i miss ar tonelico, i miss our little ARM community, i miss everything. this song has so much impact on me even up to this day.

4:48 is probably the best part IMO. I like how they try to sing together while having different lyrics. I don't know how to describe that particular moment though

Call and Response singing is powerful, which is why its used in battle songs and work songs (like slave music or rowing dirges) because it has the effect of pulling hearts together. Perfect for Metafalica TBH, the creation of a new world.

2020, eyes tearing up hearing this song again

No matter what I'll never forget ar tonelico. It's part of my childhood.

Ringing in the new year with the most appropriate Ar Tonelico song I can think of. As is tradition.

Interesting tempo and stylistic shift at around 3:45. Cool mysterious music. Really has the feel of representing a unique world view and story. Same at 6:15 with the move to a choir and choral singing. The end is also slightly mysterious with the chord movements and the singers’ voices.

Still so fucking brilliant that the binary code in the intro is actually in the song, and if you listen closely you can hear each 0 and 1, given by an o sound and an i sound respectively. They made a binary opcode into goddamn *poetry*

That's not even the most impressive feat pulled off by Ar Tonelico songs, in my opinion : in Noriko Mitose's EXEC_DISHADOW_includes.EX_VANISLAND/., there is an actual _chmod command in octal syntax_ and it is sung so naturally it's absolutely ridiculous.

It's been years since I first listened to these, and I still listen to them now. :)

you did a great job, it's on my favourites and playlist now

I just realized in 0:21, one sings on analog signal and the other on the equivalent digital signal, and this is great.

Wrong. That section is just specifying execution parameters for the song, and it's identical for both singers.

I literally got goosebumps everytime i hear their songs

While playing around with ChatGPT I discovered that it knows and can translate words into Hymnos. I have no idea how accurate it is though.

Great song to conclude the story of Ar Tonelico 2.

Amazing!!! Thank you for creating this!

listening to this whenever i feel down give me energy to continue on

Man.. this song is good as always. Never get tired of listening to it

This always brings me to tears

more than 7 years and I still find myself back here.

***** That is very unfortunate that you no longer have your game. I have my game for the PS2 yet. I have been around for several years. I listen to the songs of love. Do you have a dive into another world. The manga I've later imported from Japan. The drawings have appealed to me immediately, as I have the Manga times on the internet in English. Soon the soundtrack CD will arrive to the game with me. Also comes from Japan. I'm really looking forward to it.

Oh wow, you made the Wikia? Thank you for that, man. I literally just finished AT2 not too long ago. I was one of those impatient people and got too curious halfway through the game and just had to wiki Jacqli's identity. Your wiki helped alot and also refreshed my memory of what happened in AT1. Can't wait to start AT3 ^_^

Going through my favorite Ar Tonelico songs to celebrate Ar Tonelico 3. The music is so god-tier! It deserves to be animated one day.

It is the middle of 2024 and I still come here to listen to this song to refill my hope meter

I love the "binary" part at the beginning; it sounds so entrancing~ :3

It's read as i ku i i o i i o i o o i i o o i i i o o o. That's how the 1s and 0s are pronounced in Hymmnos Binary.

My favorite composition from the entire Ar Tonelico soundtrack!

歌が大好きです2人のハーモニー良いです私は大好きです何度も聞いていてもあきないです。

Nobody: Ar Tonelico coming from downtown with absolutely no excuse for slapping this hard: WAS YEA RA

My sister always sings as Luca and I always have to be Cloche......I AM SO OUT OF BREATH.

exelente video wow your works are the best

2021 :) this ost is eternal

i want remake version or new ♥ i love this game series so much.

That's true as well, but so far, he's the most dedicated AT fan I have seen. I believe though he did have help with a large amount of information, it's just that he's one of the few who took the time to pile all the information resources together.

There are more than a few carryovers from both versions, and that applies to harmonies, melodies and lyrics. Just try to listen to either the EXEC or the METHOD version alone and then to this one. In fact, one of the challenges the creators made to the players was finding the points where the EXEC and the METHOD parts intersect.

Haha crap, I totally missed that when I was doing the description! Thanks =P

Still love all ar tonelico songs even in 2022

2022 and still listening to this song every day

dat saron/kotekan and gamelan start at 1:17 - 1:54 superb

Merry Christmas!!!!!

Thanks! I always seem to forget the source.. the most important thing haha

OMG it's 10 years already since I first time play this game :"

Actually, the binaries have nothing to do with expressing emotion: that's the role of the trio of Emotion Sounds present at the start of the sentences (Standard) and the vowels placed in the Emotion Verbs (Pastalie). The binaries are more like specifying particular commands to the Song Server that will execute the song.

Love Ar Tonelico hymnos. Never gets old how awesome they can make a bit shift command sound. @0:12

Akiko does really beautiful songs. I gotta find out more about this series.

Oh and I forgot to mention, I think I did do the Waath part, it's at 3:45 =)

And there you have it from the AT Encyclopedia himself! Glad to see you're busy on KZread bringing knowledge to us ignorants XD

This game is so amazing , i love all musics in this game, 2019 from Brasil

I WANT TO CRY..!!! goosebumps everywhere!! luca take me!! :)

Thanks for the encouragement. And it's always a pleasure to talk to anyone who actually likes and respects the series for what it is. :)

que obra de arte

One of the last true rpgs of my time, I will always remember and love Ar Tonelico... Oh and Luca!

it's sad to think that probably many people can't enjoy this kind of song since most of them play it on tv (ps2), with just tv speaker. this is a game that need good quality speaker / headphone to enjoy it at its fullest.

shit. i was overflowed with this nostalgic feelings.

This is definitely a masterpiece

@brady6723 It's in progress, look forward to it being released this week sometime!

2022 still find this amazing!

On the contrary, it's more of an honor for me to continue being able to be of help in some way or other. ^^

***** Thanks for your comments. It's great to learn something new about this series. And you're the person who wrote the wiki?! I feel privileged!

I love this song ♡

@crazyjavi87 If you're referring to the binary, it's an advanced grammar rule in Hymmnos designed to accommodate singing two songs at once, like, say, Exec_Metafalica and Method_Metafalica. It lets the tower know the pattern by which the songs will switch by representing one with 0 and the other with 1.

There are a lot of romaji mistakes, and one of the most awkward translation is the mune ---> breast, chest might be better IMO. BUT it was an amazing job done!

@blara2401

It does throw you off when attempting to sing along !

Well, if it's worth anything, I will listen XD Not too many people on KZread that know about the series go around posting comments. If it counts for anything, I tried to get some people into the series. Mainly through the music because I'm big on music and that's how I found the series to begin with. (searched for songs from Akiko Shikata because I just loved Utsusemi which was the ending theme of the anime Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi, and I found Phantasmagoria and others.)

@PKUltimaga I agree. I can't seem to grasp it no matter how hard I try...

3:45 onwards goosebumps

If you do one of these videos for phantasmagoria, I will love you for ever!!! :)

No problem. Though if you want more conversation than just me, try looking up low-key Let's Plays of any of the games. I'm sure those people would love to discuss. One of the people I've been currently following is a person who makes replies regularly to his commenters. The game he's LPing (Let's Playing) is AT2 and his name is SyfeKS. I'm sure he'd love to see you talk with him about the series. His current release of the game is at part 66 in Phase 3 with the duel against Targana.

If you learn the language, you will understand the numbers, and why they are needed.

Someone needs to port this to the PC. My PS2's already busted. I'd love to replay these gems.

Hmm yes I could see that, didn't think of bit flags. Another thought is that it could be some form of access code like a WEP, which would also be a decent explanation as to why the digits don't appear to calculate to anything particularly meaning full.

Err... that's isn't the case here. That's Binasphere, and it only serves to fuse two statements into a single sentence and it's always preceded by a =>, while a formula that shows how to decrypt it is always placed at the end of the song. The binary present here is just to indicate which will be the execution parameters for the entirety of Metafalica.

No. It's because no matter how polite I try to be, it doesn't change anything. That's what I've learned from being here for so long.

I think that Luca is Haruka and Cloche Akiko. Anyway, the outcome is awesome.

oh~i'm gonna find some friends to sing~^^

genre? :D Too beautiful

I always come back to this song no matter how long it has been since I played this game. Now and again on other lyric videos, I'll see people commenting saying that Akiko Shikata wasn't as strong singing as Cloche here as Haruka Shimotsuki is as Luka and it makes me a little sad because I've always interpreted it as Cloche trying to sing and be strong even as she's feeling very overwhelmed and insecure even in this moment, after everything that has happened in the story up to this point. I dunno. Maybe I'm looking into it too much but this song will always have a strong emotional effect on me. (:

Actually, these are execution parameters. On the other hand, SH Server addresses are more similar in syntax to our own IPv4 addresses.
