The song "Forbidden Touch" originated from the 2019 Xiaohua Plan Exam X Cosmos People's Cosmos Concept Album, and was included in the "Reading the Music Concept Album". The song expresses "thoughts" from different angles, fighting the loneliest disease of this century, "3C claustrophobia". It is inspired by the sudden whim of the lead singer Xiaoyu when she created at home. Through contact with various materials, she inspires links to the object she missed in her heart. Through the exclusive memory left by the object, she produces many wonderful and ambiguous feelings and imaginations, perhaps the figure of the other party, or the breath. We also use this to think that due to the advancement of technology, the distance between people seems to be shortened, but in fact it is getting farther and farther away, and we no longer touch each other's temperature. The MV of "No Touch" was officially launched at 20:00 on April 16.
In the MV of "Forbidden Touch", the cosmic people are squeezed into a small box, and this small box is a small space that symbolizes the 3C screen in everyone's hands. The people we miss are trapped in it. It may be a photo, a piece of information, and a memory in our mobile phones. They also miss you, but they are unable to escape because they are separated by this cold glass barrier. Through the image, the director tried to awaken the mood of these days, which wanted to touch people and things that I missed but could not touch. Now that the epidemic is raging, the MV of "Forbidden Touch" just interprets people's lives and voices.
Square Q has a slight claustrophobia. He is 184 cm tall and 110 cm long, and he feels very uncomfortable with the narrow space. In the MV, he bent his body and played the bass in a square box. Fortunately, his feet can still stretch slightly to relieve the uncomfortable feeling. Fang Q recalled that two years ago, the Universe went to Chengdu for a performance. They took a taxi to visit the famous scenic spot "Kuanzhai Alley". Unexpectedly, the space of the taxi was particularly narrow. Three people were crowded in the back seats, so small that Fang Q almost hit the roof of the car, "I felt very uncomfortable and kept asking the driver how long it would take to arrive. The tragic thing was that it should be half an hour's drive, because of the traffic jam, it took more than two hours to arrive."
Aqui's "no touch" is "no touching instruments without washing hands". He said that this persistence comes from the requirements of the piano teacher when he was a child. It is not only respect for the instruments, but also a "Questorical sense of ritual". Until now, he will wash his hands before playing the guitar. "It is easy to play and will not stick. It often matches it with talcum powder, so talcum powder is also a must-have item on my stage. After playing the guitar, he will wipe the guitar for a round and then put it away. He often needs to turn on the dehumidifier for the guitar."
Recently, Aqui has added an anxiety related to "no touch". It turned out that the epidemic has made him feel a little afraid of the crowd. "If you encounter a crowded place recently, you will be anxious, even if you wear a mask."
Due to physical condition, Xiaoyu's hands are prone to overdry and easily suffer from static electricity. She is often electrocuted when opening the door and pressing the elevator. For him, almost everything is "no touch" in winter. He can only improve by applying hand cream, or touching the wall with one hand first, so that static electricity has a way out. "Otherwise, every time I am scared and hurt by static electricity, I want to swear!"
. Recently, due to the impact of the epidemic, the universe has tried to maintain social distance with others. Xiaoyu and Akui also played "5 methods for not touching" to demonstrate how to not have any contact with others in daily life, such as handshakes, hugs, etc., and to use infinite creativity. The epidemic has not yet been lifted. The Universe calls on fans to go out less, wash their hands frequently, wear masks, and continue to practice teamwork and create new songs. "No Touch" singles and MVs can be enjoyed online at major music platforms.
