Song Connections/Remixes

• The song is assumed to be a collaboration between Yoshitaka and Tomosuke, due to the similarity between their collab name Caldeira and the artist name Galdeira.
• According to Tomosuke's twitter account, this song was made from the prototype of [Macuilxochitl] that was remixed by Galdeira. This is noticeable from the intro and the piano near the synth part in the middle of Almagest.

Trivia

• The song is the Parallel Rotation One More Extra Stage in AC SIRIUS.
• The title of the song may refer to a sixteenth-century Arabic mathematical and astronomical treatise on the motion of the stars and planets of the same name.
• The genre AKASHIC RECORDS is a new age term refering to a tome that contains all of the knowledge of the universe.
• The SP Normal chart was slightly changed in AC Resort Anthem, removing several scratches in charge note sections that were difficult on the 2P side.

Song Production Information

A new era.

Imagine the power.

Imagine the judgment of that power.

A new frontier where only a select few can go.

Know that the answer is "Almagest."

Video Production Information

I received a powerful image from GOLI, and combined it with the other animations and images in the movie.

I cross-referenced the movie with that of the movie for 卑弥呼 and felt that the movies were similar.
I then took great efforts to make the movie. Working alone, the toughest part was making the mecha spread its wings out like a butterfly!

Mr. GOLI was able to draw images that can move people, and I incorporated 3-D like animations into the film.
I tried to make this movie on a grand scale. I'm doing well-I hope.
