Japanese Translation

火の山よ焔の礫にて国々を撃たん 蒼海よ狂濤の棺にて船を抱かん 大地よ深遠へと裂け人々を招かん トゥーリーはかく語りき 理の音よ轟け 拝せよ夫地の宣告 苦難に附き従え 塗り替わる数多の系譜 運命には大いなる悦び 知恵の実を口にした仔等は 騎りと執着を手にする 理の変革へと足掻いた翼は 奈落の迷宮へと堕ちてゆく 種の終焉そして創生 幾重に彩る美しき生命 万物は流転し　世界は調和する すべては溶け合い　ひとつの河に集う 風よ猛き爪で樹々を薙ぎ払わん 叢雲よ暗き帳となり太陽を隠さん 雷霆よ天轟かせ光の矢を放たん 森羅万象よ命の箱舟を彼方へと導かん

Song Production Information

Zektbach

On the mysterious island of Turii, a cyclical ritual involving the people of the stars was held every one-and-a-half years.
No one knows its meaning, nor does anyone think about it. There are 10 of these beings in the world, and they do the ritual because its engraved on their genes.

Malchut, the eldest, realized that she would have to return to nature as a reincarnated person to give birth to a new Keter.
For more than 1000 years, the people of the stars have been strictly observing the flow of energy inherent in the Turii tree.
After a series of songs and dances, Malchut quietly went into the water watched by nine other star people.

But, Kukaru, a young man from Masinowa, suddenly interrupted the ritual.
He belonged to the Sazaragi organization, which was responsible for exploring uninhabited islands and excavating their ancient heritage. During his expedition, Kukaru found a dying Malchut in the water and out of his sense of justice, he helped her.
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.

Malchut was then taken away to Masinowa, as the nine remaining star people couldn't reverse the chaos and eventually died. Thus, the trivial thought of a young man disrupted the causality between the stars, and consequently caused great chaos.
Malchut gradually awakened and realized her existence caused great chaos to the planet, and despite attempting to end her existence, she couldn't reverse what happened.

Excerpt from The Epic of Zektbach, Chapter 5: Holy Tree Turii And the People of the Stars

Hi, everyone. My name is Zektbach.
Zektbach the Renature. Zektbach of natural regression.
This time, we're investigating Turii ～Panta rhei～. It's said that this investigation is finally the beginning of the second part of the epic.
The story of begins on Turii island, where 10 star people live under a big tree.

The location of the island is said to be a secret, with the stars maintaining the harmony of the supernatural distorted energy.
However, this cycle was interrupted by a certain young man who arrives there for a trivial reason in the scope of the big meaning.
What was the original form of living things wished by the stars?

Well, this time the investigation is conducted by a very nice singer.
Akiko Shikata's beautiful voice is filled with fantasy.
I would say she added a lot of depth into the story with her voice.

Well, I'm pleased to announce that this investigation, Turii ～Panta rhei～, is included on "The Epic of Zektbach -Ristaccia-". If you are captivated by Akiko Shikata's voice, please check it out.

Until the next chapter, farewell!

Akiko Shikata

Nice to meet you. My name is Akiko Shikata, and I was in charge of singing and writing the lyrics for Turii ～Panta rhei～.

I'm happy to participate in this wonderful song!
I was invited by Zektbach's beautiful melody, and I really enjoyed singing it.

As for what I focused on in writing the lyrics and singing the song, I wrote the lyrics based on the theme I was given, while developing the image of the song without breaking the worldview of the song.

For the song, I tried to devise a way to sing each scene, so the song's narrative could be expanded.
It's Zektbach's twist of a big epic.
The intense and brilliant flood of sounds, eloquently recounts the story about the land of Turii.
Whatever type of outcome will arrive at the conclusion of this story? I'm really looking forward to what was produced!

-Panta rhei- means "the flow of everything" in Greek.
Please play the keyboard and unravel the mysterious story of Turii.

Video Production Information

MAYA

Hello, it's MAYA.

This is the third time I've been in charge of a movie in The Epic of Zektbach.
Blind Justice ～Torn souls, Hurt Faiths～, Ristaccia, and now Turii ～Panta rhei～.
The Epic of Zektbach has finally reached its fifth chapter.

Here, I will talk about its the production, sometimes with some previous stories.

It's the same for every song I worked on, once I receive the song and lyrics, I immediately draw an image.
This is ve~ry important.
I drew as many human thoughts, words, and emotions etc. from each sound.
If there are no requests from the sound producer, or if I am thinking of the story on my own, the movie will be completed from there.

The Epic of Zektbach has its own story and worldview, so I had to look at a rough version and think about collaborating with Zektbach.
"This girl should not think of anything else...", said Zektbach.
"Ok, I'll do that!", I replied.
I sometimes say, "The story of the twins is good!" "Well, it was very well done."
"The video has to express the story in around two minutes... Let's do it here!"
Sometimes it's also, "Oh my... That's interesting too!"

After understanding the theme and outline, the lyrics and keywords are incorporated while adding more emotions into a movie of about 2 minutes in length.
In doing so, I learned about keywords.
Functions, prime numbers, genes, evolutionary theory, etc. When I was a student, I often liked to read, but... Teacher!
I don't remember them anymore!!
I tried to buy it myself, Zektbach, JONY.C, I will never forget the many materials piled on my desk.... The materials which were full of sticky notes.
Everyone said it wasn't a designer's desk....

And I drew the storyboards all at once.

I did it!...

I completed the storyboard filled with joy, as it makes me want to escape from reality.
It's a battle between what I want to create and my body. I only have one body. That's already a trouble.
I can see my assignment piled on my desk.
But when it happens, it's also certainly the most fun.

This time, I decided to work alone from the start.
But it always hasn't been this way.
It was very rare to receive assistance from professionals like I did with my previous work, "Ristaccia".
I never thought I would draw large quantities of animation by myself some years ago.
But after "Ristaccia", this time I wanted to challenge myself in full animation and full color, no matter what.

I think I was able to create something that I had never done before.
I hope you enjoy it.
