In contrast to Kukaru's relieved appearance, Malchut couldn't understand what happened and displayed a blank expression. Because of his interference, the harmonious circulating flow of Turii was disrupted and chaos would soon begin.

I'm really surprised every time by the majestic story of Zektbach's songs. This song's development matches its movie, and it really feels like you've completely watched a film, right? The beautiful, delicate harp's flowing melody and the whimsical, majestic chorus is anyways fully loaded with listenability. Since the melody changes from 8-beats, to 12-beats, to 16-beats, and to 24-beats, it'd be great if you can play it while switching between the rhythmic feeling. It'd be great to consciously think that 24-beats is twice as fast as 12-beats.
