Yet again I'm having a big brain move in the middle of the night when I should be sleeping!
But, I was watching a live stage for IZ*ONE's newest comeback "Panorama". I've watched this performance countless times and only now put this theory together.
I decided to put this as it's own thread because it is more of a comeback analysis than a general kpop theory. Please check out my theory thread anyways!
Here's how it goes:
I believe IZ*ONE's "Panorma" is supposed to symbolism them preparing to disband and notifying the fans of this.
Throughout the song, m/v, and dance we see them telling us to take a picture. This will not last forever, so remember us and this moment.
I'm gonna analyze each part seperately.

First the dance as it is the thing that made me come to this realization.
There is a move done by Hitomi and Hyewon from 0:47-0:54 and then again by Nako and Sakura at 2:05-2:12.
1. The first section is a move that can be seen in their debut song "La Vie En Rose".
It's the section right before the chorus into the chorus. The "La la la vie en rose mmmmhhh" part.

2. The second section is from their first comeback "Violeta".
It is the move that often accompanied them saying "Violeta" before the chorus.

3. The third section is from their next comeback "Fiesta".
It is the first move that you see in the chorus. When they say "Fiesta".

It's the first part of this gif. I couldn't find a better one.

4. The final section is from the prior comeback "Secret Story of the Swan".
It the the outward body pop at the beginning of the "like swan swan swan" part.

This one section of "Panorama"'s dance perfectly reflects on their prior works. It's a way of saying "Hey remember this"?
Also a note: All of these moves takes place when the title of the song is sung or at least a word of the title (in the case of ssots).

Now onto the lyrics.
All of the lyrics tell the same story.
Take a picture so you can remember this. Look back on our past moments. This won't last forever.
Now I'm gonna analyze the lyrics!

A small memory popping up after the wind
A deep echo in my ears Ring My Bell
My beautiful bottomless heart
I’ll give it to you little by little

Giving little by little references giving music comeback by comeback.

When your fingertip and mine touch Eyes On Me
If you hear my heart, shout out louder
It’s a Drama that starts quietly
Unfold treasured pieces

The scenery of the season passing by once again
Our unfinished story
Wonder if it’s a dream, don’t let it stop
Close your eyes and feel this moment

Telling us to remember past albums but also live in the moment of this era.
This is the part sung during the dance section I analyzed.

Shoot! Take a Panorama

Like a shining star in pitch darkness
we can recognize each other anywhere

This is like the members saying to each other and to the fans, that even when we disband we can still recognize each other with our work.
Dazzling Spotlight in your heart and mine
this radiant moment will bloom forever
Like like a Panorama

My heart pounds nonstop
My heart will never change, let us go together now
I will show only you endless Fantasia
Swirling my heart Panorama

Open the door to memories, on that green hill
Let me invite you to the rainbow house, campfire at night

Inviting fans into everything that is IZ*ONE and remembering them.
Campfires often signify coming together and are often great memories.

Show me everything, don’t leave regrets
Soaked in light this moment will last for eternity

Bring me to your dream, Take on me
Don’t want to miss every little breath
So precious I’ll cherish them all
Starlight shining in your eyes

The scenery of the season passing by once again
Our unfinished story
Wonder if it’s a dream, don’t let it stop
Close your eyes and feel this moment
Shoot! Take a Panorama

Like a shining star in pitch darkness
We can recognize each other anywhere
Dazzling Spotlight In your heart and mine
This radiant moment will bloom forever
Like a Panorama

My heart pounds nonstop
My heart will never change, let us go together, now
I will show only you endless Fantasia

The endless Fantasia is like saying that if you remember us you will continue to see how wonderful IZ*ONE is.
Swirling my heart Panorama

Watch me, always (always), we are meant to be one

The specific word "one" is important. With it being in IZ*ONE's name and their fandom name With*one.
Directly reference the fandom.

Like the first moment we met, my heart beats fast
We are one soul in two bodies

IZ*ONE will forever be together even when we part.
Now let’s fly away together

Like a shining star in pitch darkness
We can recognize each other anywhere
Dazzling Spotlight In your heart and mine
this radiant moment will bloom forever
Like a Panorama

I fly over the sky (Woo Hoo)
to spread this voice all over the world
Rising momentarily I’ll show everything
I’ll remember forever Promise
Don’t Let me Down Down Down

IZ*ONE is promising to remember their time together and their fans.
They are asking us to not forget them.


Now onto the last part, the music video.
As a whole this music video is a huge reflection on Produce 48 and their time as IZ*ONE.
This music video is full of shots of empty theater seats. These seats represent them having sat in them before they debuted as a fan, and after when others sat and watched them.
The film strips, cameras, and projector are there to represent the preserving of memories and reflection of this past experience.
There is a small section that features a chess board. I think this represents them being winners of Produce 48. And having to play the producer's game to win.
If you watch the m/v you can see the true message IZ*ONE is trying to get across with this comeback.

Anyways, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
I just needed to get this all out at once before I forgot it.
Please support IZ*ONE with their new comeback and their few remain months as a group. And continue to the support the girls as they go their separate ways.
Stream "Panorama" and the whole album while your at it. There isn't a single bad song on it!
Bye bye! 💜💜
