A song conceived within my world, further expanded by the designer MAYA's MOVIE.<br> | |||
Next, I'd like you to further expand this world called "Xepher" by playing it.<br> | |||
That's why I gave the first letter of this song title "X", which means "the unknown". | |||
I asked platoniX's JunkoHirata and Yumi Natori from the gospel world to participate in this choir. By all means, please also pay attention to their voices. | |||

We had several discussions from its demo stage to further expand Tatsh's "Xepher" world.<br> | |||
It's not like that~, it's not like this~..., and. | |||
Xepher | "Xepher" penetrated through me from the moment I was in charge of its lyrics.<br> | ||
There are very few singing parts in this song, but actually, there's a very long and rough lyrics draft.<br> | |||
Tatsh drew upon them and wrote the lyrics.<br> | |||
I hope you can experience my interpretation of "Xepher" through the [https://web.archive.org/web/20150507122951/http://www.konami.jp/am/bm2dx/bm2dx12/g2arts_maya_works.html G2ARTS page] and some lyric choices below. | |||
