Song Connections/Remixes

• 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.
