Music Comment
With the revival of ancient genetic memories, and their respective justices born from hope and despair, what will be the outcome of this duo at the mercy of fate...
Song Production Information
beatmania IIDX
Zektbach
Nox and Matin. They were two beings with brilliantly beautiful symmetry.
Born from one's self, they were attracted to each other, and planned to follow the lineage of transcendent beings who possessed perfect logic.
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.
The collapsing harmony caused terrifying contradictions in their hearts――
Nox, who was raised in a weak environment, started to be controlled by negative emotions born from resentment, gradually became self-contradictory and couldn't accept Matin's "similar yet different existence".
And in the end, after much suffering, he ends up choosing the path of "complete justice", by eliminating Matin's evil existence.
Matin, who was raised in a strong and happy environment, after understanding everything, is filled with compassion in her heart and only wants to save Nox.
One's self has been divided in half. Their respective blind justices caused a result that was completely different to their naturally ideal world.
No one knew that the lineage of transcendent beings, who corrected the world since ancient times, was completely lost.
Hi everyone. My name is Zektbach. I'm commonly known as Zektbach the CURUCURU. I'm a spinning Zektbach.
This story reveals something important that controls the center of the epic.
The music score is more systematic than Chapter 4's Apocalypse, because going back in time, the world in this story hasn't been controlled by chaos yet.
... Let's leave it at that.
Well, let's talk a bit about the past.
At a bar in certain town where adventurers gather, there was a legendary artist.
I've previously heard some rumors about her. It's MAYA.
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.
Now everyone knows the wonderful drawings that 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.
A very prominent gigantic fortress could be seen across the beautiful, violet blue Tetoroa Sea.
Why does Nox and his allies repeatedly engage in pointless destruction and battles?
Trisagion's teachings have always kept people safe since the Kingdom of Noigllado was founded.
Why are they now trying to disturb it? Why do they pointlessly cause suffering and sadness to people?
Matin firmly held the holy sword in her hand.
Nox... I don't want to fight you if possible....
But, I need to maintain justice.
To protect the hopes of many people, and to make them happy....
Hi everyone. My name is Zektbach. I'm commonly known as Zektbach the Party. I'm a feasting Zektbach.
By everyone's requests, Chapter 3's melody can be enjoyed here too.
The respective fates of two people with opposing sides of justice.
They originally should've completed a mission....
By all means, I'd like you to enjoy such a sad story and the moving song.
Well then, until the next chapter, farewell!
CS Information Data
DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2 CS (Japan) / DanceDanceRevolution X CS (North America)
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.
Video Production Information
MAYA
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.
One pleasant night, when Zektbach and I went out drinking together, I remember that, before I knew it, we bonded over silly stories and spoke to each other with shining eyes.
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 tremendous amount of imagination started to fill up my mind.
Many scattering stars, a swirling hellfire, metallic sword fighting sounds, people's roars, tears, etc.... I vaguely felt the tragedy surrounding this duo.
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.
After I received the lyrics written by koshuka, its vague image solidified, and its world widely expanded.
When I completed it, I'm sincerely glad that I formed its shape.
I'm grateful and happy not just to Zektbach, but to everyone who supported us.
I'm truly honored to be able to express a chapter of The Epic of Zektbach in this way.
Character Information
Is it justice to make the weak suffer?
Is it justice to repeat pointless wars and destruction?
Nox and Matin. Two people with similar faces, advocating their own justices.
MAYA
Hello, I'm MAYA.
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 let me draw them both.
Thank you very much to the staff for listening to my selfishness.
I tried to express unique aspects and appearances in their animations that couldn't be seen in the IIDX movie.
When I moved them, I think both their hearts were expressed well.
To those who've played this song in IIDX, try it in pop'n!
To those who've first played it in pop'n, please try and play it in IIDX~.
What's between this duo?... was it there?... I'm sure The Epic of Zektbach's world will expand again.
Staff Comments
kinoko
I recently went to Mont-Saint-Michel, and this song played in my mind during meditation.
In the Middle Ages, "waaaaaaaaaaap"!!!!
Seiya Murai
A suspicious party held in an old house? It felt like the beginning of a grand story....
Mameshiba
It's a luxurious song that can be played with different characters for 1P and 2P.
It's great that it's luxurious, but as a programmer, do we need to sort Nox and Matin as different characters? I remember thinking about this during production.
This time, I asked 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 KaroYan".
TAMA
We also asked MAYA to write NET Taisen comments.
I'm sorry that we couldn't include separate comments for Nox and Matin.
chihiro
Unlike sigsig, I had to lower their sizes, but even if they get smaller, their atmosphere is kept! Thank you very much~
There doesn't seem to be many examples of identical twins with different genders, and in addition, their facial features are beautiful~!
There might be ups and downs in life, but there are many events that compensate for it, right? I'm jealous
