To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Sound Horizon’s major debut, the jacket for Beyond Story Maxi’s “Halloween and Morning Story”, scheduled to be released on March 5, 2025, has been released.
The regular edition has a slightly different design from the jacket illustration that was already released on music distribution, so that the characters and background can be seen more clearly. The special edition, which is only available to order, has a lenticular jacket, and the illustrations seem to change depending on the direction you look at it.
Sound Horizon has just successfully held “Revo’s Halloween Party 2024” at Pia Arena MM on November 23rd and 24th, with tickets sold out for both days. And the jacket illustration has become a memorable one for the people who attended the concert. Let’s enjoy the songs through music distribution while looking forward to the day when we actually receive them.
This work can be said to be a new frontier for Sound Horizon, who calls his music “narrative music” and has always pioneered new horizons of expression. As the title Beyond Story Maxi suggests, it is a work that embodies “what it means to depict a story with music” with a structure and density that goes beyond the framework of the Story Maxi that Sound Horizon has released in the past. . Let’s wait a while until the CD is released.
