" Lovers in Japan", one of the highlights in visual terms, uses a series of archive footage and animations across the screen at the back of the stage and in the end thousands of confetti butterflies would rain all over the venue. However, other sections of the show were completely different. This takes the gig-goers on a journey through a solar system where the stars coalesce to form an eye shape that goes supernova and engulfs the screen in flames. The cosmic theme is repeated across a number of the visuals like " Speed of Sound" and " Glass of Water". The idea was to make each show being a spectacle in its own, rather than just part of the tour.
