With the revival of ancient genetic memories, and their respective justices born from hope and despair, what's the result of this duo at the mercy of fate... | |||

==== Zektbach ==== | |||
Nox and Matin. They were two beings with brilliantly beautiful symmetry.<br> | |||
Born from one's self, they were attracted to each other, and planned to follow the lineage of transcendent beings who possessed perfect logic.<br> | |||
However, the emotional faults created in their respective environments were greatly amplified by the jewel [[Ristaccia]], and the logical symmetry maintained by its perfect beauty didn't attract each other, but instead collapsed.<br> | |||
The collapsing harmony caused terrifying contradictions in their hearts――<br> | |||
Nox, who was raised in a weak environment, born from resentment, and started to be controlled by negative emotions, gradually became self-contradictory and couldn't accept Matin's "similar yet different existence".<br> | |||
And in the end, after much suffering, he ends up choosing the path of "complete justice", by eliminating Matin's evil existence.<br> | |||
Matin, who was raised in a strong and happy environment, is filled with compassion, and after understanding everything, is only swayed by his heart to want to save Nox.<br> | |||
One's self has been divided in half. Their respective blind justices caused a result that was completely different to their naturally ideal world.<br> | |||
No one knew that the lineage of transcendent beings who corrected the world since ancient times, was completely lost.<br> | |||
<div style="text-align:right;>From The Epic of Zektbach, Chapter 3: Section 5 "The Lost Genealogy"</div> | |||
=== DanceDanceRevolution === | Hi everyone. My name is Zektbach. I'm commonly known as Zektbach the CURUCURU. It's a spinning Zektbach.<br> | ||
This story reveals something important that controls the center of the epic.<br> | |||
The music score is more systematic than [[Apocalypse ~dirge of swans~|Chapter 4's Apocalypse]], because going back through time, the world in this story hasn't been controlled by chaos yet.<br> | |||
... Let's leave it at that. | |||
Well, let's talk a bit about the past.<br> | |||
At a bar in certain town where adventurers gather, there was a legendary artist.<br> | |||
I've previously heard some rumors about her. It's MAYA.<br> | |||
While we were drinking together and talking about our adventures, I thought that she was the only person who could express Chapter 3's scene, and when I told the entire The Epic of Zektbach to her, she kindly agreed.<br> | |||
Everyone knows that the wonderful drawings were completed several months later. | |||
Well then, until the next chapter, farewell! | |||
=== pop'n music === | |||
==== Zektbach ==== | |||
Matin climbed up the Sonne Castle watchtower and looked down.<br> | |||
A very prominent gigantic fortress can be seen across the beautiful, violet blue Tetoroa Sea.<br> | |||
Why does Nox and his allies repeatedly engage in pointless destruction and battles?<br> | |||
Trisagion's teachings have always kept people safe since the Kingdom of Noigllado was founded.<br> | |||
Why are they now trying to disturb it? Why do they pointlessly cause suffering and sadness to people?<br> | |||
Matin firmly held the holy sword in her hand. | |||
Nox... I don't want to fight you if possible....<br> | |||
But, I need to maintain justice.<br> | |||
To protect the hopes of many people, and to make them happy.... | |||
<div style="text-align:right;>From The Epic of Zektbach, Chapter 3: Section 3 "The Battle of Tetoroa"</div> | |||
Hi everyone. My name is Zektbach. I'm commonly known as Zektbach the Party. It's a feasting Zektbach.<br> | |||
From everyone's requests, Chapter 3's melody can be enjoyed here.<br> | |||
The respective fates of two people with opposing sides of justice.<br> | |||
They originally should've completed a mission....<br> | |||
By all means, I'd like you to enjoy grooving to such sad story. | |||
Well then, until the next chapter, farewell! | |||

This song, with it's dramatic opening, is a new work by musical prodigy Zektbach. Its classical harmony spread over the 4/4 rhythm produces a unique sound. This is truly a revolutionary piece. | This song, with it's dramatic opening, is a new work by musical prodigy Zektbach. Its classical harmony spread over the 4/4 rhythm produces a unique sound.

It already seems like quite a long time ago... I was asked to be in charge of this song's video about over a year ago.<br> | |||
One pleasant night, when Zektbach and I went out drinking together, before I knew it, I remembered when we bonded over silly stories and spoke to each other with shining eyes.<br> | |||
I truly never dreamed that I'd be involved in such things like The Epic of Zektbach. | |||
On the day I received the demo, from the moment I first listened to it, a large amount of imagination started to fill up my mind.<br> | |||
Many scattering stars, a swirling hellfire, metallic sword fighting sounds, people's roars, tears, etc.... I vaguely felt the tragedy surrounding this duo.<br> | |||
Whether or not I was sitting at my desk, images kept coming in succession, and I spent the days taking notes, drawing rough sketches, and following the storyline. | |||
While I showed and discussed about that image to Zektbach, the story formed its shape like a rapidly growing ivy.<br> | |||
After I received the lyrics written by koshuka, its vague image solidified, and its world is widely expanding. | |||
When I completed it, I'm sincerely glad that I formed its shape.<br> | |||
I'm grateful and happy not just to Zektbach, but to everyone who supported us.<br> | |||
I'm truly honored to be able to express a chapter of The Epic of Zektbach in this way. | |||
== Character Information == | == Character Information == | ||
Is justice to make the weak suffer?<br> | |||
Is justice to repeat pointless wars and destruction?<br> | |||
Nox and Matin. Two people with similar faces, advocating their own justices. | |||
=== MAYA === | |||
Hello, I'm MAYA.<br> | |||
With the song crossing over from IIDX, Nox and Matin are participating in pop'n. | |||
I thought that this duo should both be included here, so I asked the staff to draw them both.<br> | |||
Thank you very much to the staff for listening to my selfishness. | |||
I tried to express unique aspects and appearances in their animations that can't be seen in the IIDX movie.<br> | |||
When I moved them, I think both their hearts were expressed well.<br> | |||
To those who've played this song in IIDX, try it in pop'n!<br> | |||
To those who've first played it in pop'n, please try and play it in IIDX~.<br> | |||
What's between this duo?... was it there?... I'm sure The Epic of Zektbach's world will expand again. | |||

I recently went to Mont-Saint-Michel, and this song played in my mind during meditation.<br> | |||
In the Middle Ages, "waaaaaaaaaaap"!!!! | |||
=== [[Kiyoshi Murai|Seiya Murai]] === | |||
A suspicious party will be held in an old house? It felt like the beginning of a grand story.... | |||
=== [[Yuki Shibata|Mameshiba]] === | |||
It's a luxurious song that can be played with different characters for 1P and 2P.<br> | |||
It's great that it's luxurious, but as a program, does it need to sort Nox and Matin as different characters? I remember thinking about this during production.<br> | |||
This time, I asked [[Chihiro Inoue|Chihi]] many questions like those in a first-year junior high school student's English textbook, such as "is Satou-san [[Shishamo]]?" or "is Karoline [[Karoline&Yangels|KaroYan]]". | |||
=== [[Ryuta Tamura|TAMA]] === | |||
We also asked MAYA to comment on NET Taisen.<br> | |||
I'm sorry that she couldn't separately comment about Nox and Matin. | |||
=== chihiro === | |||
Unlike [[SigSig|sigsig]], I needed to lower their size, but even if they get smaller, their atmosphere is kept! Thank you very much~<br> | |||
There doesn't seem to be many examples of identical twins with different genders, and in addition, their facial features are beautiful~!<br> | |||
There might be ups and downs in life, but there are many events that compensate for it, right? I'm jealous | |||
