[Teaser] "New Moon" #LOONA @loonatheworld #이달의소녀

These personal notes are 12h+ late, so first, #Haseul 🕊

This Hyunjin-butterfly scene is subtly different from the ending of Why Not
Just watch the butterfly in this comparison: it disappears
Otherwise, this is mostly stuff that people already noticed / talked about by this point, or whatever came to mind, which you can just discount 🙂
[The press release mentioned relations and connections]

So maybe that hints at why the cars with Yves in Why Not were in such disarray

Reminding me of the scene in Why Not in the messed-up grocery store, it was said that there was a reason for why it looked like that as well
This is new, and the fourth shot of Vivi here is too. From the PR article we saw Vivi from the past, but *how far* into the past is the next question

For the Why Not scene in front of the car: Vivi said she came to this location in search of Yves, who was here earlier
The sea, and then flames from So What

Personally, the two put side by side just remind me of the original # teaser, which also showed the Iceland shore, and you know where that's going
Olivia Hye from So What transitions "into" Heejin in Why Not, then the video moves to the Egoist scene where Olivia Hye is embraced by her other self but off-colored

(Heejin played the role of Olivia Hye's other self there)

So the teaser shows the members in pairs in mirrored debut order between 1/3 and yyxy
(OEC and Yeojin are not present in the teaser)
- Hyunjin - Go Won
- Vivi - Yves
- Heejin - Olivia Hye
The yyxy member always appears first

So, the next pair should be...
[Going too deep] "Connections/relations" reminded me of [Teaser] #1 showing just 1 note+member

The BGM while showing member pairs had me imagining a base signal and a response, the 2nd base (🐧-🕊) feeling more erratic than the 1st (🦋-🐱)

Video/audio is the gist, simplified
[Going too deep] the higher note that's repeated (on the bottom row in the video above) went from E to F, going up a halfstep and an octave

It reminded me of [Teaser] #1 going from C to C# (going up a halfstep; same octave).

Probably nothing but good taste from the producers🙂
This is a liquid being impacted, I simply take it as the representation of a sizable impact

(which we could infer is about to happen, seeing Go Won and the plane heading towards the earth), the color used here looking pretty dire
✅It took some effort, but I found the original clip they used for that droplet splatter clip

Sadly, the source doesn't reveal anything new (they obviously edited the colors for the teaser), they just wanted to show this imagery

And this is random, but those colors and the context reminded me of Let Me In too. Probably a coincidence, but it would be cool to see Hyunjin/Haseul/Yeojin's moon intro colors having meaning elsewhere too, since they're different from the rest and not simply their own colors
Speaking of impact, this is the scene right after that recolored animation:
Chuu on top of the green car looking up at the sky, this is the same scene as in Why Not (yep still looks like an airplane)
Then: something leaving a trail of smoke (feather? falling plane?), Iceland, the color green, a dark round shape (🌑?) moving in the foreground as Haseul is shown in the background, completing the last 1/3-yyxy mirrored-member pair, Haseul/Chuu
Ending: you can hear crackling (End of So What? Electric flickering?) as the moon cracks away into nothing
(Or: night sky on a New Moon)

Back to old behavior, which makes [#] the only post-debut #LOONA cb to not post a teaser right after related activities officially ended
