my favorite kpop album ever. i have so much lore and memories connected to this album, she means so much to me... first, this was my first comeback with txt as my ults, so i was super excited for it to come out! i still have the screenshot of the promotion schedule in my camera roll. i wasn't on twitter or instagram yet, so i was seeing all of the concept photos for the first time through youtube community posts, but they're all so pretty! i know my preferences in style have definitely changed, though, because the "ethereal" concept was my least favorite at the time, but since then, i've had two or three wallpapers based off of it, including right now! but yeah, all of the concept photos are sooo pretty, and then the concept trailer was so amazing, too. the track teasers were good,. but honestly, it wasn't anything Crazy to me at the time, but the music video teasers are a different story. i think it's the second mv teaser(?), where it's the instrumental for the second dance break, and it ends with yeonjun's line. oh my god. YAKSOKAE YEAHHHHH it genuinely gives me goosebumps every time i go back to listen to the isolated vocals in the teaser. i woke up at 3am for the music video premier, and i remember listening to all of the tracks early in the morning while getting ready for surf practice, as well as on the way to the beach. i especially loved deja vu anemoia remix (i am genuinely the number one deja vu enjoyer from day 1)! this doesn't really explain why i love this album So much, though. it came out right around when my spring break was starting, so immediately after the album released, i was in tokyo! i got the album (romantic ver.) at tower records, and walking around harajuku, i saw electronic billboard ads promoting minisode 3!! i dunno, it just brought me so much happiness to see my favs out in the wild like that... i have more but i need to study for calc test i'll return another day to finish
