Song Production Information

<Turii> (CD information)

(Zektbach) Once upon a time.

The eight pieces of Ristaccia were found.

And the eight races had having the secret power of Ristaccia awakened.

To balance the distorted stream of energy,the planet had been proded into action by Ristaccia.

Finally,a mystical giant tree was born on Island Turii.

And under that giant tree,once lived a special kind of race,"people of the stars".

They knew neither about the other eight races,nor about Ristaccia.They just lived there peacefully and quietly.

Different from the other eight races,they didn't have even qualia or sexuality.They were completely locked out of the gate called "mutation".Therefore,they will never bring unbalance to the world,and also,will never be unbalanced.

They kept their population stable,and together with the giant tree,they had become the power of balance,to counter the chaos power of Ristaccia.

Thanks to their existence,the planet was preserved from destruction after the Ristaccia War.Under the power of balance,at last,the once ruined earth was restored.All chaos were returned to great harmony once again.

But,good thing will not last forever.An unexpected condition,finally,smashed the last hope for this planet.

(to be continued)

Enjoy.

(Zektbach) On a mysterious island, where the site for turii was located, a ceremony involving the star people was held every one and a half years.

There could only be at the most 10 star people in the world, and their ages were marked on their bodies by rings.

Malchut, the eldest, realized that she would have to return to nature in order to maintain the balance of turii in the world. So after a ceremony with song and dancing in front of the nine other star people, she quietly went into the water.

But, out of youthful exuberance, Sazaragi Kukaru, who had been observing the ceremony, interrupted the ceremony. He belonged to an agency that was responsible for exploring distant lands and their heritage. In his sense of justice, Kukaru rescued Malchut from drowning, much to his relief and her shock. Because of his interference, the harmonious circulating flow of turii had been interrupted and chaos would soon begin.

(志方あきこ)

Nice to meet you. I'm Shikata Akiko, and I was the one who sung the lyrics for Turii -Panta rhei-.

I am happy to be part of such a great song! I was invited by Zektbach to sing with his beautiful lyrics, and I had a great time.

Because of the theme and the limited amount of time for the song, we had to cap the amount of lyrics for it. The lyrics however, are able to bring alive the images from the music.

The lyrics enhances the story from the music, so I had to think about how I would sing for each part of the song. This is a magnificent epic with Zektbach's touch. A fierce bright flood of sound, telling eloquently the story of Turii.

Whatever the outcome of the song or overall story, I really look forward to what I have created.

-Panta rhei-, in Greek, means the flow of everything. For much of the story, Turii remains much of a mystery, so please watch the keyboard and don't go crazy.

Video Production Information

Hello, it's MAYA.

I was in charge for the first three Zektbach songs, Blind Justice ～Torn souls, Hurt Faiths～, Ristaccia, and now continuing to Turii-Panta rhei-. Now, chapter 5 finally brings Zektbach's story into an epic.

Here, for once, the tales are sprinkled all about, so I'll tell my side of the production.
