On a mysterious island, where the site for Turii was located, a ceremony involving the people of the stars was held every one and a half years.
==== 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.<br>
There could only be, at most, 10 of these beings in the world, and their ages were marked on their bodies by rings.
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 a ceremony with song and dancing in front of the nine other star people, she quietly went into the water.
Malchut, the eldest, realized that she would have to return to nature in order to maintain the Turii's balance in the world.<br>
 
So after performing a song and dance watched by nine other star people, Malchut quietly went into the water.
But, out of youthful exuberance, Kukaru, who had been observing the ceremony, interrupted the ceremony.  He belonged to an agency, Sazaragi, that was responsible for exploring distant lands and their heritage.  In his sense of justice, Kukaru rescued Malchut from drowning, much to his relief and her shock.  Because of his interference, the harmonious circulating flow of Turii had been interrupted and chaos would soon begin.


Malchut was then taken away to Mashinowa, leaving the other nine star people behind on the island, causing disorder. This break in the ring of harmony caused the disruption of causality between the stars and the planet.
But, Kukaru, a young man from Masinowa, suddenly interrupted the ritual.<br>
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.<br>
In contrast to Kukaru's relieved appearance, Malchut couldn't understand what happened and displayed a blank expression.<br>
Because of his interference, the harmonious circulating flow of Turii was disrupted and chaos would soon begin.


Malchut gradually awakened to the disruption of the natural balance of the planet. She realized that the disruption was now present and that she now did not have the power to eliminate it.
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.<br>
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''




Hey, everyone, this is Zektbach.
Hi, everyone. My name is Zektbach.<br>
Zektbach the Renature. Zektbach of natural regression.<br>
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.<br>
The story of begins on Turii island, where 10 star people live under a big tree.


Zektbach the Renature. Zektbach of natural regression.
The location of the island is said to be a secret, with the stars maintaining the natural balance of the supernatural distorted energy.<br>
However, this cycle was interrupted by a certain young man for a trivial reason in the scope of the big meaning.<br>
What was the original form of living things wished by the stars?


Here we investigate Turii ~Panta rhei~. This is the start of an epic and sequel to all the others.
Well, this time the investigation is conducted by a very nice singer.<br>
It's Akiko Shikata, whose beautiful voice is filled with fantasy.<br>
I would say she added a lot of depth into the story with her voice.


This is the story of Taiki and the 10 Turii star people who lived on an island far from others.
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.


The location of the island was a secret; the goal of the stars was to maintain the natural balance of the supernatural distorted energy in secret. However, this cycle was observed and disturbed by a certain young man who came to them.

Well, this story is examined by a wonderful singer.
So, farewell until the next chapter! 
Shikata Akiko's beautiful voice is filled with fantasy.
She added a lot of depth into the story with her voice.


Well, it looks like we are finished with Turii ~Panta rhei~.  This song was also recorded on ''The Epic of Zektbach -Ristaccia-''.  Shikata Akiko's voice will be prominently featured on the record.
==== 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~.


[http://bmf.i-revo.jp/zektbach/introduction/album.html http://bmf.i-revo.jp/zektbach/introduction/album.html]
I'm happy to participate in this wonderful song!<br>
I was invited by Zektbach's beautiful melody, and I really enjoyed singing it.


So, until the next chapter, farewell!  
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.<br>
=== Akiko Shikata ===
It's Zektbach's twist of a big epic.<br>
The violent and brilliant flood of sounds, eloquently recounts the story about the land of Turii.<br>
Whatever type of outcome will arrive at the conclusion of this story? I'm really looking forward to what was produced!


Nice to meet you.  I'm Shikata Akiko, and I was the one who sung the lyrics for Turii ~Panta rhei~.
-Panta rhei-, the meaning in Greek is "the flow of everything".<br>
The story of Turii is shrouded in mystery, so please play the keyboard while unraveling it.


I am happy to be part of such a great song!  I was invited by Zektbach to sing with his beautiful lyrics, and I had a great time.
== Video Production Information ==
=== MAYA ===
Hello, it's MAYA.


Because of the theme and the limited amount of time for the song, we had to cap the amount of lyrics for it. The lyrics however, are able to bring alive the images from the music.
This is the third time I was in charge of the movie of Zektbach's epics.<br>
[[Blind Justice ~Torn souls, Hurt Faiths~|Blind Justice ~Torn souls, Hurt Faiths~]], [[Ristaccia]], and now continuing to Turii ~Panta rhei~.<br>
The Zektbach epic has finally reached the fifth chapter.


The lyrics enhances the story from the music, so I had to think about how I would sing for each part of the song.  This is a magnificent epic with Zektbach's touch.  A fierce bright flood of sound, telling eloquently the story of Turii.
Here, I will occasionally discuss my aspect of the production, while interspersing them with previous stories.


Whatever the outcome of the song or overall story, I really look forward to what I have created.
It's the same for every song I worked on, but if I immediately receive the song and lyrics, I draw an image.<br>
Here, it's ve-ry important.<br>
I drew as many human thoughts, words, and emotions etc. from each sound.<br>
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.


Panta rhei, in Greek, means the flow of everything.  For much of the story, Turii remains much of a mystery, so please watch the keyboard and don't go crazy.
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.<br>


== Video Production Information ==
"This girl should not think of anything else...", said Zektbach.<br>
=== MAYA ===
"Ok, I'll do that!", I replied.<br>
Hello, it's MAYA.
I sometimes say, "The story of the twins is good!" "Well, it was very well done."<br>
"The video has to express the story in around two minutes... Let's do it here!"<br>
Sometimes it's also, "How... But it's also interesting!"


I was in charge for the first three Zektbach songs, [[Blind Justice ~Torn souls, Hurt Faiths~|Blind Justice ~Torn souls, Hurt Faiths~]], [[Ristaccia]], and now continuing to Turii ~Panta rhei~. Now, chapter 5 finally brings Zektbach's story into an epic.
After understanding the theme and outline, the themes and keywords are incorporated while adding more emotions in the approximate 2 minute movie.<br>
In doing so, I learned about keywords.<br>
Functions, prime numbers, genes, evolutionary theory, etc. When I was a student, I often liked to read, but... Teacher!<br>
I don't remember anymore!!<br>
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.<br>
<small><span style="color:purple">Everyone, it's not a designer's desk....</span></small>


Here, for once, the tales are sprinkled all about, so I'll tell my side of the production.
And I draw on the storyboards in one attempt.


This song is similar to the others I have worked with in that the movie and the song have to mesh well together.<br>
I did it!...
It is also important here for this song.<br>
At the beginning, I drew and drew whatever ideas and images, words, and feelings came to me from listening to the song.<br>
Listening to the song, and the requests from the others, an idea for illustrating the story came to mind.<br>
The completion of the movie goes from there.


Zektbach's epic is the story of a world, and like Zektbach, I had to imagine how the story and the video had to mesh together.<br>
I completed the storyboard while filled with joy, it makes me want to escape from reality.<br>
Trying to brainstorm together, we had many ideas, such as:<br>
I want to make a bargain with my own body. I only have one body. It's already in trouble.<br>
I can see my assignment piled on my desk.<br>
But when it happens, it's also certainly the most fun.


"This girl should not think of anything else...", said Zektbach.<br>
This time, I decided to make it from the start.<br>
"Ok, I'll do that!" I replied.<br>
But it always hasn't been this way.<br>
"The story of the twins is good!" "Well, it was very well done."<br>
Like my previous work "Ristaccia", it was very rare to receive assistance from professionals.<br>
"Remember, the video has to express the story in a little over two minutes, so use it well!" "That looks interesting!"
I never thought I would draw large quantities of animation by myself some years ago.<br>
But after my previous work "Ristaccia", this time I wanted to challenge myself in full animation and full color, no matter what.


(partial translation)
I finished it with feelings I never had until now.<br>
I hope you enjoy it.
