Booklet

A glance at the “Heaven Sky” jacket photoshoot and recording session —
 we present to you a seldom-seen side of HEAVENS, accompanied by their
musical passion.

This booklet also collects keywords that HEAVENS members selected
pertaining to their own group, and their individual rationales for their
 selections.

Let the charm of these 7 idols compel you…

EVOKE
Whether it’s to a spectator or someone in direct influence of HEAVENS,
we must strive to be a group with the power to elicit an array of
emotions. Not only in our Angels, but in our own members as well. Be it
joy or sadness, we’d like to present these human emotions with our songs
 and performances. I’d like to keep sharing these soul-rattling
experiences.

EXCELLENT
We are made up of a cast of elite and unique members. Though we’re all
able to push our individual charm to their limit, there’s never a moment
 when we overshadow each other. Within that, a miraculous chemical
reaction bears a fruit that is beyond all imagination. We’re always in
search of more possibilities, and constantly growing. That, is
HEAVENS….truly EXCELLENT! Truly the best!

SING
To HEAVENS…songs are…the core to our existence. Through music….we are
deeply connected. It’s a sound that….cannot be produced…..alone. The 7
of us…we were charmed by this….and formed a group. Every single
song…means something to us. A message from our hearts….waiting to be
delivered. And I’m sure….the same goes…..for our Angels.

SPIRIT
No matter what you do….there’s no point…..if your heart isn’t in it.
These feelings….aren’t visible to the naked eye…..but they exist.
HEAVENS…we’re very emotionally connected. That’s why we can do
it…..that’s how we infuse our souls into songs….I want to keep pursuing
it. Please….look forward to it.

NATURAL
When I’m with our members, I can be myself. Like, I can say whatever’s
on my mind and act like myself. It’s a really good feeling~ I feel like I
 don’t need to hold back, in a good way. When we’re working on something
 together, we can listen to each others’ inputs and keep probing issues
until we’re all satisfied. That’s like, pretty impressive, I think~♪

NEVER
No one really knows what the next step for HEAVENS is, not even our own
members. But there’s one thing I can say, and it’s that we’re headed for
 a world we alone can tread, where no one has ever gone before☆ Angels,
we’re gonna show you a breathtaking view, so prepare yourselves and
follow along, okay?☆

EFFORT
We’ll practice as much as time will allow us in order to deliver a great
 performance. I think the fruit of all of our efforts combined is what
shapes the current HEAVENS. But it’s mysterious — when we’re all working
 hard together, it doesn’t feel so painful at all. Actually, I’d say
it’s rather fun. I’ll keep working hard to make our Angels happy!

ENERGY
You could say I’m someone who keeps to himself, but I’m just not the
type to be standing at the front of anything. Yet when I’m with HEAVENS,
 I feel pulled along by their power, and even I feel a bit braver when
I’m with them. It feels like we’ve got a momentum that pushes us
forward. Can you feel this momentum too, Angels? I’m very happy to be a
part of this powerful force.

VENTURE
Don’t ever forget your sense of adventure! It might seem reckless, but
you’ll never know if you can do something if you don’t try. “First step:
 take up the challenge! And then you can start thinking about what to
do.” That’s my motto, and HEAVENS is made up of people who more or less
think the same way, so that makes my job easy! Y’all Angels gotta keep
up with us!

VICTORY
If you’re gonna do something, you’d want to succeed at it, wouldn’t ya?
You gotta be ambitious to keep moving up. Everything is a showdown
between you and your past self! Of course, there will be times when you
lose, but it’s important to take that in stride and keep chasing your
dreams! And it’s a wonderful feeling knowing you have friends to share
this journey with.

HEAT
In music and in anything else, passion is key. No matter how awesome
something is, if it doesn’t have heat, it can’t convey what it set out
to do. To have that kind of passion all the time is easier said than
done. But the guys in HEAVENS, we’re all packing the same amount of
heated passion in us. We’ve all got something worth working hard for.
Having rivals is really a good thing.

HIGH
The higher we set a goal, the better. We aim for a point beyond the
highest place. We struggle and do anything we can to reach it. Once
we’re there, everyone can feel the raw end to our journey on our bodies.
 I love that tension. We give it our all in our own ways and , that’s
how we express ourselves. That’s HEAVENS.

ABSOLUTE
To me, HEAVENS is an existence beyond all, and a place where my soul
nests. To be a part of this constellation of 7 stars, and shine along
with them, is Amakusa’s happiness. When I spread that joy to our Angels,
 you return it with smiles. In calling on each other and supporting each
 other, we are able to strive for an even more perfect relationship…

AMBITION
The strength of our will…and the power to take hold of our dreams….our
thirst for growth and our struggling forms in the face of our
adversaries sparks embers in people’s hearts. I thank the alignment of
the stars for this miracle, and live my days knowing the destinies each
of us were meant to fulfill. If it’s with my friends, there’s no wish
that can’t be granted…that’s how HEAVENS makes me feel. That’s the
beacon of light granted to me by HEAVENS.
