CD, I really can't wait 🤣

I'm happy the challenge was met! That being said, there was so much red in this MV... Mahiro, please be careful! Chise and Lihito, too, please watch out for each other! Haru, not all is gold that shine and you know it best! Don't worry, the worth you've gained in Anthos won't disappear no matter what relationship with * some others * will end up being! Ryoga just be careful with digging around alright? The past will uncover itself eventually, I'm sure! Finally KAORU PL STAY SAFE I'M PRETTY SURE THE MENTION OF YOUR FLOWER DOING FINE FROM LAST CD WAS A FORESHADOWING OF SOMETHING TERRIBLE, SO PLS BE STRONG Setsuna... I just hope you will be allowed to grow mind able to think of anything else that is not being a perfect idol and realize you're already part of the group... also DON'T LISTEN TO THE *REDACTED* HE NEEDS HELP
