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

Once upon a time.

The eight pieces of Ristaccia were found.

And the eight races, now in possession of the secret power of Ristaccia, awakened.

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

Finally, a mystical giant tree was born on the island of Turii.

And under that giant tree, once lived a special kind of race, the "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 of "mutation". Therefore, they would never bring unbalance to the world, and, likewise, would 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 returned to great harmony once again.

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

(to be continued)

Enjoy.

Zektbach

On a mysterious island where Turii was located, a cyclical ritual involving the people of the stars was held every one-and-a-half years.
No one knows or thinks about what it means. There could only be, at most, 10 of these beings in the world, and their ages were engraved on their bodies by genes.

Malchut, the eldest, realized that she would have to return to nature in order to maintain the Turii's balance in the world.
So after performing a song and dance watched by nine other star people, Malchut quietly went into the water.

But, Kukaru, a young man from Masinowa, suddenly interrupted the ritual.
He belonged to the Sazaragi agency, which was responsible for exploring uninhabited islands and excavating their ancient heritage. During his expedition, Kukaru found a dying Malchut in the water and helped her out, citing his own sense of justice.
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, which she couldn't reverse, despite attempting to end her existence.

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 natural balance of the supernatural distorted energy.
However, this cycle was interrupted by a certain young man 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.
It's Akiko Shikata, whose beautiful voice is filled with fantasy.
I would say she added a lot of depth into the story with her voice.

Well, this type of investigation, Turii ～Panta rhei～, is also decided to be included on The Epic of Zektbach -Ristaccia-. If you are captivated by Akiko Shikata's voice, please check it out.

So, farewell until the next chapter!

Akiko Shikata

Nice to meet you. My name is Akiko Shikata, and I was in charge of singing and providing 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.

I was particular about the lyrics and singing, so based on the theme I received, I expanded the lyrics without breaking the image of the song's worldview.

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 violent 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-, the meaning in Greek is "the flow of everything".
The story of Turii is shrouded in mystery, so please play the keyboard while unraveling it.

Video Production Information

MAYA

Hello, it's MAYA.

This is the third time I was in charge of the movie of Zektbach's epics.
Blind Justice ～Torn souls, Hurt Faiths～, Ristaccia, and now continuing to Turii ～Panta rhei～.
The Zektbach epic has finally reached the fifth chapter.

Here, I will occasionally discuss my aspect of the production, while interspersing them with previous stories.

It's the same for every song I worked on, but if I immediately receive the song and lyrics, I draw an image.
Here, it's ve-ry important.
I drew as many human thoughts, words, and emotions etc. from each sound.
If there are no requests from the sound, or an idea for the story came to my mind, the movie will be completed from there.

Zektbach's epic is the story and worldview of himself, so I had to look at a rough version and think about collaborating with him.

"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, "How... But it's also interesting!"

After understanding the theme and outline, the themes and keywords are incorporated while adding more emotions in the approximate 2 minute movie.
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 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, it's not a designer's desk....

And I draw on the storyboards in one attempt.

I did it!...

I completed the storyboard while filled with joy, it makes me want to escape from reality.
I want to make a bargain with my own body. I only have one body. It's already in 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 make it from the start.
But it always hasn't been this way.
Like my previous work "Ristaccia", it was very rare to receive assistance from professionals.
I never thought I would draw large quantities of animation by myself some years ago.
But after my previous work "Ristaccia", this time I wanted to challenge myself in full animation and full color, no matter what.

I finished it with feelings I never had until now.
I hope you enjoy it.
