...Central starts out promisingly. “What You’re Afraid Of” is one of those perfect pop songs, with swirling synths and surprisingly warm vocals from singer Manda Rin building anticipation before the guitar crunch and insanely catchy chorus bust everything up in a climax of euphoria. Backed by cinematic strings, “The End Starts Today” is a positively grandiose affair, indicative of the major change Bis have undertaken.

Literally: Lau and Sorimachi are in a fireworks warehouse. "We've got stuff exploding everywhere to the music of Mozart's Figaro," says To, for once enthusiastic. "It's fantastical, it's magical. I think this film will change a few minds in Hong Kong. It's the new look for Milkyway. It's amazing stuff...
