 The second interlude of the Labyrinthus album. Again, there was no written script, so I had to make it by ear.

Notes
  • In the first line, I'm unsure of the second word she says. I wrote it as Omoiso in katakana because I can't find anything which would fit.
第二章【始まりの調べ~堕天使交響曲~】霧の中の美しい少女 †Interlude†
Dainishou [Hajimari no Shirabe~Datenshi Koukyoukyoku~] Kiri no Naka no Utsukushii Shoujo
Second Chapter [Opening Melody~Fallen Angel Symphony~] The Beautiful Girl Within the Mist

やがてオモイソの扉は開かれた
禁の立ち込めた 暗黒の皆もが広がり
ぼくはひとり船の上に眠っていた
ここは天と地をつなぐ渡し守の皮
希望と絶望の交わるばしょうの
しずかに船を漕ぐ
のように美しい少女が笹やんだ
あなたの嘆き奈落へ流します
ただひとつあくまの誘惑にきをつけて


Yagate omoiso no tobira wa hirakareta
Kin no tachikometa ankoku no minamo ga hirogari
boku wa hitori fune no ue ni nemutteita
koko wa ten to chi wo tsunagu watashimori no kawa
kibou to zetsubou no majiwaru basho no
shizuka ni fune wo kogu
bisuku dooru no you ni utsukushii shoujo ga sasayanda
anata no nageki naraku he nagashimasu
tada hitotsu akuma no yuuwaku ni kiwotsukete

Before long, the doors of Omoiso were opened
The surface of the forbidden surrounding darkness expanded
I was alone, sleeping on a ship
This is where Heaven and Earth are connected- the ferryman's river
The place where Hope and Despair intersect
Silently, the ship rowed on
A beautiful girl like a bisque doll whispered,
"Your grief... let it flow to the underworld.
Just one thing: be wary of the devil's temptations..."

Tenohira no Tsuioku (Ceui) Translation

The second track of Labyrinthus is narration. Seeing as there is nothing written about it, I had to transcribe what she says by ear. This is not the official script and should not be considered 100% accurate.

Notes
  •  A music box, called an orgel in Japan, is commonly associated with romantic or dreamy themes.

てのひらの追憶 †Interlude†
Te no Hira no Tsuioku
Recollections in the Palms of Hands

 ずっと憧れてと
教会の金とどこまでも澄み渡る空
とおくで聞こえる馬車の音
華やか町の結成
でもわたしがいるのよ
町外れのことや
来客のないこのばしょにあなたは現れた
素敵な追憶をわたしにくれた
優しいオルゴールと引き換え


Zutto akogarete to
Kyoukai no kane to dokomademo sumiwataru sora
Tooku de kikoeru basha no oto
Hanayaka machi no kessei
Demo watashi ga iru no yo
Machihazure no koto ya
Raikyaku no nai kono basho ni anata wa arawareta
Sutekina tsuioku wo watashi ni kureta
Yasashii orugooru to hikikae

I've always yearned for it...
The church bells and the clear sky as far as the eye can see
The sound of a distant carriage
The structure of a magnificent city
But I'm here,
In the outskirts of the city
In a place where no one would tread, you appeared
You gave me a beautiful recollection
In exchange for the gentle sound of a music box

Translated by serrival

映画の最後の場面に はじまる音が鳴り出す
Heika no saigo no bamen ni hajimaru oto ga naridasu
In the movie's last scene, the sound of a beginning started to play

初めはふいに訪れ 別れは音の洪水のよう
hajime wa fui ni otozure wakare wa oto no kozui no you
It started with a sudden visit, and the ending was like a flood of sound

かき乱し振り返る 隣にあるはずの日々
kakimidashi furikaeru tonari ni aru hazu no hibi
Feeling bothered, I turned back to those days where we should've been together
流星を探しても 見逃してばかりで でも
Ryuusei wo sagashite mo minogashite bakari de demo
I searched for the falling stars, but I couldn't find any at all

「現れてまた消える
arawarete mata kieru
"Showing up and then disappearing,
それが全てだよ」と
sore ga tsubete da yo to
That applies to just about everything."
きみは今どこで言うの?
kimi wa ima doko de iu no?
I wonder, where are you saying that now?

どれだけの悲しみも 別れも追いつけない
doredake no kanashimi mo wakare mo oitsukenai
How much sadness and how many goodbyes can I not reach?
あのとき流れた星 瞬き、思い、速く
ano toki nagareta hoshi matataki omoi hayaku
The shooting stars of that time are twinkling and fast feelings

過ぎ去る音は激しく
sugisaru oto wa hageshiku
The passing noises sound violent
痛みのない振りで
itami no nai furi de
While pretending that I don't feel any pain,
泳ぎきる
oyogikiru
I'm trying to stay afloat

苦しくて切なくて 何も思えなくて ただ
kurushikute setsunakute nani mo omoenakute tada
It's painful, it's suffocating, I don't feel anything anymore, just
面影を重ねたり 一人よがりの日々 まだ
omokage wo kasanetari hitori yogari no hibi mada
The vestiges which keep repeating in these days where I live only for myself

現れてまら消える それは夢のように
arawarete mata kieru sore wa yume no you ni
Appearing then disappearing, just like a dream
きみを塗りつぶす いつか きっと
kimi wo nuritsubusu itsuka kitto
I'll paint over you one day, surely

暗闇に流れる エンドロールの歌は 終わりを告げているか?
kurayami ni nagareru ENDORORU no uta wa owari wo tsugeteiru ka
Flowing in the darkness, is the credit roll's song about an ending?
それとも日々が また始まる?
soretomo hibi ga mata hajimaru
Or is it about days which have not yet begun?

最後に流れた歌 それだけを繰り返す
saigo ni nagareta uta soredake wo kurikaesu
The song playing at the end is the only thing which repeats
流れる星は強く 瞬き、残る、光
nagareru hoshi wa tsuyoku matataki nokoru hikari
The flowing stars brilliantly shine, leaving behind their light

星を渡る鳥 ~ L'oiseau qui traverse les étoiles

 The Bird That Crosses The Stars

French translation of a song by Nem, sung by Kagamine Len. This translation was made using wingarea's wonderful English translation of the song. I am not a native French speaker and have only learned it for a few years, so there are most likely many mistakes. Still, I hope you can enjoy and maybe even use these lyrics!

Une traduction d’une chanson par Nem, chanté par Kagamine Len. Cette traduction été créée avec référence à la traduction anglaise merveilleuse par wingarea. Je ne suis pas une francophone et j'ai seulement étudié la langue pour un peu d’années, donc il est probable qu’il a beaucoup d'erreurs. J’espère que vous pouvez prendre plaisir de cette traduction ou même utiliser les paroles pour chanter !

However, do know that there are a few mistakes, my accent is horrible, and my singing is even worse. =P


L'oiseau qui traverse les étoiles

À la fin de ce ciel si grand
Il était comme ceci il y a longtemps.
On disait qu’il y avait une
étoile pleine de vie et faune.

L’homme s’est noyé dans l’avarice sans fin, et puis
Le monde s’est arrêté de respirer dans languis.

Après qu’un très, très long temps s’est écoulé
Ce que j’ai écouté,
Elle était, elle était
Votre voix qui m’appelait.

Je vais devenir un oiseau,
En battant mes coulisses, j’irai très, très loin,
Au-delà des milliers d’étoiles, je
Serai à votre côté.

Même si mon corps-ci brûlera
Et deviendra cendres, et puis disparaîtra
Mon cœur traversera le temps, affermi,
et ira donc à notre lieu promis.

Je ne me souviens rien de la forme qu’elle avait.
Personne ne connaît cette forme vague et oubliée.

Après qu’un très, très long temps s’est écoulé,
Je suis enfin arrivé
À vous qui étiez, vous qui étiez
La chère étoile qui m’attendait.

Cet endroit où nous sommes nés, tu et moi,
Ici je donne le même nom à ce lieu-là. 

Alors nos deux cœurs clairs sont
Devenus un cœur, transformés en lumière
Pour que toute vie puisse encore
Être naître de nouveau à foison.

Pour que nous n’allions jamais répéter
Ces erreurs qu’on a faites dans le passé,
Je chanterai des chansons d’amour.
Ici je continue à chanter toujours…

Announcement of a sidestory to Ar tonelico


It's recently been announced that a sidestory manga to Ar tonelico is in the making. This story features fresh new characters and is set many years after the first game. In this story, a group of villains try to take hold of the powers of a dangerous tower and its server, called the Vesperia server. Fernia Namanac, the young reyvateil protagonist, and her friends must stop them and prevent the destruction of Ar Ciel.
So far, most of the story seems to take place in Sol Ciel. The story starts off peaceful, a little slow, and resembles a cute slice-of-life story. Later, however, the story veers from the path and becomes an action-packed suspense.
Here's a draft of the promotional art for this sidestory, called Ar tonelico:世界が再生(ニョカーナション)の為少女達は祈り謳う。
The name translates to (The singing prayer of the girls for the sake of the world's Neocarnation).

So far, it's unknown when this story will be released. The artist for the manga is, strangely, not Nagi, the artist for Ar tonelico, so the style of drawing is completely different. Some fans have been disappointed by this, but the manga can still be a great hit.

___________________

Commentary by Ilutiern, artist for Ar tonelico: The Singing Prayer of the Girls for the Sake of the world's Neocarnation.
...Ungu. I attempted to create the same 'feel' as the Japanese box cover art for the previous Ar tonelico games. It's kind of successful, but at the same time not. My lack of experience with any machines or mechanisms hinders me. (cough)
So, this is the first draft. On the left is AD, an important character in the story. She's not supposed to be naked (laughs) Her clothes will be drawn on shortly. In the middle bottom is the afamed Fernia Namanac, whose first name in Hymmnos means 'smile'. On the right is the antagonist, but I can't really say anything more.
The Vesperia tower... to be honest, I'm not even sure if it's supposed to be there. (laughs) It somewhat resembles a flower high up on a mountain.
The border actually has slight symbolism in some parts. On the upper side are two wing-like ornaments that look like butterflies, the symbol of change into beauty. The two separate sides of the border twine together at the bottom, becoming one and supporting the rest of the body.
There's definitely a couple of problems in the draft that need to be worked out, such as the lack of symmetry (nervous laugh) In any case, I hope you enjoy this sneak peek at Ar tonelico, Fernia style! (thumbs up)
